Saw them mention this on ATH and SC today. Rory is getting recognition I hated them saying how fans should not be allowed to vote. I thought that is what All-Star games were about. If any major sport does that, it will just be wrong.

If any major sport does that, it will just be wrong. This is exactly what it's about though, showing the flaws in fan voting.

I personally don't care who gets in (most years, obviously everyone wants Rory in this year) as long as they are in because of their production. I think it's crappy that some guys, Chris Chelios being a name i'm gonna throw out, getting in on name-recognition rather than actual production. But that's just me.

Look, I said I was just throwing a name out there. I didn't look any of this crap up but I damn sure know there's at least a handful of guys who make the NHL all-star game because of their name.

There's a handful of guys who are all-stars every year in EVERY sport based on their name, and that's why fan voting annoys me.
Fans should still be able to vote, but not have the final say, maybe like factor it in with coach and player voting somehow, cause there will be people out there who vote for only people from their team when maybe all but one of them don't deserve it.
Hopefully the NHL and other sports recognize the flaws and realize that all it takes is a determined group of people who can spread the word to get a nobody voted in.

Basically, it comes down to this. Do you want a game with all of the best players or a game with good players you picked for your own reasons? I look at it like this. I can have an all-star game with guys like TO type players or have one with guys like Chad Johnson.

No I am also and I gotta say, if Chad Johnson didn't make the Pro Bowl it'd be a travesty not just because of his entertainment but because he's an amazing athlete and the numbers show.

How did this thread turn into a discussion about Chad Johnson?
He doesn't have the attitude of TO, but he's just as flamboyant.
Back to Rory. Please.
