Rhodes made the Pro Bowl...seriously?  Kendricks should have been selected in the beginning...

Down year for CB's or they just all happen to be on the Chiefs and 49ers?

Not from The Onion

WTF? I thought sure this was just another one of your funny titles. He's going to get hammered for this on Twitter, adding to what was already an embarrassing year. 

But maybe it's a good thing for us...maybe it boosts his value in some artificial way. 3-time pro bowler, just 29 years old, we're not going release him, so give us a draft pick.

Alternates huh?  Feels a little underwhelming to me.

This just under-scores what a joke the pro-bowl is/has become...

Best player on the Vikings is Kendricks, our one All Pro.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins, fullback C.J. Ham, linebacker Eric Kendricks, defensive end Everson Griffen and cornerback Xavier Rhodes were officially added to the roster after four 49ers players withdrew due to the Super Bowl.
Cousins and Kendricks are injury replacements for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner. Griffen, Ham and Rhodes are Super Bowl replacements for San Francisco’s Nick Bosa, Kyle Juszczyk and Richard Sherman.
It’s the fourth Pro Bowl for Griffen (two as alternate), third for Rhodes (one as alternate), second for Cousins (two as alternate) and first for Ham and Kendricks.
Defensive end Danielle Hunter, safety Harrison Smith and running back Dalvin Cook were initially voted onto the NFC’s roster.
The Pro Bowl is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday in Orlando (ESPN).

If Styfanski can be off interviewing before the biggest game we had all year, surely the 49rs and KC players could take some time off to play in the Pro Bowl.☹️

Rhodes in Pro Bowl seals the deal...Pro Bowl is a complete joke.

Eh.... could enhance his next contract which may aid the Vikes in compensatory picks. Big picture....
