The owners don't make so much off this that they can afford injuries to their best players and often high salary players........If the owners want more money, they would be better off to dump this pointless exhibition game, and perhaps add an extra week of regular season or an extra week of play-offs. I would choose the last option because there have been teams with 10 wins that don't make the play-offs. A first week of play-offs where the best non wild card team in AFC and NFC plays the # 6 wild card teams, while all other teams take a week off to get healthy for play-offs. Those 2 play-in games would be better than the Pro Bowl that is NFL football at it's very lowest form. .....There are other ways for the owners to make money besides this awful played Pro Bowl.
Eifert is not the first player to get injured in the Pro Bowl, but he should be the last as they end this game. So here we have a Bengals star player injured while NOT playing for the Bengals. Owners are crazy to let their best franchise players participate in this thing, because since it is football, injuries can happen. Owners need to wise up and look for a smarter way to make a buck than this game. Plus it is such a boring game that it makes the NFL look bad, it really does.
