Players, of course, are also likely to have an opinion. However, most players aren't as open about their frustration as Antrel Rolle.
The New York Giants safety took to Twitter on Friday night to protest his omission from the roster.
Rolle tweeted, "Tell me which safety has better numbers and made more game changing plays than me this year???? I'll wait!!!! This Pro Bowl (expletive) is a joke."

Rolle then retweeted a graphic of his stats next to those of Eric Berry, Kam Chancellor and Troy Polamalu -- presumably men he feels he should have gotten in ahead of.

Oddly enough, no players from either of the two football teams who play at MetLife Stadium made the Pro Bowl.
