I went to the game...they need to carpet bomb the Pro Bowl. It is funny watching all of the stars in the NFL that wouldn't touch a special teams play actually play specials. They basically walk down the field.
I don't understand how any team, player, media member, etc can ever claim these players "risk unnecessary injury" in this game. No one runs with all out effort. When defenders tackle the player, it is done rather gently, almost with precaution or mostly just push them out of bounds. No blitzing or anything complex on D basically make this game of online Madden cheese but in real life. It really is a pointless game. I can see, however, how in a place like Hawaii it benefits...those fans out there never see a game in person UNTIL then, so, they for those Hawaiian fans, its great out there. But, for we state-siders who see football up close and personal all of the time, watching this game is junk. I'd rather go see FIU play football or some 2A HS football in South Florida.
Its cool seeing all of the stars, for novelty, at least...but not worth the time.
With that said, I am not sure if it came out on TV, but Chad Ocho Cinco brings absolute lulz to the Pro Bowl. Mike Jenkins, Antrel Rolle, and Asante Samuel were tormenting the hell out of him and he kept telling the QB to throw to him even though he was dropping them all over the place. One time Garrard told 85 that he kept dropping them and he said "I don't have these issues with my quarterback, throw it again!"
