1 steeler in the game, Decastro.... 5 Cowboys with that sterling 4-12 record...

virtually all the starters pulled out of the game... the top two fullbacks even bailed... only one of the original QBs are playing... Russel Wilson... after that the QBs are Eli manning, Teddy Bridgewater, David Carr, Tyrod Taylor, and Jamis Winston... welcome to the Mediocre Pro bowl
 
didn't watch


was the first time I didn't tune in


I think I am done with it.............
 
I just remembered it was on and tuned in just time to see Pacman Jones gamble on jumping a route, screw it up and allow Amari Cooper to go past him for 40 yards. That part was enjoyable at least.
 
Watching Fixer Upper with Mrs. Fan. Dog in lap.
 
I am watching the NHL all star game.. also as pointless, but at least they basically admit it with all their gimmiks

This game is trash.

The sad part is when the CBA was being discussed, this was something the league wanted to do away with, and the players union used some of its leverage in keeping it.... what a foolish move... they could easily have kept the binuses and lost the game
 
there shouldn't be two weeks between the CGs and the super bowl... ad another week to the season... or better add more playoff games MAke 4 wildcard teams play each other and give all the division winners a bye or something... anything is better than this pro bowl crap

Though the pro bowl sucks, I think the week after the Super Bowl is the worst. The long cold winter begins.

I agree, it's still football.
I hate the time of year when football is over, NASCAR hasn't started, and the TV is mostly full of college basketball.
 
So I guess Sherman pulled a wrestling move on Clay Matthews... was that serious or were they joking around?
 
There was a time, over a score ago, that this game was played to actually show the talents of the "made the pro bowl" players.. There were some medium rules, but they actually hit & played. Was kind of fun to watch as the players actually participated. Game was after the SB and the week leading up to the game had individual contest(s). Aaaahhh, the good O'l days, when you could count on a Dan Kreider pancake of rayray....................... **** the cheatriots !!!!!!!!




Salute the nation
 
I didn't realize it was on yesterday, I watched most of the Rolex 24 I had recorded.
 
Everything they can do to a meaningless game to make it worse. The only part they got right is moving it back to Hawaii. I'd much rather see a young stars game with only players on their rookie contracts with pay for the game incentivized for stats in game. Having the game actually resemble football would be a plus as well. C'mon, the D can't play nickel or dime but the O can line up basically 4 wide ( with all the pass catching TEs and RBs) and just call all go routes. The only rule they should keep is no blitzing schemes.

The NFL should stop the game. Just give the guys who earned it a media week in Hawaii with light-contact fan friendly type of drills.
 
Did anyone see Jon Gruden commentating on the sidelines? He looked like he was higher than a kite. Otherwise, meh.
 
I watched The Martian instead. About half an hour too long. I'm guessing the Pro Bowl was at least half an hour too long if not more.

Other than that, who cares?

Or have two retired coaches draft players from Cleveland and Detroit. Whoever gets the MVP award for that game gets to leave their team....
 
Combine the Pro-Bowl with American Ninja Warriors or Wipe Out. You decide.

Have the elected athletes run one of the courses. Wipe Out might be the more entertaining of the two.

Beats the hell out of Flag Football w/o the flags.
