Do you people really care about the pro bowl?
 

I have not watched a Pro Bowl once in my life. What do you care if there are Pats or no Pats. You could throw 10 350lbs Oprah impersenators out there and no one would notice. Its the Pro Bowl!!! Nobody cares, nobody watches. If the entire Pats rpster made the Pro Bowl, and it was layed in my back yard, I probably wouldnt watch.

I know recognization is nice, but ets look at from the other side. pro Bowl selection means more money to the players on the cap, plus this might motivate some of the guys who should have gone.

So to sum.... Its all good.

pro bowl sucks, but I do wish Warren would have gotten in he definately deserved it.

Re: Do you people really care about the pro bowl?
 

I'd care if it was a real game... but all-stars from this league have nobody to play against except themselves and nobody cares about the outcome...

Players should receive some recognition for their achievements, however, and naming them to such a team seems worthwhile.

What if they made the Pro Bowl a week-long tournament of 7 on 7 beach football with two completions to make a first down, first to score 3,4,5 TDs wins? It would be a big party, fun to watch players in a more casual setting. Who wouldn't watch this???

The reason I did not respond to the thread on the Pro Bowl uproar is I could care less. Someone even mentioned credibility concerning the game? Another person said something about watching it. Honestly, I'd prefer not any Patriots making that team as it gives the opportunity for injury. Something more likely to happen when you don't play full speed. The games best players are not there and the game is played at another level (basement). I'm sure if I was in Hawaii and given free tickets to the game, I'd opt for the golf course.

I remember one player telling ESPN or wsomething like that, if he cared about winning the Pro-Bowl and he replied saying that around the 4th quater when you realize that you have just footed the bill for all your relatives to spend a week in Hawaii, you start thinking about the extra $20,000 winner's share.

Most players have a Pro-Bowl bonus built into their contracts, which is why their teamates get upset when they feel that they have been snubbed.

I care but only because apparantly the number of pro bowl selections by a player weighs in on HOF eligibility.
I want to see some more Patriots in that place.
Beautiful place btw. In Canton.

Re: Do you people really care about the pro bowl?
 

I agree with a lot that has been said..it does come into play in looking at the HOF entries and such..but as a game?? WORST of all all star games...totally..and one I haben't watched in years..

no........

Re: Do you people really care about the pro bowl?
 

i think it matters to certain extent..lets the players enjoy themselves..be happy to know that players/coaches/fan appreciate their play and all that.

Being the football junkie that I am I watch the game, but don't care too much how it ends up. The whole problem with the Pro Bowl is the threat of injury; consequently, they don't really play that hard. I don't think the game really makes much sense. They should just send the players to Hawaii for an awards ceremony and leave it at that.
