Mell-o's All-Pro List

"I got two words for you: Let's make this s*** happen."

Alright gang, I was going to save this for another time, but after re-reading the Pro Bowl entries over again, I started to question the logic of a couple moves. Granted, most of them will probably be rectified through injuries or no-shows, allowing "alternates" to get in there. Anyway, as an added bonus, I'm doing every sport. That's right, all of them. This way, we can cover a lot of ground ya know? Ok, first of all, basketball and hockey are, of course, only halfway through their respective seasons, so I will also be drawing back from last year on some of those players. All right, another first for the blog. I love how basically anything I do on this is new. Kind of exciting. See what works and what sucks. Hopefully this will be the prior and not the latter.
