Maybe if Bill Ford cared enough about the Lions he would hire Shanahan, give him unlimited powers and a guaranteed iron-clad, multi-year, no-matter-what, big-bucks contract, Detroit might reach real-NFL status!
Nah! I'm dreaming . . .
If he *really* cared Ford would sell the team to Rush Limbaugh. :-)
They’re trying to get people to actually watch the pro-bowl. It’s the least interesting all star game in professional sports and gets ratings somewhere in cable access numbers. Of course now nobody that’s playing in the SB will play, but really very few guys do both anyway, the list of “injuries” guys have to not play in the pro-bowl is epic and hilarious. As for Miami vs Honolulu the players make plenty of money they go to either whenever they want, the free trip stopped being a draw for players along time ago.
