I am not a fan of the Pro Bowl. Too many things wrong with it. Take the voting, for example. Why is the voting conducted before the end of the NFL season? I hate that. If a running back scores seven touchdowns in his final two weeks, it means nothing for his Pro Bowl chances. The voting's already been decided.

And every year, there are some obvious snubs in the Pro Bowl rosters. This year, two Lions got screwed.

Mostly, they got screwed by their fellow teammates and the 0-14 record..  if these guys had even 3 wins, these guys would be going to Hawaii

Calvin Johnson, WR, Lions

It's not Calvin Johnson's fault that the Lions are 0-14. Or that he's had to play for five different quarterbacks. Johnson has 65 receptions for 1,165 yards and 10 touchdowns, second-best in the NFL. He's a big play guy, and his 17.9 yards per catch average is fifth-best in the league. His 96-yard touchdown reception in Week Seven has been one of the longest plays in football this season.

He gets my vote over either Larry Fitzgerald or Anquan Boldin, both of whom have the benefit of not only each other on the other side of the field drawing away defenders, but also a Pro Bowl quarterback in Kurt Warner throwing to them.

What is it with these Lions not getting the credit they deserve? Voting for the kickers is always difficult to judge, and since Hanson ranks just 27th in the league in scoring (thank that Detroit offense, it's easy to overlook him. But it's tough to ignore the fact that he is an astounding 8-for-8 this season on field goals from 50-plus yards. He's only missed one field goal all season, and his 95.5 percent success rate (21-for-22) is second best in the NFL among kickers with a minimum of 20 attempts.
