Given the high financial value placed on these elite players, I’m quite surprised they are playing a game like this any more.
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.
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.
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 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.
How about a $10,000 bonus to the players on the winning team?
Now at least baseball dresses up their All-Star game with things like home run derbies and dog-catching-frisbee contests. But the game itself is a cure for insomnia.

Instead, though, he chose to turn it into a ridiculous joke this year.
How and why does Roger Goodell have so much power?
I still can’t figure out which “team” to pull for. Let’s see: shirts or skins? Well, since I could care even LESS than previous Pro Bowls as to who wins, no way am I going to watch this travesty.
Maybe they should just continue to the Pro Bowl selection, give the players a free vacation to Hawaii, but just skip the game itself. Given the way the players play,skipping the game wouldn’t be too much different than playing it anyway.
They should cancel it, the probowl is just awful. Of course the ratings beat most of the championship games of other sports, so it won’t be canceled.
I never bother to watch the Pro Bowl. They should name all-star teams but there is little point to the game.
