As we pretty much expected (though it doesn't make it hurt any less), the Bengals were shutout from the Pro Bowl -- first time since 1998. Earlier we made the case that T.J. Houshmandzadeh would be our likeliest candidate, but though that would a stretch. He's by far the team's best player on the field this season on offense, and our defense, while solid at times, just doesn't have any consistent play-makers.
However, Houshmandzadeh was named as the second alternate.
