Every team has 10 or 11 games left to play and the fact that ballots are even open shows what a joke of an "all-star" game the NFL has. Case in point - 13 Cowboys made it last year because they're a popular team.

Kind of like the way nearly the entire AL starting lineup in the MLB All-Star game is usually Yankees and Red Sox, despite there always being much more deserving players. Fans drive revenue, therefore they get to vote, but IMO it takes credit away from deserving players, and takes credibility away from the "all-star" or "pro-bowl" label.

I'll vote for the Redskins players because I love 'em, but that doesn't mean it isn't stupid.
