Didn't catch that part at all. I was half watching it and texting/talking on the phone.

Trick plays don't usually work in the NFL. For the Wildcat, it's more the formation than the actual trickery.

Hey MT is that Specnatz in you sig? It sure looks like him !

**mexican_texan** · 02-09-2009

No, it's Winston.

ESPN is going out of its way to not give OD any credit. On the highlights, they showed a 15 yard pass to Fitzgerald, but not Owen's score. On the ticker at the bottom, they're only showing NFC stats

One of the three Texans in attendance at the Pro Bowl is tight end Owen Daniels, who caught 70 passes for 862 yards, both career highs, in the league’s third-best offense. Daniels is a one of the league’s best third-down threats

Well here's a nice little story about ODs PB experience from an unlikely source - a Detroit Lions website.

Waiting for Kays pic's!

**HOU-TEX** · 02-09-2009

Why do they not have the Skills Competition any more? WTF! That was the only thing worth watching during Pro Bowl weekend.

They say logistical problems. I say Robert Edwards.

I looked and looked and looked and got fooled by footage from past years. Very upset they didn't air pretty much everything from HI. We figured it out when we saw Tiffany dancing.

Half the fun is watching the current players and olders timers interact with each other.

Mario looks thrilled! LOL

Htownsportsfan · 02-09-2009

I saw the guys around the HHV quite a bit and talked to AJ for a few minutes. As it turns out all of the D-line were on my flight out last night, all were in coach except Mario. TJ was pretty damn funny, he got on the intercom before we took off and announced that Mario Williams aka Super Jet was going to need to exchnage his first class seat with Travis Johnsons seat in 44f. Seeing TJ and ND et al in the back of the plane made me wonder if the damn thing was going to get airborne! I took a ton of pictured frommy seats on the 45 yd line but it turns out the front row at aloha stadium is so low most of my pics are of players on the sideline. I am sprting them now and will post a link to shutter fly etc for the pics. I took so many abnd they areso large I dont think I can post any of them here.

He looks like he'd rather be driving his Lambo, or anything for that matter.

You can check out the unedited photos here.

The Pro Bowl experience is very different for each player. T. Suggs was dancing and having a big time by the HHV pool along with a lot of other players. When I asked AJ about the experience while I was getting a few photos etc he said it was an honor but indicated he was not having the best time in Hawaii. He did not elaborate but for those who like the limelight and partying in the open in full view of the fans etc it seems like the ultimate party. However for those who are a bit more reserved and laid back it can be a bit obnoxious. The number of pro authograph seekers around the village, the game and even the airport seem to ruin the experience for some of the players.

Your expression in the first picture is hilarious. Did AJ smell or something? I am surprised at how empty the stands were. It didn't look that bad on TV.

REP for pics.

**Buffi2** · 02-09-2009

Nice Pictures! Thanks a bunch - almost as good as being there......well, not quite but still fun to see. Rep coming your way.

LOL we are luck that picture ever happened. I had been shooting photos with my SLR for a week in Maui and like a dumb ass didnt charge the batteries before we left for Oahu. I handed the camera to my wife to take the picture with AJ and since we needed the flash (external flash was in the room, Brilliant) the damn thing shut down at least three times. We must have posed for a good minute and a half, it got ackward/embarrassing! I damn neear just walked away, instead I apologize about 50 times and the camera finally took while we were just kind of standng there. I didnt have the guts to ask for the poor guy to wait on my ill prepared ass any longer, so the picture is what it is. At least now I have a photo showing me the face I make when I am stressed and embarrassed at the same time! I felt like a complete tool, priceless!

Were you wearing a white Mario jersey?

Edit: just saw the end of it, you were. You were on TV for a while during an interview. You got more TV time than OD
