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.
I completely agree with TLL here. Players can get injured doing nearly anything.
There are plenty of reasons to get rid of the Pro Bowl. I used to like that our players would get acknowledged but now
that doesn't even matter considering all of the alternates. When our team sucked it was nice to atleast see some striped
helmets in the Pro Bowl and the players played harder then. Now it is a joke IMHO.
