It is time to get excited for the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl, which takes place at 7:00 PM EST! This is the official game thread that you can use as you witness two members of the Cleveland Browns, Joe Thomas and Alex Mack, block for some of the AFC's most elite players.

A word of caution though: SB Nation lists the Colts' Jeff Saturday as the starting center for the AFC team. Whether that is an assumption by them or a fact will be determined when the game kicks off. It might be accurate, because Mack was originally billed as a second alternate. My guess is that Saturday was the first alternate, and therefore would play first.
