Here is your Pro Bowl time, Pro Bowl TV channel schedule, and roster. Pro Bowl Time for AFC vs NFC action is just a few hours away.
The game is January 31 at Dolphin Stadium in South Florida. The location is the same as Super Bowl XLIV, just one week earlier.
The 2010 NFL Bowl roster features Colts offense Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, and Jeff Saturday (backup) with Colts defense Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis.
Favre for the season is 338 for 500 with a 68% completion rate (his best completion rate ever in his career) with 3886 yards and 29 TDs, 7 INTs (lowest number ever in his career).
Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has been announced as Drew Brees’ replacement. This McNabb’s sixth Pro Bow. McNabb has delivered this season 22 TDs, 10 INTs, and 3533 yards.
McNabb sparked the Eagles to an 11-5 season and a first-round playoff loss to Dallas. He threw for 3,553 yards and 22 touchdowns with 10 interceptions over 14 games.
Also joining the NFC lineup for the annual meeting with the American Conference was Eagles strong safety Quintin Mikell, who replaced the Saints’ Roman Harper. Mikell’s first Pro Bowl trip gives the Eagles nine players in the game.
The Minnesota Vikings have more players on the 2010 list than any other team with 8.
The Vikings’ 8 are Heath Farwell, Bryant McKinnie, Sidney Rice, Jared Allen, Brett Favre, Steve Hutchison, Adrian Peterson and Kevin Wiliams.
Start time for the 2010 Pro Bowl is from a location not seen in over 20 years.
Miami!
But the League says Hawaii, the home of the Pro Bowl every year since 1980, except this one, will still receive its annual donations.
Says NFL.com:
“The league has announced 19 island nonprofit organizations will benefit from $100,000 as part of the long-standing NFL Charities Pro Bowl Grant Program. The recipients include the Hawaii Children’s Cancer Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Maui, Girl Scouts of Hawaii, Hospice of Kona Inc. and Special Olympics Hawaii.
“For more than a decade, NFL Charities has provided grants to Hawaii-based groups focused on youth education, health and physical fitness. After being play in Honolulu since 1980, the Pro Bowl is scheduled for Sunday in Miami. The all-star game is set to return to Hawaii in 2011 and 2012.”
What time is the game on? AFC faces NFC at 7:30 PM ET 4:30 PM PST on ESPN from Sun Life Stadium.
Meantime, Minnesota Vikings OT Bryant McKinnie is out, dismissed for unexcused absences, failing to show to Friday and Saturday practices.
McKinnie issued a text to the Minneapolis Star Tribune yesterday which claims he withdrew because of injury.
“Body is hurting [too] bad and I talked [to] the trainer last night. Been having problems with my feet and was really trying [to] decide if I would be able [to] play. I decided I didn’t wanna play, so I reached out [to] my agent, told him and he had the trainer give me a call and I described the pain I was feeling. Didn’t get a chance [to] meet up with the trainer.”
McKinnie will not get his Pro Bowl check. How much do they get paid? $22,500 for being on the loosing team, and $45,000 for the winning team!
