Pro Bowl... Nice Honor, Bad Game...
Believe me, I am the last person you would ever expect to hear this from, but it is time for the NFL to make the Pro Bowl go away.
I love football, especially the NFL and can watch almost any teams play, but the game has lost its luster. Name the team and then figure something else out from there. A player shouldn’t be a Pro Bowler because someone else couldn’t play. Congratulations to Vince Young on a great year, but there’s no way he should be a 2-time Pro Bowler and when Keith Bulluck is sitting on one.
Oh, and then there’s the injury factor. When I do watch moments of the game almost the entire time I’m wondering, “man, how bad would this be if suchandsuch blew out his knee in a meaningless game?”
Make it an honor not a game.
P.S. My alternative is to send them to Hawaii 1 month after the season and have the “skill” players compete in a “superstars” style competition and have the lineman compete as “strongmen”. Not realistic, but I always enjoyed watching both of those programs in the past.
