Tonight the NFL announced their rosters for their annual sleep-aid the Pro Bowl, which will be played the week before the Super Bowl (meaning a host of these players could be prepping for that "winner takes all ratings dynamo" as opposed to this "pointless shit-fest"). The Denver Broncos led all teams when it came to representation with nine players chosen. They were highlighted by Peyton Manning who was picked for the 14th time in his career (meaning these were obviously chosen before last night). Just like last year the 86 players selected will then be chosen from a pool by two former players/captains (Michael Irvin and Cris Carter). Here's a list of the names of all 86 players you won't be watching during the NFL's penultimate weekend:
