LOL! good for him though. who cares? its just the pro bowl

Supposedly, McKinnie himself cared enough to openly campaign for the honor. Guessing the other players might not be in the mood to vote for him again ...

He didn't belong on it anyways. He is slightly above average LT who gets to play next to the best guard in the NFL.

Not only that, but the NFC LT pool is the shallowest it's been in decades, what with Walter Jones and Jammal Brown not playing this year, Chris Samuels and Jordan Gross getting injured early, and Chad Clifton and Flozell Adams in decline.

Maybe he has a bonus clause in his contract for making the all-star team?

Most players do. That's why the Pro Bowl has become a joke.

Most players have a financial incentive in their contract that kicks in if they get named to the pro bowl. It's not an insignificant about and I've heard numbers in the $200,000 range.

 

I doubt he'll get paid now......LOL.

Get the lawyers ready someone is going to arbitration. I wonder if the union attorneys will sneer at their idiot client? LOL

And to think that but for a Donahoe brain fart he could have been in Miami representing The Bills.

Debatable. As Doc pointed out, NFC tackles were a mediocre lot this season. The top four vote-getters on the AP All-Pro team were all from the AFC (Ryan Clady, Joe Thomas, Michael Roos, and Jake Long).

 

But if you're looking for a Bills connection, McKinnie was tied for seventh on that list with Michael Oher, who they could have drafted last year, and one vote behind Jason Peters, who they could have kept ...

Exactly. I think he is way overrated and the beating up of the Bills for taking Mike Williams is unwarranted.

humm so the braintrust of DJ and Brandon A. got rid of a probowl LT and B. failed to draft a guy that could have been a probowler?

 

Please God...let the entire thing be turned over to Nix and senile old Ralph and his buddy Russ Smithers stay the hell out of it!

I was under the impression that the Pro Bowl was the showcase for slightly above average LTs.

This is a great point. McKinnie might, in fact, have merited the selection. Sometimes it's about having guys that suck less than their peers at the position.
