Pro Bowl

[RICHYD4U]

I watched about 5 minutes and had to change the channel. Just seemed like a silly scrimage game...I don't know just seemed like noone wanted to be there. Of course I only watched those few minutes. Anyone watching more of this?

Can you really blame the players for not wanting to go out there and play hard......then end up injured for a game that doesn't mean sqwat! The Pro Bowl just needs to be done away with all together. Pro football is too dangerous of a game to be playing an extra game with no purpose. These guys need to be at home, with their families, trying to recooperate from season of battery on their bodies. IMHO.

I suggested to my wife when we had the game on for a few minutes that they should change the game to the "not so pro bowl". Everyone would vote for who they thought stunk it up during the year. The ones that were selected would play against each other and the losers of the "not so pro bowl" should lose their contracts to play the following year. Bet they would be playing their arses off then.

Naw guess not....of course noone from the Colts would show up anyway. It is tough to play in the NFL for sure but these guys get paid to play in the pro Bowl (20K-40K) and it helps their resume'.

Maybe they should play flag football? Or PS3 Madden Pro Bowl?

I agree Rich. I would rather watch a high school freshman game than the pro bowl.

What would make it fun is if they:

a. Had the pros compete in competitions related to the positions they play, like weight lifting for line men, foot races for ends, safeties, back, and throwing contests for QB's.

b. How about in the same show, they play some basketball, AFC vs NFC.

C. Finish the whole thing off with a flag football game.
