However, the NFL could hold an All-Star game of sorts, and actually get players to want to play in it. Make it an all-star game comprised of only players still in their rookie contracts. Nice cash bonus to all players, but double for the winning team.
Sorry, but that would be bringing back the game Paul Brown had them dump in early 70's. Just dump the Pro Bowl and put the off week waiting for Super Bowl focus on The College Senior Bowl. Guys trying to move up in the draft with a good showing. .....The NFL is a collision sport. Any exhibition game means possible injury. The big hope in preseason games is no injuries. No, there is no place for All-Star games in the NFL. Eifert lost for most of the season. For what ? For What ? Stop these things......The 2 weeks before the Super Bowl is on that, not this dumb Pro Bowl. People are getting ready for the Super Bowl. Nobody cares about this game. Most clubs don't even turn it on. The Super Bowl is the thing, not this dumb game. The NFL has great play-offs football, then the worst game of the year, and then the Super Bowl. Just dump the worst game of the year. It has no part in here with play-off Championship football. My guess is most sports clubs have basketball or golf on this weekend. I never see people all into watching the NFL Pro Bowl. Nobody cares about this dumb game.
Other than the Pro Bowl, I'm for bringing back Wide World Of Sports and the weekend before Super Bowl have figure 8 demolition car race in old metal clunkers, or big fat Hawaii guys cliff diving, or bring back roller derby with big women that look like middle linebackers. Anything but the NFL Pro Bowl. Is there a rugby game anywhere. Maybe London can give us something, like a top rugby game the weekend before Super Bowl or a top soccer game...Then there is hockey...anything but Pro Bowl. Get rid of it. My guess is there is a good basketball match-up this weekend somewhere, Has to be. We are heading into February. Time to make NCAA or NBA Play-Off hunt drive for some teams on the bubble. Maybe battle of the liberal and conservative media stars. Bill Maher vs Bill O'Reilly in championship carnival bumper car match. Junk sports. Anything but Pro Bowl. Maybe The Great Lebowski Trophy Bowl Off. Bowling. TV Bowling. Maybe the great senior resort shuffleboard championship, this time, It's for REAL. Championship Bingo and old women that can do 50 cards at once and just watch that amazing magic marker action...anything but Pro Bowl.
