I don’t pay any attention to the Pro Bowl to begin with.
This just reinforces that.
Next year they will be resigned to flag football.

Well if they get extra votes for "criminal activity" they definitely would win every year.
(Cincy and Pittsburgh and Baltimore would fight it out each year for the title of "Super Bowl Losers" using the "Criminal Activity/voting Format)

The only all-star game that’s worth anything is baseball’s, and even then they introduced the inane idea of letting it decide home-field advantage in the World Series. They only did that to try to make it matter after the "There's no tying in baseball" debacle in 2002. They ran out of players because it was more important to get every player on the field than it was to win, like some Little League game.

A pistol vs. revolver death match would be kinda cool. Or flamethrowers vs. grenades.

It is similar to what the NHL adopted a couple of years back, and it’s hard to imagine a more meaningless game than what the hockey players put on annually. hockey ping

I have always thought that the idea of a Kansas City pitcher striking out a Milwaukee batter to give the Rangers home field advantage in the World Series against the Dodgers was a little ridiculous.
Baseball’s ASG was better before interleague play. It was the only chance outside of the World Series to see stars of different leagues play against each other. When MLB sold out for interleague play, they cut the legs out from under the All-Star Game too.
Now that there’s interleague play, why not decide home field by which league wins more interleague games? Or, horror of horrors, by head to head record between the teams involved if they played during the season?
Can’t have that.

Don't laugh at the Bengals' criminal record or else you might not get tickets to orange jumpsuit day.

A couple of years ago the League changed the location to the same city as the Super Bowl. The players ASSOCIATION DID NOT LIKE THAT..............

The Pro-Bowl is the most useless of the All-Star games because nobody want to get injured. They should just scrap the game in favor of a skills competition.
