Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Chris Gronkowki is in 5th????? Does he even see the field if any FB from us makes it it better be Unrein
Yeah that one really confused me. I'm guessing it's because of the name? Guessing a lot of people voting don't recognize many fullbacks and chose Gronk because of the name

Reggie Wayne or Welker is my guess. DT should be in the ProBowl for sure, he's having a great year but I'd rather see him playing in New Orleans instead of Hawaii
Interesting how Manning is STILL widening his lead on Brady even amidst the Tom Brady media circus. Really man, people need to start doing what the media tells them if they ever want to learn how vote correctly.
Peyton Manning and Tom Brady lead 2013 Pro Bowl voting
Feels like old times doesn't it? Quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are the leading Pro Bowl vote-getters this season, the NFL announced Wednesday. Voting concludes Dec. 17.
Manning, who is having an MVP-caliber season in his first year with the Denver Broncos, is the top vote-getter, pulling in 823,372 votes thus far.
Brady, perhaps having an even better season for the Patriots, has garnered 746,710 votes from the public so far. Rounding out the top five are Texans running back Arian Foster (699,866), Vikings running back Adrian Peterson (668,942) and Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (652,807).
The rest of the top 10 is actually a bit of a surprise: Bengals wideout A.J. Green (563,954 votes), Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (545,514), Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III (537,459), Saints quarterback Drew Brees (500,193) and Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (477,087) round it out.
You can view the full vote-getters by each position here, and most of them aren't a huge surprise. A couple stood out, however, by their notable absence.
Lions wideout Calvin Johnson isn't the leading vote-getter at his position in the NFC (Victor Cruz of the Giants is) and isn't a top-two wideout on the list ... despite his very best efforts to hawk down Jerry Rice's single-season record for receiving yards. OK then.
Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins isn't on the list, with Haloti Ngata of the Ravens taking the defensive tackle spot for the AFC. No offense to Ngata, but that's laughable. Atkins has been a monster and would be leading any rational vote.
Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews, who hasn't played since Week 9, is the top vote-getter for NFC outside linebacker. Nine sacks in nine games is impressive, but it's not nearly as good as the NINETEEN (point five) sacks that 49ers pass-rushing monster Aldon Smith accumulated through 14 weeks.
The fans are in charge of voting, so things like this are to be expected. And all things told, it's a fairly decent list.
