Geno skips Pro Bowl - pally - 01-15-2019
Geno is apparently "injured" so can not participate in the Pro Bowl game. It is more likely that his wife is due to deliver baby Atkins any day now and he doesn't want to be away from home for a meaningless game

Who could blame him? Wouldn't bother me if no Bengal ever played in that stupid game ever again.

Me either
The NFL needs to totally overhaul that mess.

All Star games are pointless no matter the sport.

He will miss out on a trip to Orlando, Florida!
RE: Geno skips Pro Bowl - BengalFanInNJ - 01-15-2019
Good. I think all players should skip it. Half don't deserve to be there anyway.

For the best.

I know I will be deep fried for saying this but he really didn't belong there anyway. Maybe as an alternate. Mixon definitely got screwed.

After I watch a train wreck of a pro bowl I feel injured too...not physically but mentally.

It's just a money grab with no other redeeming quality.

For sure. Not worth risk of injury. They should still pick players for the pro bowl, just don’t play the game.

Nothing good can come from participating, so this is a good thing.

Yep,
They should just have a fan meet and greet. Punt, pass, and kick competition. Players passing with fans, awards ceremony or something ?
The game sucks to put it mildly, drop it

Everyone bitches about the game, but people keep watching. So, I can't blame them for continuing to serve it up if people are wolfing it down. Honestly, I'll check it out, like I imagine many Bengal fans will. I won't watch all three hours, but, that usually coincides with the NHL All-Star weekend and I'll spend time with both.

I don’t watch it. Haven’t for years. I’m sure their are others. I don’t condemn those who do, just don’t do it myself.

I bet you I haven't watched a half hours worth of pro bowl in the last ten years !
Besides when Dalton was in it the first time. I watched a good bit of him that season.

Right, but many do, enough to make it very profitable for the league and network. Last year's viewer numbers were the highest in four years, and beat the numbers of many games from the 2000s. So, until ALL stop watching it's going to be an annual event. Look, I'll readily admit it's crap football, but for many, it's an event.

Your right. For me personally, I’m just not attracted. Probably because it means nothing. I find preseason games interesting. Although they don’t count, their is a lot of currency to a fan and what to expect from players in the upcoming year.
