Don’t worry if the game escaped your attention because you are not alone in ignoring what has become one of pro sport’s most meaningless all star games.

The Cleveland Browns will be represented by left tackle Joe Thomas, who was honored for the 10th consecutive year, breaking the franchise record of nine Pro Bowls that he had shared with Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Lou Groza.
