Re-posted, as New England ^^ indicator
for 2nd-team Guard Logan Mankins was
mistakenly left off of previous post. Of
interest, the 2 Cowboys All-Pro OL +
the Cowboys All-Pro tight end + the
3 Patriots All-Pro OL make for a com-
plete offensive line.

Your post is rather vague. Did anyone care
that the ^^ indicator for 2nd-team Guard
Logan Mankins was mistakenly left off
of previous post, did anyone care about
the AP All-Pro players, did anyone care
about the New England and/or Cowboys
All-Pro players (the -2- teams with both
home field advantage -and- with the most
All-Pro players)?

Well, obviously, I cared but as for anyone
else, don't know, can't say. I suspect that
the players (and their friend & families
& fans) that made the All-Pro team care
(or, in Sean Taylor's case, that his friends
& family & fans care).

As for players that failed to make the team,
and fans of teams with modest or no players
on the team, I suspect their interest is signif-
icantly less than that of New England and
Dallas (and other teams with multiple
players).

That's right.
