Seymour Pats' only Pro Bowl selection

FOXBORO -- The Patriots have only one Pro Bowl player for the first time in six years. Even two-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady was left out despite his strong season and his team's 10-4 record that leads the AFC East.

New England's quarterback doesn't mind, especially if he can spend the day of the game reveling in more Super Bowl accomplishments from the previous weekend while the stars get some exercise in the Feb. 10 exhibition in Honolulu.

"I think this team cares about one bowl," Brady said Wednesday, "and it certainly isn't the Pro Bowl."

The only Patriot chosen for the AFC team announced Tuesday is defensive end Richard Seymour. He was picked for the fifth consecutive season, while Brady's two-year streak ended.

The Patriots have the fewest Pro Bowl selections of the seven teams with records of 9-5 or better. Even Oakland (2-12) had one player chosen.
