Eddie Lacy's Pro Bowl Numbers

I don't know if you guys saw it, but Sunday's Pro Bowl was actually kind of legit. I mean, it was still a complete waste of the fans' and the players' time, but in the end, the QBs did throw, the defenders did tackle (one Chiefs guy even violently tackled another), and the coaches did coach. So yea, while it wasn't the best game ever, I guess I can call it watchable. 

Anyway, the only Packer who played in the game was RB Eddie Lacy, who had 7 carries for a total of 14 yards. Now those numbers aren't too great, but it was just the Pro Bowl, remember? It doesn't matter.

Packers RB Lacy named to Pro Bowl Roster

Due to the fact that Vikings RB Adrian Peterson is currently injured, rookie Packers RB Eddie Lacy been put on the Pro Bowl roster to replace him, the league announced yesterday. Lacy, who rushed for 1178 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, probably deserved an actual spot in the meaningless game, but I guess this is just as good. 

Anyway, from what I've heard, no other Packers are expected to be bought in as fill-ins, so unfortunetally, #27'll probably be the only guy wearing a Green and Gold helmet later this month in Hawaii. But hey, at least somebody is. 

Packers shut out of Pro Bowl for first time since 2005

Earlier this weekend, this year's Pro Bowlers were quietly announced, with the Packers not getting any of their players selected for the first time since 2005. Now I guess that's not surprising, seeing as playmakers Aaron Rodgers, Jermichael Finley, and Randall Cobb have all missed a lot of time this season, but still, you'd think they'd get somebody on due to their popularity. 

Take baseball for example. Derek Jeter, in recent seasons, hasn't done anything meaningful for the Yankees, yet every year gets the most votes to play shortstop for the AL team. So yea, why wasn't Rodgers voted on? He's considered a super star, isn't he?
