Just got an update on Twitter. Edit: "#49ers RB Frank Gore has been named to the Pro Bowl. Gore was the 1st alternate behind Steven Jackson, who won't play because of injury." [ Edited by 49erFaithful on Jan 20, 2010 at 14:38:23 ]

I think its time the NFL just stops playing this meaningless game. Nobody wants to play in it, nobody watches it. They should just name the players and thats it. All these players that dont want to playing in it and then they have to name people that were not voted in just cheapens the whole honor.

It may be meaningless to some of us fans but I'm sure the players enojy it. It's a huge honor to be recognized as one of the best by the fans, other players, and the experts. Not to mention the fun that some of these guys have with other great athletes on the same team.

When you got QB's like Vince Young playing, it makes it a joke. Young only played like 10 games all year.

no, because Justin Smith was the biggest snub in pro bowl history. he MUST go.

all homerism aside, Smith statistically the BEST DE in the entire NFL this year. and he was left off the team. he didnt even get 1 single all-pro vote, which is lunacy.

after you look at the stats, youll flip out if he isnt playing in the pro bowl this year.

COngrats to the man. He had some great runs this year and still broke 1k missing a few games. Good job. I know the bar isn't really 1000 anymore but he did it 4 in a row. Can't turn down on a free ride inclusive to Hawaii and some extra loot.

Go Niners
