And We're baaaack.

Like the Vikings Bryant Mckinnie, I stopped caring about football in the middle of last week. But unlike Mckinnie, i stopped twittering as well. The only player that i've ever heard of being kicked off a pro bowl team, Mckinnie has added insult to injury for Vikings fans.

In response to criticism for missing 4 out of the 5 pro bowl practices and not showing up for the team photo, Mckinnie tweeted: "HATERS MAKE ME STRONGER SO THANX 4 THE FAVOR! I DON'T BREAK SUCKAS"

Haters? Your first pro bowl selection, you spent all of your time partying, not showing up to practices, and then pulling out the "I'm injured" card after people finally became fed-up. People that call you out on that aren't "haters", they're just calling a douche bag a douche bag.
I can't show up one day out of the work week, and then call the HR department haters when I get fired.

I think removing the word "pro" from his Pro Bowl Selection would be accurate.

I guess I would be more upset about his representation of my favorite team if this years pro bowl setup wasn't already a joke.

This is the first year the Pro Bowl has come BEFORE the Super Bowl. Which may sound like a good idea, to keep a captive football audience in the bye week prior to the super bowl.

This leaves out the logic that the best two teams will not only have the most pro bowl selections, but will be playing the following week in the Super Bowl and won't have their selections attend. If the Vikings had made it to the Super Bowl 10 pro bowl selections would not have played.

Despite that flawed logic, the masses tuned in anyway to watch their favorite pro bowl replacement, replacement, play a half hearted football game. Unfortunately the ratings were up over years past, assuring the same format next year.
