That should scare every single owner. 

Might as well put them into a medically induced coma for the offseason and then wrap them in bubble wrap, too. You never know when they'll hurt themselves working out, or playing basketball with their friends, or break their arm going to get pizza, or blow off their fingers with fireworks, or flip their truck, or shoot themselves dancing at a club, or flip a fondue pot onto you and get burns, or fracture your hand golfing, or break your arm playing flag football, or get jumped by a Steeler and his posse at a casino, or, or, or, or, or....

Plus FORGET about minicamps and spring training. Tons of people get serious injuries in those non-games. Get rid of them, too!

Seriously, there's been what, 46 Pro Bowl games? How many actual injuries can you list to me that came from those games? Just invoking the name of Paul Brown doesn't make your point any better. If you want to get rid of the Pro Bowl, there's PLENTY of perfectly valid reasons to do so. Eifert is not one of them.
