If voting closed today, Nov. 19, 2008, 20 Redskins would be in the Pro Bowl.
ASHBURN, Va. -- If the Pro Bowl voting were to end right now, 20 Washington Redskins would be on their way to Hawaii.
Fans have responded in droves to an aggressive get-out-the-vote campaign conducted by one of the most market-savvy teams in the NFL. They've put virtually everyone in the lineup -- even those who haven't played much or have played well below Pro Bowl caliber -- ahead of the pack in the NFC.
The Redskins' campaign has been so effective that the NFL felt the need to raise the issue in an e-mail sent last week to the digital media departments of all 32 teams by George Scott, the league's general manager, club sites, at NFL Digital Media.
The e-mail says this would be a great weekend to promote Pro Bowl voting to fans.
