And so it begins: The annual shuffling of Pro Bowl rosters because of injury and indifference. You know I'm not a big fan of what the event has become, but I realize that view isn't shared by many of you. So as usual, I'll do my best to track the comings and goings as best I can.

Thursday's news: Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway was added to the NFC roster after DeMarcus Ware of the Dallas Cowboys withdrew. Greenway, who finished third in the NFL with 148 tackles in the regular season, is the first Vikings linebacker to play in consecutive Pro Bowls since Scott Studwell in 1987-88.
