Let's Throw Around Some Pro Bowl Expectations
I like to use humor in my sports writing, and there really is no better joke than the Pro Bowl. Seriously, check this out.
Wanna here a joke? Pro Bowl. Hook, line, sinker, and punch line. Try it on your friends. It's pretty easy. Just, Pro Bowl. I'm a hit at parties, now. It's way better than my other joke about how Sallust may have left his archaic writing style in the geo-political oven a little too long resulting in a historical style that's a bit too "Crispus!" Hahahaha! Oh what a laugher.
But seriously, I used to think the Pro Bowl was a joke. Last year's was pretty, well, funny. When people complain that the NFL is taking out all the big hits from football, just tell them to watch the 2011 Pro Bowl. But this year? Well, this year, I am pretty excited about the Bowl of Professionals.
Why? The entire NFC roster is made up of 49ers. Seriously. Look it up in your gut. You know it to be true. I am particularly pumped that Justin Smith gets to play, though. The guy is a beast and doesn't get enough attention. I know that I just wrote a sentence which every single Niner fan has written the last couple of years; doesn't mean it's not true.
And here's the reason why you all should rec the crap out of this article: I could watch Andy Lee and David Akers kick the ball all day long. One more day this year for awesome Special Teams? Yeah, I'll take it.
What are all of your expectations for the Pro Bowl? Do share.

My expectation
A semi-football game will be played.
I remember when Marshall Faulk ran wild as a rookie (MVP). Pro Bowls were fun then.
Skills challenge
that is all I ever care about. That’s the only time they take it somewhat seriously.
Our d had so many good highlights this year someone should make a 2011-2012 video with hella good editing.
we just had too many big hit’s and interceptions to not make a video of it.
I know guys in the Pro Bowl don't usually go full speed
But I am guessing whoever lines up across from Smith will have to, because they’ll get embarrassed otherwise.
The thing is, even great players have quiet games during a season, or match up against someone just as good as they are from time to time. Even taking off my homer glasses, I literally don’t think I saw ANYONE handle J. Smith all season; the man was just a monster.

Does it make it less bad since he got it when the Niner's season was over?
Or is the season still technically going on since the Superbowl hasn’t occurred yet?

I hear "Pro Bowl" and I laugh.
It also reminds me of the scene in Lion King where hyenas are giving each other goosebumps by saying “Mufasa”, except it’s making them laugh.
Hyena 1: “Pro-Bowl”
Hyena 2: “Hahahahahaha! … Say it again.”
Hyena 1: “Proooooooo-Booooowwl!”
Hyena 2 dies laughing…
Who's got it better than Honey Badger? Honey Badger don't give a ....
Don't forget Brian Jennings!
One more day this year for awesome Special Teams? Yeah, I’ll take it.
Glad to see him get called in to go to Hawaii too. Just started listening to his radio bits on KNBR, he’s a funny guy. Like him a lot. We are lucky to have these three Specialists.

My expectations
are that it will, as usual, be the worst exhibition all star game known to man; I expect it to look like the 22 guys on the field would rather be doing something else; I expect the TV coverage to behave as if this game is worthy of our attention. I have not watched for years because these predictions kept coming to fruition
