Rams report, 12/27: No Rams in Pro Bowl

* Wednesday injury report: Cortland Finnegan (thigh), Steven Jackson, James Laurinaitis (back) and Scott Wells (knee) did not practice Wednesday. No earthshaking surprises there. Craig Dahl was limited, which is fitting, since Craig Dahl IS limited. NFL.com listed Austin Pettis as a full participant but I'm not sure why they went to the trouble.

Notable Seahawks who did not practice Wednesday:
Marshawn Lynch (back), Sidney Rice (knee), along with Red Bryant, Leroy Hill and Breno Giacomini.

* No Rams were named to this year's Pro Bowl. In fact, Nick Wagoner reports that no Rams were even named first or second alternates. That's kind of bull, considering James Laurinaitis is 3rd in the NFC in tackles or that Janoris Jenkins leads the whole fricking league in defensive TDs. Or when the 2-13 Chiefs have FIVE players heading to Hawaii.

Frank Gore was the 3rd RB behind Peterson and Lynch, not that I would have picked him. Blair Walsh was in fact picked to be the NFC's kicker.

Buffalo, Carolina, Jacksonville, Oakland, Philadelphia, San Diego and Tennessee join the Rams in having no rooting interest in this year's game. Hmm, let's make a "No Bowl" roster from just those teams...

QB - Cam Newton, Phillip Rivers, Sam Bradford. Alarmingly, Bradford's only in because Carson Palmer's hurt. Even more alarmingly - did you know Bradford has a lower passer rating this season than Tim Tebow?
RB - Chris Johnson, C.J. Spiller, Steven Jackson.
FB - Marcel Reece
WR - Steve Johnson, Steve Smith, Jeremy Maclin, Kendall Wright
TE - Brandon Myers, Greg Olson
OT  - Jordan Gross, Jared Veldheer, and Michael Roos, though Roos just apologized for his team's "crappy" 55-7 loss at Green Bay on Twitter.
OG - Andy Levitre, Evan Mathis, and I guess Mike Brisiel. Harvey Dahl had a spot if he hadn't been injured.
C  - Beats me after Eric Wood. I went with Stefen Wisniewski.

DE  - Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, Chris Long
DT  - Kyle Williams, Jurrell Casey, Fletcher Cox. Michael Brockers and Marcel Dareus in a dogfight for first alternate. And Brockers has been playing with a high ankle sprain all season.
OLB  - Mario Williams, Thomas Davis, Jo-Lonn Dunbar. All right, I moved Mario to OLB to get Chris Long on the roster. So sue me.
ILB - James Laurinaitis, Luke Kuechly
CB  - Cortland Finnegan, Janoris Jenkins, Chris Gamble
FS  - Jairus Byrd, Eric Weddle
SS - Quintin Mikell. I'd have said George Wilson had he not dropped 2 INTs late in Buffalo's loss to the Rams.
P - Bryan Anger
PK - Sebastian Janikowski. Sorry, Legatron.
KR - Leodis McKelvin
ST - Jon Condo

Head coach - Jeff Fisher, who else? He could be the only coach from these eight teams who returns to his job next year.
