The Pro Bowl means the best players of this season correct? Which means performance on the field? Then HELL YES he should have gone. The man LEADS THE NFL IN TOUCHDOWN CATCHES and if im not mistaken your job as a receiver is to catch the ball and try and score. LoL I mean he is over 1000 yards once again, he has something like 77 catches which is up there with some of the top players. Yes he has dropped alot of balls, but 4-5 of them were in the first Dallas/Redskins game when he had a broken finger. He has dropped big passes like the second Dallas/Redskins game but who doesnt? We just saw Torry Holt 2 weeks ago have 3-4 drops in a game and he is the fastest player ever to 10000 yards, faster than Jerry Rice, Cris Carter, Lynn Swann, Steve Largent, ANYONE!!
The guy was 3rd in fan voting so its clear that the players and coaches kept him out of the pro bowl and its ashame. Its ashame that TO can get blasted for the things he does but yet the players/coaches are blasted for being jackasses and downright wrong. On the field there are not 4 receivers in the NFC that are better than him. Anquan Boldin and Donald Driver are not better than him. Everyone knows that, and his actions off the field should not play a part in whether he makes the pro bowl or not that is stupid. Its not the pro bowl of character, its performance and TO performs VERY well.
He was snubbed.
Whoever said he needs sensitivity training, you are an idiot. You cannot change a person by sending them to "sensitivity training", you will not chance his beliefs or actions that he's had for 33 years, he is TO and that is who he wants to be and you cannot change that so why continue fighting it? If you would quit "hating" and dwelling on the actions of TO off the field then the actions would never get talked about.....
Rich A, get a clue man Im a Cowboys fan as well and yes he has done ALOT of those things but so has practically every single football player that has ever went through the NFL, it just wasnt publicized as much as TO. You are naive to think players dont tune coaches out, or fall asleep. Is Michael Strahan a bad teammate for calling out Plaxico? Is Tiki a bad player for calling out his coaches and teammates? Peyton Manning is called a class act yet he whines and complains about a million things, he blames losses on the offensive line, he disregards a coach and runs a 4th down play rather than punt like what was called (playoffs last season), those are all sh*tty things to do but yet we dont get caught up in that. Get a clue and quit judging TO to a higher standard, he is a human and he makes mistakes its just the only difference is he doesnt give a f*ck what anyone thinks about it and why should he? TO WILL BE A COWBOY NEXT YEAR GUARANTEED!!! He has produced and Jerry Jones will not allow for any coach to run TO off, even if Bill Parcells says me or him, it will be "the player" that stays. And should be.....
Someone mentions its the PROFESSIONAL Pro Bowl...that just means PROFESSIONAL as far as the level he has made it to, not a professional attitude there genius. His attitude should have nothing to do with whether or not he makes it, its his play and again judging from his play he should without a doubt be in the damn pro bowl!!!!

First of all, I'm a Cowboys fan, and have been since 1961. TO should not make it to the Pro Bowl because he's #1 in dropped passes, he's got an unprofessional attitude, players don't like him, he's immature, he insults his coaches and teammates, accuses a certain teammate of being a "snitch", OD's on painkillers, he causes ill-advised penalties by over-celebrating like lying down in the endzone using the ball as a pillow, has admitted falling asleep in the film room then laughs about it and says the coach would have to give his speech all over again, then he spits in a very respectable defensive back's face (who DID make the Pro Bowl) and gets fined. He's a loose cannon. He's not what he used to be as far as his skills are concerned. He's paid huge bucks to score TD's. He should have 15 TD catches if he would concentrate. He'll be off the Cowboys next season, and that is really unfortunate. Imagine what he could really do if he was serious and mature about his business?!?
**The issue is TO--not Manning, or anyone else, or whatever. The guy has done it everywhere he's been. As far as falling asleep in meetings, yeah, it happens, but he should be a leader since he's been in the Super Bowl (& played great). We have alot of young players on the 'Boys. He could really be a great example and teammate. Other than that, it's only my opinion. Don't have a heart attack.

I think T.O. is a great reciever! the problem is in his personality. But hey! We all have are problems! Some have worse than others. But to the Pro Bowl? I dunno about that. But you cannot take the guy's talent away from him! If he would just be more poised and concentrate on what he needs to do to help his team rather than worry about hiself all the time he would even be better!

NO...the Pro bowl is for the Top Professional Athletes in the NFL...he may be one of the Top Athletes but a Professional he is not...Spitting on ppl..Name Calling..these are things that they should also consider when picking for the Pro Bowl...not Only the way you play on the field..but the way you conduct yourself Before, During, and After Games.

Going off of this last guys statement.
What do you all think when I tell someone "BE PROFESSIONAL" does that not imply attitude and performance. Its the WHOLE PACKAGE!
TO doesnt deserve to go because he doesnt deserve to play in the NFL. Hes now pissed off 2 teams in 2 years and its getting rediculous.
They arent letting him play for his own good. I hope it helps him to realize his error and the ammount of talent he is wasting on his immature antics to get on Sports Center.
Frankly im just tired of hearing about him and the pro bowl would have been 1 more thing.

its difficult to bypass antagonistic to Walter Peyton, besides the indisputable fact that the most unique participant of all time is Barry Sanders. he replaced into the basically reason to seem ahead to thanksgiving, that and dry turkey. inspite of him being out of the game for 5-6 years now, if he got here decrease back he will be more beneficial than 80 5% of the start rb's interior the league. i have no stats now, yet NFL videos has hours of compeling causes

Sure if there was a Pro Bowl for dropped passes, being a team headache, falling asleep in meetings and for throwing temper tantrums.

I don't even think T.O. should have made it in the NFL, yes he is good, but there ARE better players than him. His behavior is really showing the commision his true colors, i think he is over-hyped.

Yes. He leads the league in TD receptions. It's a shame that there's more said about his attitude than his ability, but that's politics for you! Granted, there are certain things that SHOULD keep a person from representing the best of the best in sport, but being an ****** isn't one of them! If he were a criminal of some sort, I could agree, but I digress..........
