Who's Going to Hawaii?

Where to start? What a difference a day makes in terms of news. Some days finding something interesting is a reach, and other days there are 10 items that are all worthy of a shout out . . . but not everyone can make the Pleats 'n Cleats cut.

Let's start with the 2008 Pro Bowl selections. Most of the selections (in the sexy positions anyway, i.e., QB, RB, and WR) are names that you know - Peyton, Brady, Moss, Favre, and yes, Brian "unselfish" Westbrook.

Of note, Sean Taylor received a posthumous selection as starting free safety, which was the first time that a deceased player had been selected to an "all-star" game in any sport since hockey player Pelle Lindbergh died in a car accident in the mid-80's. Taylor definitely deserved the selection with the numbers he had posted before his death, as evidenced by the fact that he was one of the leaders in votes received before he was killed. Seeing articles refer to him as "the late Sean Taylor" really brings back the sadness of his loss all over again.

But of course, as with anything involving selections by some means other than wins and losses, there is some controversy. Nothing to write to Roger Goodell about, in my opinion, but that's just . . . my opinion. Except for maybe Fred Taylor. But Taylor took some catches from my player, Maurice Jones-Drew, so I'm not crying too hard.

Plus, there's plenty of time between now and the Pro Bowl in February for some guys to get hurt so don't fret.
