Flacco declines chance to play in Pro Bowl

[helloharv]

His wife is due to give birth to their 3rd child this month.

Glad he was offered the chance, hopefully next year he has to miss it again due to be in the SB !

Okay that makes sense. I was beginning to wonder why Dalton was chosen first. I feel better now lol

[I Touchdown There]

Yeah seriously! Wonder how they select alternates?

Between guys who can't play because of injury, guys who can't play because of the Super Bowl, and guys who just don't feel like playing, there are so many people named to the Pro Bowl anymore that it has gotten even more meaningless than it already was.

I'm guessing that I personally will be named to the Pro Bowl at some point.

It's kind of stupid that players who go to the Pro Bowl as replacements get to call themselves "Pro Bowlers". If the declines continue, Geno Smith will be a Pro Bowler this year.

I voted for you this year in the write-in section.

Hope it happens for you and you decline too, LOL They should just pay the guys extra money and let the lingerie football teams play on tv. Bet there are more viewers for that game. SMH

Unrelated, but isn't kind of bad timing that his wife is due right up to the Super Bowl?

Make sure you announce yourself properly.

I have declared myself an ineligible player. So, you never know.

Agreed. I planned my kids' birthdays to be outside football season and I'm just a fan. How hard can it be?

[wickedsolo]

So can we now stop with the "he's never made a pro bowl" crap?

Sometimes your planning and your wife's physiology don't have the same plans.
