The 2010 Pro Bowl selections were released with final selections today. The 2010 Pro Bowl selections have eight Minnesota Vikings on the roster, as well as six players from Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Dallas. Baltimore, Denver, San Diego, and New Orleans followed up those teams with five players on the 2010 Pro Bowl roster. It was a bad day for the Seattle Seahawks though, who had no players on the Pro Bowl roster for the first time in years.
The selections for AFC quarterback are the usual suspects, with Peyton Manning as the starter getting backed up by Philip Rivers and Tom Brady. But where is Matt Schaub? Over in the NFC the quarterbacks are Drew Brees starting with Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers backing him up. But no Donovan McNabb this year apparently. The top running backs were picked well, with Chris Johnson in the AFC and Adrian Peterson in the NFC. There could be some arguments about the rest of the choices, but these are all good players.
The following is the list of 2010 Pro Bowl selections to the starting team.

Why have the Pro Bowl before the Super Bowl?
I thought that the reason for the Pro Bowl was
to have the best of the best play, this way that
won't happen.
what the hell, if you play your best and are at the top of your field, why are you not selected to the pro-bowl.....?
