[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 194645, member: 288"] An interesting piece for the fans moreso than the players.. as a Player I would hold onto it and use it to feed my drive.. but as a fan.. I agree with the "Get over it" bit.. :twocents: [url]http://www.madison.com/tct/blogs/lucas/262918[/url] Lucas at Large: Will the Pro Bowl snubs inspire Packers? Mike Lucas — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have sent at least one player to the Pro Bowl in each of the last 11 seasons. But the Bucs stop here. The streak is now over, even though the Buccaneers are the owners of a 9-5 record and the NFC South division title. Tampa Bay had some worthy candidates. Like wide receiver Joey Galloway, who's averaging 17.6 yards per catch. Like cornerback Ronde Barber, a four-time choice. Like linebacker Derrick Brooks, a perennial Pro Bowler (10 straight teams). What did the Tasmanian Devil (Jon Gruden) have to say bout the snubs? "I'm just disappointed for our players,'' he told the Tampa Tribune. And, then, he added this important caveat, "I'd rather have playoff players, anyhow.'' Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio might echo Gruden's sentiments, especially since the Jags also got jobbed by the Pro Bowl voters. They got shut out, despite sporting an impressive 10-4 record. Fred Taylor was most deserving, too. Misery must deserve company. Does that make you feel any better Packer Backer? While you could make convincing Pro Bowl arguments for middle linebacker Nick Barnett and cornerback Charles Woodson -- who's more deserving than Al Harris -- you're not always going to get what you want. Or what you deserve, because it's largely a popularity contest. Not that you can't vent. "It's shocking,'' Ronde Barber told the Tampa Tribune. "We're the No. 1 scoring defense in the NFC but we've got nobody on the list.'' And, then, he followed suit with his own worn caveat, "It is what it is.'' Maybe the best advice was offered up by Kansas City coach Herm Edwards. After yet another loss, the Chiefs' 10th in 14 games, Edwards acknowledged, "People aren't used to this in Kansas City.'' And, then, he delivered the kicker, [color=lime]"Get over it.'' Words to live by. Get over it. "It happens,'' Edwards continued. "It's called life. You can't think you're too big that it's not going to happen to you. It happens to everybody.''[/color] Because he didn't get a very pleasant response, Edwards has since clarified his wording. Nonetheless, he was spot-on. Pro Bowl snub? Get over it. After all, you play to win the game. And most Packer fans would rather have playoff players anyhow.
