Given the high financial value placed on these elite players, I’m quite surprised they are playing a game like this any more.
Plus the fact that a good number of players can’t even play in it because they are playing in the Super Bowl.
Who is the numbnut that thought having the game the week before the SB was a good idea?
Honestly, the NFL should have the Senior Bowl on the same day the Pro Bowl is on now.
If pro football is around five years from now, we won’t recognize it.
No kick-offs? Seriously? One of the most exciting parts of football is the kick-off and return.
Those who champion the changes that are coming, are the same folks who have tried to destroy the nation. It is the Leftists.
What is so bad about football that it must be destroyed?
Folks, it’s a man’s sport. It is a very physical game where women can’t come in and claim they’re just as good. It puts the lie to that, and that can’t be allowed.
It’s time for men to tell these people to F off.
Goddell wanted to cancel it, the players didn’t want it cancelled, so Goddell does this draft BS to punish the players for not doing what he wanted.
no kick-offs and no more AFC vs NFC
he might as well have cancelled it
when is the pro-bowl anyway?
What’s a Pro Bowl?
Time to cancel Roger Goodell at $29 Million a year.
Good. The Commish must've read my thread a few weeks ago when I called for the ending of the conferences.
There's no difference between the AFC and NFC so there's no need for conferences.
There's also no need for divisions. The teams should be ranked 1 thru 32 with the top 4 teams getting a first round bye in the playoffs while the next 8 teams play each other in the first round.
That way you won't have teams with inferior records making the playoffs while teams with better records stay home or travel to the home of a team with an inferior record.
Hopefully Goodell will see the brilliance in this idea and start working towards it.
I suppose it’s of some economic value to Hawaii?
Maybe another crony capitalist deal with Baraq.
They used to have the game after the superbowl of course...but most people forget about football as soon as the superbowl is over. So they moved it, in attempt to make the game less ‘forgot about’. I don’t know if its worked - but I see why they did it. And frankly, even with the game after the superbowl, a lot of top tier players chose not to attend.
Split the league into two groups of 16........
The first level is the Premier League, they play the other 15 teams. Top Four make the playoffs.
The three worst teams get relegated to the Second Division. And the best three teams in the Second Division get promoted.
They should cancel it. Permanently. The latest version, as describe in the article, is the worse thing imaginable. Plus, who the heck wants to put their best players at risk?
I think the Pro-Bowl needs to go away, it is the least viable of the all-star games.
I could do without the Pro bowl, in fact I haven’t watched it in years and I don’t plan on watching this one either.
It’s boring.
Almost don't recognize it NOW! Sheesh, what happened to actually TACKLING someone? Tackling seems to be a rarity now -- it seems like every play is one player trying to knock or bump the other either out of bounds or down. Aside from Offensive running plays, and kickoffs/punt returns, there's very little tackling anymore.
And don't get me started on how QB's are treated like premadonna's!
Please don’t pollute football with British soccer ideas.
