Entire NFC South Snubbed for the Pro Bowl

In the argument of which division is the worst in the NFL, we've got a pretty clear argument that the NFC South is the worst of the worst. When the Pro Bowl rosters were announced, not one player from an NFC South team was honored. Hey, the NFC West may be bad, but it did place eight players in the Pro Bowl. The NFL effectively announced today that the NFC South is devoid of stars.

It's hard to really argue that any Falcon was "snubbed." With a season this disastrous no one deserves to be honored. Alge Crumpler has been a frequent Pro Bowler in the past, but he really didn't deserve a spot this year. DeAngelo Hall's meltdown against the Panthers probably ensured that he would get the chance to stay home and Roddy White might have had a breakout season, but it's tough to make the Pro Bowl in the NFC at wide receiver.

In fact that really is one of the cool things about the Pro Bowl. While other all-star games (like baseball's) force a member of every team onto the roster, whether they deserve it or not, the Pro Bowl is all about who deserves to go--so if your team stinks, you have to wear the shame of no Pro Bowlers like a scarlett letter.
