Why the Pro Bowl Sucks

[packersfan4eva]

^Or bring back the skills challenges and televise that shit. Make it an event. They enjoyed those, we enjoyed those...

Those were definitely the shit. I always loved the sprinting contest with the fastest players in the NFL

That's cool. I want to see the QB skills comp.s and stuff like that.

Indeed. I didn't see it. I wouldn't say I "missed" it though.

the fans get to vote who they like the most. Beyond that ,its unimportant. That still doesnt change what the pro bowl bowl is. Just a show cased vacation for the NFL.

for the idiots that groaned my post. You truly have no critical thinking skills and cant see the Forest through the trees to save your simplistic lives.

the all star game / pro bowl is for fun for the players. Thats all it is .

That explains why 33 players pulled out this year?

You just don't have the critical thinking ability to realise that 33 players pulling out actually strengthens Rams29Jacksons arguement.

I can't see the forest through the trees to save my sad, pathetic life I suppose. I'll defer to the worst poster on VSN to give me guidance.

For real, though, explain how that strengthens his argument. Thirty-three players would rather be at home watching, so it's funner for them?

Here's what you gotta do.


SCRAP THE FUCKING PRO BOWL.


Instead, build some flag football (cause really, they don't play hard enough for pads anyways) teams out of the 8 divisions and have a 1-2 day long tournament.

On the side, have skill competitions (40 yard dash, throwing accuracy, kicking competitions, etc)

That could be entertaining to people.

Watching half assed football with the almost best players in the league? Retarded and pointless.

That is by far a better idea.

heres the math for you buckwheat. If this game were for the fans. The players would actually be obligated to play by the league. it doesnt matter that a second or third guy in line goes. that player still gets a vacation week, a few perks and plays a pick up football game that american money is still willing to pay for and show on tv.

the game is not for the fans. just because players decline to play in it doesnt make it any less true.

Without numbers, how can that be math? I think you just schooled me on some social science, maybe? Or am I missing the forest through all these trees?

And way to completely gloss over the fact that 33 players declined the opportunity to get this "vacation week" because they'd all rather take a real vacation week.

[red33]

they should have the players play air hockey and beer pong instead.

I think that they should field a team of all-pros and then make the rookies play them, that way at least one side is trying and we can get a sneak peek of the players coming up from college in an nfl setting... Plus I just love how excited a rookie gets when he gets to go on the field, their legs never stop moving even after the plays over...
