While my resolve to keep this train a-rollin has not diminished (like it has before), things are pretty slow right now in Oakland due to this little event called the Super Bowl. It's never much fun to talk about the Pro Bowl, but since there were a couple of Raiders there it's worth mentioning somewhat. Nnamdi Asomugha (who may not be a Raider for long, sadly) was obviously named a starter but did not play, presumably due to injury. Hey, the fact checker took the night off. Richard Seymour also made the cut but is sick of stupid Pro.. err... is injured and could not make it to Hawaii for the tremedous honor. Shane Lechler, the modern day punting Jesus, represented us for the AFC team and, while I'm sure he did his job, must not have enjoyed getting whooped by the NFC all day long. If you didn't watch it (and who does?), it was 45-0 at one point. What does this all mean? Our boy Zach Miller must have not been a whole lotta help to Peyton Manning and Phillip Rivers. Rivers is, of course, just bitter, though. Miller was just a fill-in for Antonio Gates, but that guy's more of a slot WR than a true tight end anyways. I mean really, let's see the guy get his hand on the ground and block for once! He's always eight feet off the line bolting for the end zone. NOT a tight end, folks. A tight end blocks half the time, and the other half runs a slant up the middle of the field for no more than fifteen yards a carry. Give me a freakin' break... Now where was I?
Oh yeah, so eventually the AFC scored some points and everyone looked bored and, well, if you want to see how players truly look at this Game of Games (which incidentally was the most-watched ever at 14mil viewers), watch this:
Can't wait for Pro Bowl 2012? Well, you could always watch some highlight reels from Pro Bowls past. Shit's better than Ambien.
