Mannings make Pro Bowl

Peyton and Eli Manning have become the first quarterback-playing brothers to make the Pro Bowl together.

Seven Jets heading to Hawaii

Peyton and Eli Manning have been voted into the Pro Bowl, the first quarterback-playing brothers to be chosen together for the NFL all-star game. The annual fixture between the cream of the AFC and NFC will take place in Honolulu on February 8, one week after the the Super Bowl. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was voted as the AFC starter, while his younger brother Eli is a back-up for NFC starter Kurt Warner. "It should be fun," said the younger Manning after learning of his debut selection. "He (Peyton) has been before and I have heard the stories about what a great time it is and what a neat experience it is, so I am looking forward to enjoying that. "Peyton has invited me before, but I wanted to go when I made it on my own." The New York Jets are sending seven players to the showpiece fixture, while the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans each have six players included.
