PrintFooch's Note: I'm on my flight to Vegas but Virgin and Google are offering free wifi on all their flights until January 15. Good times! Anyways, the selection show is starting right now.
The NFL will be announcing the 2010 Pro Bowl teams today at 1pm 4pm on the NFL Network. The teams are determined by a combination of fan, player and coach voting (1/3 value each). At this point, Patrick Willis is the only 49er leading at his position. Mike Sando posted the top 5 totals at each position on offense and defense. The 49ers in the list include:
Frank Gore - 3rd among running backs, behind Adrian Peterson and Steven Jackson, but ahead of DeAngelo Williams and Michael Turner
Vernon Davis - 3rd among tight ends, behind Tony Gonzalez and Jeremy Shockey, but ahead of Jason Witten and Visanthe Shiancoe
It's not too surprising that Justin Smith and Aubrayo Franklin did not finish in the top 5 for their positions. They are respected around the league, so let's hope the players and coaches provide them with the necessary support.
I'm heading down to Las Vegas for a week so I won't have the official selections up until later tonight. In the meantime, feel free to discuss the selections here.

1pm, 4pm, makes a difference over here ...
… That’s the difference between 9pm and midnight. Damn, I stayed up past midnight all this season to see a bunch of poor performances (Falcons at home and Seahawks in Seattle ringing bells) and now I gotta stay up til it’s officially tomorrow to ensure P-Willy and VD make Hawaii? The things I do …

We salute you
And it’s not Hawaii.
They’re playing in Florida.
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Yeah I'm kind of impressed too
It does show the kind of respect Frank gets even after being sidelined for several weeks.
He deserves it
he’s got 1013 yards on the season after missing three games. If you prorate that out to 15 games that would put him at number 6 overall with fewer touches per game than the top 5 contenders.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will get picked in the first round.
Over 3 or Under 3????
i say we hit the 3 mark even…. what do you guys think? (my coworker says under 3)

Here is the link

Tim Tebow = 1,432,219 season tickets next year. Who wouldn't pick him in the 1st round with those projections?
Is there a link to watch the pro bowl selection show online?
49ers and TOOL live, my personal Heaven!!!
vd, willis,
How many times has Joe Montana thrown an interception in a super bowl?
i thought i saw andy lee also
anybody know for sure?
How many times has Joe Montana thrown an interception in a super bowl?
According to mattbarrows
Lee, Willis, VD are all going and starting.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will get picked in the first round.
how many make the pro bowl? +3 or -3
let me know….
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are"
VD and Bamm Bamm are starters.
Lee isn’t listed as one, but of course he’s the starting punter…
Adrian Peterson
He definitely doesn’t get in for his ball handling skills!
If the Vikings get into the SB I can see him sitting it out and Gore getting in as an alternate.
New Thread Open
I’m gonna close the comments here shortly.

Also, if there's a competition...
for most dedicated fan, based on time difference, I’d like to throw my hat in the ring as well – at least I’ll beat that London guy by an hour… ^^
