So that was a nice little week of people removing their caps and taking a knee before old Super Mario as they dined upon crow after comments made following his being selected #1 in the draft last year. The former ‘draft bust’ turned ‘rising superstar’ (pictured left asking what the hell else he needed to do) found himself on the business end of the NFL shaft again this week, though, when he failed to be named to the Pro Bowl team. Look, we know that here at Brahsome we pimp old Mario more than some people want us to. But, whatever. It’s our site, and we’ll pimp whatever we want to pimp. And we want to pimp Mario. What else does a guy have to do? 2nd in the league in sacks, more sacks in a game than former best DE in the league Juice Peppers has all year, more tackles than the 3 guys selected ahead on him in the AFC. Yeah, but Jason Taylor probably deserved it. I mean, his team is doing pretty well this year, right? At least we know that Mario is just scratching the surface. He’ll be in Hawaii next year fo sho, as long as he doesn’t wreck that Lamborghini.

I hadn’t seen the rosters yet, but that’s fucking ridiculous that Taylor made it over Williams. Still an old boys club just like the all-star games in the other sports. The Pro Bowl is the least watchable and it doesn’t really mean anything. On the other hand, you would like to get recognition from peers when you deserve it. Mario should be there. What a joke.
I don’t know how some people made the team…like Polumalu, who I love, but he was hurt too much. And Ray Lewis? Get out of here.
But I love your site. Glad to be part of the “link” group.
