...has been named to the Pro Bowl to replace Peyton Manning, who can't play because his team is in the Super Bowl.
David Garrard?!?!
I know Brady, Rivers and Big Ben are not available so you have to reach down a bit. But David Garrard? Over Joe Flacco? Over Orton and Palmer? Unless these three all declined the invitation, wow Garrard's not even in the upper HALF of starting QBs.

<< <i>Just another reason why the Pro Bowl should be abolished. >>
At least in the past, you had (a) most players accepting the all-expenses paid week in Hawaii and (b) Super Bowl-bound players could play. These days the players are probably looking at a weekend in Miami and deciding to pass. (Like I said -- I haven't heard, but unless you had all of Flacco, Orton and Palmer decline an invitation, you're on crack picking Garrard. And you have to get all the way down to Garrard to find "all-stars", there's no hope.)
Perhaps it's time to admit that the stakes have become too high to risk injury in an exhibition game, the money has become too big for the players to care and the teams have too much invested to want to see their players take the field in a meaningless game.

If only we could fast forward to that day...
