One day after a shocking loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Randy Moss have announced they will not play in the Pro Bowl game in Honolulu on Feb. 10.

Brady, who was sacked five times in the Super Bowl, had been bothered by an anke injury since the Patriots' AFC Championship game vs. the San Diego Chargers. The Patriots have not disclosed a reason for Moss' absence from the annual all-star game. He was not listed on the Patriots injury report leading up to the Super Bowl.

Brady will be replaced by Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson, who joins five other Browns players on the AFC Pro Bowl roster. Moss will be replced by Cincinnati Bengals wideout Chad Johnson, joining Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster on Dec. 18. Together they become the first pair of Bengals WRs to be named to the Pro Bowl in the same season.

I can see a reason for Brady, but why Moss? And I'm certain had the Patriots won, both would be going to the Pro Bowl. It's a shame because it makes them look like sore losers.

Pro Bowl is so bad.

I think Moss might actually be in pain, and in recovery, and can't be bothered to play the Pro Bowl. Brady on the other hand, is just a sore loser.

the probowl should be one of those games that everybody looks forward to just like any other professional sport leage that has an allstar game, but for some odd reason nfl doesnt seem to care.

many MLB players care a lot if they make it or not to the allstar game but nfl players doesnt seem to care at all if they make since many top players just backout. is there something nfl isnt doing right?

some odd reason as much as i love football i find the probowl to be the most boring game ever compared to any other leages allstar games.

All due respect, but if you've played a sport for an entire season and went to the final game, chances are you're going to want to take all the recovery time you can get before getting ready for next season.

Agreed full heartedly.

Especially when the Pro Bowl doesn't mean anything to the team

Last I heard, Moss had some legal troubles in Florida. Maybe he wants to take time away from the game to resolve that.

But I don't really remember him participating in the Pro Bowl as a Viking either, even though he was voted in 5 times.

its a full contact sport, and injuries can end your career. they don't play 'hard' in the PB (allstar) game because it doesn't count for anything, so theres no use risking it. they need to find some new all-star angle.

Exactly, the game is meaningless so why risk injuries?

That last link talks about and injury effectively ended Robert Edward's career after going to the Pro Bowl as rookie, he never was 100% again.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
