"Long-snapper Jon Dorenbos became the seventh Eagle selected for this season's Pro Bowl yesterday, with at least one more pending - quarterback Donovan McNabb will officially join the NFC roster as the first alternate, after either New Orleans' Drew Brees or Minnesota's Brett Favre advances from the NFC title game to the Super Bowl.

Since the Pro Bowl is now being played the week before the Super Bowl, players from the two Super Bowl teams will not participate in the Pro Bowl.

"I'd gladly trade places with that guy," McNabb posted yesterday on his blog.

Fans might ponder why a team that is going to have at least eight Pro Bowlers (and keep your eye on second alternate Sheldon Brown, at cornerback, given the situation) was out of the postseason after the wild-card round. But that sticky question aside, it is a big honor for those involved."
