The player I'm most excited for is my dear Nick Mangold. Not only is he arguably the best Center in the league, but he's one of the coolest guys around. As I've mentioned before, Nick and I are friends on Twitter. Seriously, he's supposed to be sending me a macaroni necklace as a belated Christmas present. I'm not just a creepy weirdo who tweets him incessantly (though I do), but he actually follows me and tweets me back. He's so easily accessible and likable and incredibly dedicated to his team. I just adore him and I'm so happy that the fans recognize his hard work. However, I'm hoping he can't go to the Pro Bowl because he'll be ineligible due to playing in the Super Bowl.
I'm also very proud of Marc Mariani, my little rookie Kick Returner. He had such a great rookie season and I'm happy that he got the recognition he deserves. Good job, kid!
I do have a few bones to pick about two particular players who did NOT get selected:
Chris Johnson- Seriously? I know he didn't have the best season, but the guy had 11 touchdowns, over 1,300 yards and gets overlooked for the Pro Bowl? That's ludicrous to me, not just as a Titans fan, but as a fan of great football players. I feel personally slighted that he didn't make the cut. Dude's got swagger and is friends with Lil' Wayne, that should be reason enough to put him in the Pro Bowl.
Peyton Hillis- Yet another, SERIOUSLY?!?!? Look at those guns! Bro is awesome! 1,100 rushing yards, 474 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.... Proof that fans should not be in charge of Pro Bowl voting.
Also, because he's my favorite Titan, I am disappointed that Cortland Finnegan was excluded as well. I know he has an attitude, but he's a fierce competitor and I think it would be fun to watch him in the Pro Bowl for a second consecutive year.
Next year, I'll take some more time for voting so I have less to bitch about after the roster is announced.
