I'm not suprised that Brady is bowing out, and I would do the same of I were him. By all indications, the guy played in the super bowl banged up, and took an even worse beating during the game. The only thing he cares about right now is recovery, and leading his team to the super bowl again next year. Thats the point of being a player on an NFL team. With his record breaking season, he has given football fans more than enough to cheer about, and I don't think missing the pro bowl is going to make too much of a difference.
