Luck to the Pro Bowl

[cbear]

exactly. the pro bowl is nothing like this. everyone is just goofing around.

 

Yep.  It was a farce last year....an absolute sham.  I'll watch this year only because of Luck, but the game itself is a joke now.

[Dark Superman]

This kid truly deserves to be in the pro bowl.

[Fx Stryker]

So since Brady can't go due to injure does this mean he played the AFCCG with an "injury." Like ever other loss.........

 

Convenient isn't it?

[ColtsFTW]

Possibly a dumb question. Does it actually go on your acomplishments if you're just replacing someone?

 

Nvm it was answered. Didnt read down far enough before I got the question. =p

Yes

Yep it counts for him. I posted a pic of his wikipedia page that says he made it in 2012.

Well I could put it that he made every Pro Bowl on wiki, lololol.

 

It does count though.

Yes, I can't wait to see Peyton and Andrew's interaction.

Kinda feels like my ex wife going to a conference and hanging out with my current wife. I'm sure they'll get along fine, but I'm not really comfortable with any possible outcome of that interaction...

[IcEWoLF]

As I said 2 months ago Luck would replace Brady for pro bowl because Brady doesn't want to play flag football.

[Coltsince4]

I look forward to all the awkward moments with him and Peyton.

I think they will get along just fine.

[braveheartcolt]

It's gonna be awesome watching Watt go 100% on every play and everyone yelling "STOP IT!!"

Well, with all the Patriot withdrawals, it will be easier for him....

[braveheartcolt]

A lot of folk are missing the point. It's the honour that's important, mixing with your peers, winding down after a long hard season and having some fun. The reason the Patriots regularly opt out (when they are not losing Super Bowls) is because they are big fat sour losers.

 

The game is irrelevant......and you don't have to watch it......

[Qwiz]

Well, with all the Patriot withdrawals, it will be easier for him....

You know 12 is happy to have Watt on his side instead of standing across from him for once.

[braveheartcolt]

Schoolboy error. But you got the drift....

[funktacious2]

Hey, whether the Pro Bowl is competitive or not, I'll probably watch it and enjoy it. Also, I think it'll be a good opportunity for Luck to meet some of the all-time greats in this league. 

[JlynRN]

I'm glad Luck gets to go, he deserves to be there after the season he had.  I'm sure he will enjoy spending time with everyone, and of course the location is nice too  LOL

[lollygagger8]

Awww, Luck is replacing Brady. What did Brady hurt? His feelings??

I guess I'll be watching the Pro Bowl now since Luck is in it.

It'll be nice to see luck behind a legit O-Line!

Plus he's probably already memorized the playbook lol.

So how many throws will Luck make to Reggie do you think?

[teganslaw]

I'll be watching. It doesn't matter to me if the game isn't real competitive or doesn't count. I enjoy seeing all the players, even better now that Luck is in it.

[SilentHill]

Sweet, now I have a reason to watch the pro-bowl!

Luck, Daniels, Beadles and Thomas take the place of

 

injured New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski, guard Logan Mankins and receiver Wes Welker. Nose tackle Vince Wilfork, also of the Patriots, withdrew from the Pro Bowl as well.

 

 

Spiller, Williams and Incognito take the place of three Ravens players -- running back Ray Rice, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and guard Marshal Yanda -- who won't play in the game after Baltimore advanced  the Super Bowl

 

((( OT Clady Peviouly withdrew with shoulder injury ))

Robert Edwards blew out his knee playing in the NFL Pro Bowl Flag Football game on the beach in Waikiki.

And bert jones also.

[jvan1973]

And bert jones also.

Bert Jones had a shoulder injury and it didn't happen at a pro bowl

[ADayWithoutRain]

My bad,i meant brent jones(he tore up his knee or something at the probowl yrs ago).I often get brent/bert mixed up.I mean the 9ner TE.

[Old Colt]

Don't be surprised if Peyton doesn't play either..  the game has gotten to be a joke and I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't 100% at this point anyway.  Good for AL though, he will see many more of these too!

[hawkeyes]

The NFL should NOT have an all star game!

[Coltsman1788]

Congrats to Andrew...glad he will get an opportunity to play.  Well deserved.  Not bad for a rook.

Manning always plays in the pro-bowl from what I can remember.

[jvan1973]

All i really want to see since the game didn't mean anything, Is for Peyton to run a few read option plays. That would make me laugh really hard..

[GoColts8818]

Reggie Wayne might be the happiest person in Hawaii on Sunday between Luck and Manning he will probably see a lot of passes go his way.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Manning has challenged (and Champ Bailey backs him) for the players to play hard.  Adrian Peterson reportedly plans to be MVP of the game.  I'm glad there are a lot of youngsters there, because they will reclaim the game from being a total joke to being a not dire but a more serious contest while you are in it.  Peyton realizes how much will be lost if they don't turn it around and it forces the NFL to cancel it. If it doesn't work, i'm glad Andrew went before it was shelved.
