If Mario's not in Hawaii, somethings wrong with the NFL...

Writer's Note: This blog entry is about Mario Williams, and the Pro Bowl. A game analysis will come soon enough. So keep your pants on!

Be honest now. Who actually believed through 14 games, Mario Williams would be a mere half a sack away from the league lead. With his 3.5 sack performance, he now leads the AFC with 13 sacks on the year, and an astounding 9 sacks in the last 5 games. He was an absolute beast out there, and with each sack, Mario is looking more, and more "super" with each game. However, at the top of the voting numbers among DEs is none other than Dwight Freeney. The Colts starting defensive end with a unparalleled 3 and a half sacks. Wow, now that's a probowl season! (I have to admit, textual sarcasm is very hard to do.) I beleive our hero most recently had that ammount in one day.

This makes me glad that the voting is only a third of the process. Otherwise, I'd be outraged.

Many of us were upset that the LB that was 2nd in Total Tackles last year with 156 was snubbed out of the probowl last year. Again, this year seems to be the case because the ILB that has the most votes is Tedy Bruschi. Nothing against the guy, but last time I checked he's not dominant. He has 2 sacks, 73 tackles, 0 FF, 0 FR and 0 INTs. Let's take a look at our very own linebacker... DeMeco Ryans has 121 tackles, 1 FF, 3 FR and 1 INT.

Fan voting makes me sick.
