Osi Umenyiora in the 2008 Pro Bowl
In the Pregame, Osi Umenyiora was asked if it soaked in yet that he is a World Champion, and of course he said yes. Umenyiora said he didn’t go to the parade because the travel would have been ridiculous. Osi said he shed some tears from a far, but he was with his team.

Pro Bowl MVP: Adrian Peterson
As I watched the game, Osi Umenyiora didn’t do anything really. He had the penalty early on, and that was it until he got the sack and forced fumble on the final drive by the AFC. It was all on one play.
