The Worst: 2009 NFL Pro Bowl Ballot

Just for fun I figured now would be a good time to submit the worst possible Pro Bowl allowed without write in votes. Here goes:

At the quarterback position we're looking for failure to come in one of three different ways. 1) Horrible Play, 2) Benched, 3) Injured. Each of these representatives have combined at least two of these fields. Josh Johnson, Brady Quinn and of course JaMarcus Russell have both been awful this season and at times benched. The combo of Jake Delhomme and Mark Bulger have strictly worked the miserable side of the equation and are now injured and out. Finally we have Trent Edwards who works the triumvirate, first he was miserable, than he got injured and now he is benched.

For running back I was looking for these characteristics: 1) Not the Starter, 2) Injured, or 3) Tremendously Underachieved. Buckhalter, Kevin Faulk and Rock Cartwright are all their teams backups if not third string running backs. Darren McFadden is probably not the Raiders #1 and he was injured for much of the season. Brian Westbrook hasn't played in over a month and might not play again this season. And finally, Matt Forte has been the biggest fantasy disappointment in the league, he does nothing, ever.

For the receiver category I would have gone with 3 Browns but only Massaqoui was on the list and he's not quite as bad as the collection of Raiders and Josh Reed. In the NFC we have Isaac Bruce who's pretty much retired, Devin Thomas who is a kick returner, Roy Williams who amazingly plays WR without hands and finally Michael Clayton who has 204 yards receiving this season.


For the Tight Ends I went with guys I've never heard of plus 1 Lion. I didn't really look at the stats, but I imagine all of these guys have done essentially nothing because I haven't seen them in a single highlight all year.

As for the rest of the ballot, who cares really? I don't know whom the worst Offensive Tackle or Inside Linebacker in the NFL is and I don't care to go through the whole ballot to try to figure it out. So I just filled in those votes and voted for Darrelle Revis because he's a hero.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
