NFL Pro Bowl Roster 2013: Twitter Reacts to AFC and NFC Selections and Snubs

Tom Brady. Peyton Manning. Adrian Peterson.

All of those guys are obvious selections for the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl, but some worthy players were left off each conference's roster when the teams were announced on Wednesday.

With Wednesday's snubs and selections came reaction from the Twitter world. 

The players were bound to create controversy one way or another, even if it's just over who is going to be the starter at a certain position. Brady, Manning and Peterson won't cause any arguments, but the same can't be said for every player.

Of all the snubs, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is the worst. With 61 tackles, three forced fumbles and seven interceptions, he's arguably the best cover corner in the NFL. However, a pending suspension for PEDs is probably what did him in.

Let's take a look at what Twitter had to say and examine the complete roster for each conference.

Twitter Reaction

CBS Sports' Will Brinson spoke to the frequent complaints from fans:

"

Complain about Pro Bowl voting all you want: NFL fan choices still a billion times better than MLB or NBA.

— Will Brinson (@willbrinson) December 26, 2012"

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport mentions where to direct your anger if you're a disgruntled fan:

"

Have a problem with Pro Bowl voting results? Plenty of blame to go around: Votes shared by players, fans, and coaches #everyoneatfault

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 26, 2012"

NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal can't believe Richard Sherman wasn't selected:

"

Voters must have punished Sherman for PEDs before appeal heard. Insane he didn't make Pro Bowl per @albertbreer

— Gregg Rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) December 26, 2012"

Bleacher Report's Andrea Hangst makes a great point about Peyton Manning:

"

I don't think Peyton Manning could have an active year in the NFL and not make the Pro Bowl. He's a lock, for life. Especially w/ fan vote.

— Andrea Hangst (@FBALL_Andrea) December 26, 2012"

FOX Sports' Peter Schrager shows why most of us don't take Pro Bowl voting seriously:

"

Jeff Saturday was benched last week. He made the Pro Bowl today. Love this stuff.

— P. Schrager (@PSchrags) December 26, 2012"

ESPN's Kevin Seifert has had enough of the Pro Bowl:

"

Can we agree that the Pro Bowl format is just not a credible way of acknowledging the year's best players? Makes the next hour much easier.

— Kevin Seifert (@espn_nfcnblog) December 26, 2012"

The Macon Telegraph's Seth Emerson notes an interesting point about Blair Walsh:

"

K Blair Walsh named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie. Pretty good for a guy who last year at one point at Georgia was competing to keep his job.

— Seth Emerson (@SethEmerson) December 27, 2012"

Bleacher Report NFL lead writer Michael Schottey feels that more Vikings deserved some love:

"

Adrian Peterson making the Pro Bowl is a no-brainer. None of his linemen making it is criminal.

— Michael Schottey (@Schottey) December 27, 2012"

NFL.com reporter Daniel Jeremiah thinks the voting needs to change a bit:

"

I don't like the separation between FS and SS. Not much difference anymore. Have to be interchangeable..Pro Bowl should take 3 best guys

— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) December 27, 2012"
