ProFootballTalk is reporting the Giants have placed RB Reuben Droughns on injured reserve, ending his season. They signed WR Derek Hagan to take his roster space. Hagan proceeded to drop the pen Giants GM Jerry Reese threw to him when inking the new two year contract he signed.

Steelers D is well represented at the Pro Bowl. Polamalu, Harrison & Farrior. Awesome group. Also, formerly from the Steelers, Hope & Porter. Nice to know we can throw away Pro Bowlers and still have the top D in the league.

Brett Favre made the Pro Bowl. What. The. F***.
Brett Favre, the country yokel that strung along an entire franchise and its fan base for five months with a "Will he or won't he?" drama, before stabbing them in the back and demanding to get out, made the Pro Bowl.
Brett Favre, responsible for 19 turnovers this season made the Pro Bowl. NINETEEN TURNOVERS. Seventeen interceptions and two fumbles lost (He's got ten overall fumbles, but eight have been recovered by the Jets). There are ten TEAMS in the NFL with 19 or less turnovers. Dolphins, Giants, Titans, Redskins, Colts, Falcons, Packers, Panthers, Chiefs and Jaguars have 19 turnovers or less.
And Brett Favre made the Pro Bowl. What the f*** is that all about?
Also, while I'm here despising Brett Favre, I might as well address this: Matt Cassel's father passed away last week, yet Cassel took the field and threw four touchdowns en route to a 49-26 blowout over the Raiders. It was barely mentioned on ESPN. Yet ESPN still jerks Favre off after his 2003 Monday Night performance after his father passed away, addressing it as one of the greatest feats in football history.
Brett Favre could throw a touchdown pass while shooting a puppy and ESPN would say that the puppy was asking for it, and Favre's athletic prowess will never be surpassed.

Also not just how does Favre go with his stats, but how do Cassel, and Rivers get passed up for favre and manning?It should be about stats not popularity or whos been good before.Rivers is the top qb in the AFC stat wise this year and he got snubbed.

Stats mean nothing. Hate him or not, Peyton Manning is one of the BEST 4th quarter comeback QBs in the league. I mean, hell, how many times have the Colts came back this season because of him? He's the reason they are in the playoff race. Now for Favre....yes, statistically he sucks, but I mean, look at the results of the Jets right now. Best playoff shot in a LONG time for the Jets. Make no mistake so many guys deserve to be in the Pro Bowl for the AFC QB slot instead of Favre. Cassel easily should've been there. The dude hasn't started since the playoffs of his senior year of high school, yet look at him. He easily was the QB that matured the most in just 1 season. I won't complain about Jay Cutler being in the Pro Bowl, and not just because I'm a Broncos fan, but because the dude is the Denver offense, and he has his own fair share of 4th quarter miracles this year.

Now for Favre....yes, statistically he sucks, but I mean, look at the results of the Jets right now. Best playoff shot in a LONG time for the Jets. Yes, but can you attribute the Jets turnaround to Favre? If anything, you could point the finger at Favre as to why the Jets record isn't BETTER. He threw multiple stupid interceptions that led to their loss in Oakland, his pick-six against the Chiefs almost cost them the game, his terrible play cost them in San Francisco, and he (and the team) got incredibly lucky against Buffalo this past Sunday. Now look at the guy they got rid of: Chad Pennington. He's taken the 1-15 Dolphins and turned them into a 9-5 division leader fighting for a playoff berth. He's thrown seven less touchdown passes than Favre, but he's also thrown eleven less interceptions. He's also lost ZERO fumbles this year. You have to wonder if Pennington was the Jets' quarterback how they'd be doing. Would they be 9-5 or better? I personally think they'd be better. Pennington doesn't throw any backbreaking interceptions, he just plays it straight. I think the Jets would probably be 10-4 or 11-3 sans Favre right now. He just KILLS them more than he saves them. The reason for the Jets turnaround is their suffocating run defense and a strong ground game. But if the Jets make the playoffs and make any noise in January, Brett Favre will get all the credit. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Favre finish in the top five in MVP voting, either. Good God, how I loathe Brett Favre.

Favre in the Pro-Bowl is a crime.
I like how people treat Pennington like he sucked in New York. He took the Jets to the playoffs, he was a Good QB. His issue was never skill or brains, it was that he was Injury Prone and behind a bad Offensive Line. That's a god awful combo.
Culter, Rivers, Cassel, Peyton, Collins, Pennington,Flaco (I can't spell his name).... THEN Bret.
I guarantee you put the same Favre Stats and Record on Pennington in New York this year, and he doesn't SNIFF the Pro Bowl.

He's also partly responsible for turning the Jets around from a completely sorry team into playoff contenders. Not saying he deserves the pro bowl this year (he's in off name alone). But let's not drag the man down like he completely sucks ass.

But let's not drag the man down like he completely sucks ass. Is he, though? Who would be better for the Jets right now, Favre, responsible for nineteen turnovers this season, or Chad Pennington, who has six turnovers this year? Favre is quarterbacking a team that went 5-11 last year to a 9-5 record, although let's be honest, he's cost them two or three games this year. Whereas Pennington took over a 1-15 team with no hope whatsoever, and has them in a three-way tie for first in the AFC East, fighting for a division championship. Like I said, the Jets turnaround can be attributed to run defense and a terrific ground game. Brett Favre has killed them more than he has saved them this season. And if the Jets get to the playoffs, it will probably be a back-breaking interception that costs them a win. Taking everything into account, among the sixteen starting QBs in the AFC, I'd say Favre is 10th behind Rivers, Pennington, Manning, Cutler, Cassel, Collins, Roethlisberger, Garrard and Flacco.

I would definitely have Rivers and Cassel in the Pro Bowl over Favre. Favre,while he may or may not be partly responsible for the Jets turnaround,just doesn't have very good numbers. Even though Pennington is having a good year,my conscience won't allow me to say he deserves in the Pro Bowl. I would feel dirty.

Hell, Cassel would've been my #2 guy after Peyton, then Rivers. Brett Favre wouldn't even be on my radar. He's been mdeiocre-to-awful this season. He does not deserve a Pro Bowl bid.
Just for the record, D-Will was robbed!

Yes, BRV, he is partly responsible for the Jets turn around. Part of a QB's job is to enspire his team, lead them, and make them think they can win. Pennington lost that in New York. The best thing Pennington did was get a change of scenery. It allowed him to start over and re-prove himself. Favre did the same thing for the Jets. The players were energized when he came to the team. The team has faith in themselves now.
It's no coincidence that the Packers were 13-3 last year and came so close to the Superbowl, and that the Jets sucked last year. Yet this year, that is completely flip flopped.
Like I said, I completely agree with you 100% about Favre not deserving the pro bowl this year. He doesn't. I'm just tired of people down playing what he brings to a team just because of some personal hatred of the guy. . I mean that in general by the way, not nessacarly you.

Now they just need to decide who's gonna wear the facepaint, and who's gonna have "facts" about them on the side of the screen. Ex: DeAngelo Williams always uses his turn signal.
