Good for him.

It's weird, I want him in the pro-bowl, yet I recognize it's a joke.
Man I'm a hypocrite.

Why is it a joke that he make the pro-bowl. He deserves it. :confused:

He def deserves it. But what I think he is saying is that the pro bowls as a whole is a joke and mainly how the players are picked.

I would not want another punter right now. Graham is definitely not a joke.
My apologies on being vague.
Graham is having a knock-out year and deserves the recognition and the monetary bonus for having a great year. In this case that means going to the pro-bowl.
But Shane put it better than I, the selection process is a joke. Fan voting in general isn't reliable, but ballot stuffing is pointless and cheapens the honor.
There are a couple of guys on the list who year after year get there on reputation and popularity, not on their actual contributions.

Big BQ!
WE know if Graham gets in it will be on merit!! BUT will he be able to play? If we are still in the PO"s, Whizz isn't going to let players take time off to play in the Pro Bowl is he??

The Pro Bowl is the week bedfore the Super Bowl, so if we are still in it, then we are in the big game again.

I don't believe any Super Bowl participants will be playing in the Pro Bowl. If it's even allowed by the league, no team would be dumb enough to let their players play in it.

I have never, ever seen a better punting performance this year. In fact, some here were trying to run him out of town last year.

There are thousands of young kids in Australia learning the art of kicking on a daily basis. Although only a small % have both the talent and the ability for the long roost, with the success of guys like Graham and McBriar, and Bennett in times past, I'm surprised more aren't trying to make the jump.
