5 Steelers named to 2008 Pro Bowl

Five Pittsburgh Steelers were voted to the 2008 Pro Bowl including two starters. *DCsteelerfanbyheart beat me to it in the diaries*

Starters:
OG Alan Faneca - seventh consecutive selection
LB James Harrison - well deserved first trip (even beat out Merriman)

Reserves:
RB Willie Parker - second trip
S Troy Polamalu - fourth straight trip
QB Ben Roethlisberger - it's about time Ben gets his first trip

Not that these selections mean anything to most people because it's a meaningless game that most of the guys drop out of anyways but it's nice to see a guy like James Harrison get some love from the voters. Congrats to all these guys and bring us back a T-shirt from Hawaii.

Here's some other guys who will be having fun on the island next Feruary:

Braylon Edwards
Jonathon Ogden (has he even play a whole game this year)
DeMarco Ryans (starter at ILB over Ray Ray)
Brett Farve (starter for the NFC squad)
Larry Fitzgerald (starter, really a starter?)
Adrian Peterson (of course the starter)
Patrick Willis (backup but still great season from the rookie)
Jared Allen (starter and a free agent in the offseason)

Kinda mad ..
.. to see that Champ Bailey is sucking it up yet still makes the Pro Bowl over Ike Taylor.

And Casey Hampton snubbed for Vince Wilfork was dumb.

Ike
I'd love to see the total votes broken down by position to see just how far down he was on the list. I also wonder how many people outside of Pittsburgh know who he is. CB who don't get thier hands on the ball don't get much press, no matter how 'shutdown' they are.
