We wanted to improve our readers experience so we built a brand-spanking new site for ya'll to enjoy! Same writers, same stories, same old shit... just much, much better!

(Our Ombudsman hard at work)
We've only been around for a couple of months, so this list is skewed toward stories that happened later in the year, but it's still interesting to see what our readers found most interesting. Obviously, and without bias, Tiger Woods dominated traffic, taking 4 out of the top 5 spots. We can't imagine how well TMZ.com is doing because of Tiger's infidelity! It's also clear that our loyal readers enjoy beautiful women and alcohol, which is a great sign because that is the demographic we're going after! With that said we are glad that John Wooden made this list because although that post isn't sexy, Wooden is a sports icon and role model we can all learn from.
We hope you enjoy revisiting the top posts from 2009 and look forward to having you follow us in 2010 because we have big plans to become bigger and better! From all of the freelance writers that The Daily Bore we wish you a Happy New Year!
And stay tuned in January because we have some big news for everyone...

If you want to see who made the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl you can click here to see the entire list here (Complete 2010 Pro Bowl Roster - NFL.com). However, we don't have the time, or really care enough to write about who didmake the Pro Bowl, we're more interested in who didn't make the Pro Bowl.
First of all, not one player from the AFC North Champion Cincinnati Bengals was selected, yet most of the teams they beat have 2 or more players. Hell, even the Browns have 2 Pro Bowlers! (Joshua Cribbs - KR and Joe Thomas - OT). Sure, Carson Palmer didn't have a huge year, and Ochocinco has made more news on the sidelines than on the field, but what about Cedric Benson? Benson is 5th in the AFC in total rushing even though he's missed a couple of games with minor injuries. Benson has carried the Bengals offense all season and led them to the playoffs after one of the biggest turnarounds in league history. But he's not a Pro Bowler?
How about Ben Roethlisberger? He's thrown for over 4,000 yards this season and seems to find ways to win games for Pittsburgh by himself. Don't Pro Bowl voters consider winning and what the guy does to help his team throughout the season in addition to stats? Willie Parker and Troy Polamalu have been hurt all season and the Steelers are still in the hunt thanks to Big Ben. Sure, it's hard to argue he's more deserving than Manning, Brady or Rivers, but it's worth bringing up. There's a good chance one of those quarterbacks will be in the Super Bowl this year so Big Ben might get invited to the Pro Bowl as an alternate after all.
Which brings us to our final point. What is the deal with playing the Pro Bowl the week before the Super Bowl? I like that they moved the game to Miami to change up the scenery, but how fun will it be to watch just some of the NFL's best players? I can't imagine the Pro Bowl being the same without Manning or Brady or Favre. Just imagine if the Colts play the Vikings in the Super Bowl (that would be awesome) then 14 Pro Bowlers won't actually be at the Pro Bowl!
Roger Goodell has done a tremendous job with discipline and rules, but he needs a crash course in marketing and scheduling. What's the point of going to the Pro Bowl if the real Pro Bowl (the Super Bowl) is the next Sunday?
