Pro Bowl is discontinued

The most telegraphed move by a major sports organization over the last 30 years. I'm not sure who didn't see this one coming, eventually.

At least we can be rid of this fourth alternate business.

Makes sense. A game like this just doesn't make sense for such a contact sport. Especially one that's harder to just roll the balls out there and play than in other sports without an actual playbook. It's just such a **** product and not really any way to salvage it besides players devoting actual effort and injury risk to it which isn't really a fair ask.

Thank the sweet baby Jesus.

They could have kept it. Make the game after the Super Bowl like it used to be. It never needed to be “fixed”.

Cannot remember when I paid attention to the probowl and what it morphed into.
Keep the player bonuses.

The Pro Bowl was ****ed the day they moved it from Hawaii, and even more ****ed when they moved it to before the Super Bowl, and even MORE ****ed when they didn't keep up with salary inflation when it came to the winners/losers share.

Of course no one wants to go to the loser's bracket game in (insert random city here) for essentially peanuts. Or try when they're there.

Guess it wasn’t profitable enough.

The No bowl..

 

[TommyD4207]

And what becomes of the Pro Bowl MVP? Are all of Peyton Manning's Pro Bowl MVP trophies meaningless now?!?!

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

I won't miss it, haven't watched it in years.
That being said, flag football is growing incredibly fast.
Could've made made it a flag game. Would've been more competitive and perhaps drawn more/new fans.
But again, won't miss it.

Mac Jones finest moment.

I know...

Mac Jones finest moment.

 

[Sect140]

It’s about time. I can’t remember the last time I watched it.

 

[Uptown]

Damn, Shedeur made the Pro-Bowl & 345 Park said “Oh hell naw!..”

 

[JoeSixPat]

In its place they should have the worst NFL team play the best NCAA team as a disincentive to tank.

I know I'd tune in to watch the Jets lose to a college team!

You are kidding right?

It was always an abomination.
Anyone who loves football, hated the pro bowl.
Long overdue.
