Hall of Famers Chris Carter and Michael Irvin chose sides for Sunday’s Pro Bowl.

Quarterback Andrew Luck of Indianapolis went No. 1 to Team Carter. Irvin chose Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo as No. 2.  They were the only two quarterbacks left from the original Pro Bowl roster. The other six bowed out, which opened up a spot for the Lions’ Matthew Stafford. The other Lions at the game will be Golden Tate, Calvin Johnson, Glover Quin and Ndamukong Suh, but Johnson won’t play.  The NFL scrapped its AFC vs. NFC format and went to the current system a year ago. The game is being played for one year in Glendale, Arizona, site of next week's Super Bowl, and will return to Hawaii next season.
