Okay, so it's the Pro Bowl and not too many people care (actually, hardly anyone cares), but Andy Reid is coaching this time around and that means we're going to be having fun in the sun in Hawaii! Andy Reid coaching a bunch of all stars always results in some sort of entertainment. Why? Because it's Andy Reid and it's so easy to make fun of him, especially when the game means nothing.

And just because I'm sure that pretty much everyone has forgotten who all is in the Pro Bowl, here is a run down of everyone that we will be seeing in Honolulu. First off, for the NFC, coached by none other than everyone's favorite challenge-wasting, useless timeout calling coach, Andy Reid!

Wait a minute.....there's a Seahawk in the Pro Bowl? Holy Hell! I can't figure out for the life of me though why on earth no one from the Detroit Lions is in it. Weren't they perfect this year?

And now let's move onto the AFC. They will be coached by a disciple of everyone's favorite challenge wasting, useless timeout calling coach, John Harbaugh!

Quarterback: Peyton Manning (Colts), Jay Cutler (Broncos), Kerry Collins (Titans)
Running Back: Thomas Jones (Jets), Ronnie Brown (Dolphins), Marshawn Lynch (Bills)
Fullback: Le'Ron McClain

Punter: Shane Lechler (Raiders)
Kicker: Stephen Gostkowski (Patriots)
Kick Returner: Leon Washington (Jets)
Special Teamer: Brendon Ayanbadejo (Ravens)
Long Snapper: Ryan Portland (Browns)

Prediction: The AFC looks like it has the better defense of the two teams, but there is definitley a dropoff at quarterback depth after Peyton Manning leaves the field. The NFC's QBs all have really good arms and even though that AFC secondary consists of two men that are often mistaken for God, in a game that is all about offense, the NFC has the edge over the AFC, and they will beat them by a score of 34-23.
