Which Giants should be in Hawaii?
I don't know if I can say it's embarrassing for the NFL, but it sure is entertaining as hell that only one player from the Super Bowl champion Giants -- God, I love writing that -- will play in this weekend's Pro Bowl.
By the way, it looks like that player could be Michael Strahan. Apparently, Osi Umenyiora is sick and may be sent home. Strahan is the first alternate.
Anyway, if voters could get a do-over today, which Giants would be in Hawaii?
ESPN's Mike McAllister comes up with this list:
• Chris Snee, Eli Manning, Plaxico Burress, Madison Hedgecock and Justin Tuck. Add Strahan and Umenyiora to that list and I would think it would be pretty much on target.
Who would you guys add or subtract from that list? The Pro Bowl roster can be found here.

Forgive me for one subtraction.
How Plax was left out is still a mystery to me.

No mystery.
The League has to re-think the process for next year. At the very least, they should adopt MLB's practices of requiring at least one player from each team and letting the coaches pick the subs. This is ridiculous.

that's not right django
they haven't wont a playoff game in over a decade. their head coach hasn't won a playoff game in his career. their star player Terrell Owens has never won a Championship (the man cried for God's sake).
in the spirit of giving, let the cowboys fans have their pro bowl. it's the only chance they'll ever have to see their players suit up in the month of February.
have a heart django. after all, it is almost Valentine's Day.

I see your point.
So, yes, let the Cowboy fans have their Pro Bowl. At least we know then that there will be one media market where the game's ratings won't be running behind the Texas Hold Em tournament or whatever else is on Sunday afternoon.
p.s. - ETVal, great job this season. I'm looking forward to your Yankees blog. Time to give Eli a rest and start thinking about Joba.

The Pro Bowl....
Maybe they should change the Pro Bowl rules to flag and wear shorts and t-shirts.
Seriously though, maybe a skills contest would be safer for the players and more fun to watch. At least then nearly all the playes chosen show up.
