Others brought one-liners.
If you ever think you're bad at your job, just remember, Andy Dalton was just named to the Pro Bowl

You get the point.
Even his teammates seemed upset and thought Joe deserved it more.
But don't worry. It seems that Joe turned down the chance to play in the Pro-Bowl.
Joe Flacco did get opportunity to play in Pro Bowl. He turned it down. His wife, Dana, is pregnant w/couple's third child. Due this month.
