Most hyped in the NFL or on our team? I'm not sure either would be accurate. Expectations were raised for Teddy but I don't think he was "the most hyped player." Being a second-year quarterback a year after being drafted in the first round is going to naturally have a set of expectations associated to him. And while Teddy bares some responsibility he wasn't the only problem with the offense. To place blame on Teddy alone for not getting to the NFC Championship seems a bit harsh and out of touch. Unless you think he should take some strange responsibility for Blair's missed kick.

I look at it this way, some people wanted ups to draft Johnny Football. I'l be happy with Bridgewater for a year or two more. At least I know he's not out getting drunk. :pour:

It'd get in the way of his gospel choir rehearsal.

Only pro bowl thread I could find. Think the title of this thread should be changed to "What??? ______ to the Pro Bowl?"

Anyway, not much in this article but it does show a little of what this trip means to some.

Griffen mic'd up at the Pro Bowl



To tell the truth, I was more excited about the pro bowl than I am for this weeks game. There are no Vikings playing this Sunday.
