NFC beats the AFC in dodgeball!

[Tunescribe]

Not only that, but the NFC took the entire Pro Bowl "skills competition" by a convincing score of 5-2. Damn!

We're boned...

You know who was good at dodgeball? Brandon Lloyd...

I could kick myself for missing the "drone-drop" contest.

Did anyone tear both their ACLs and arteries and almost die?

I don't know, but I think you can get concussed playing dodgeball

They drop Chris Collingsworth from a helicopter?

Tunie, I know you, Joker, Patsfanken and a few others will get it, I'm not sure some of the newer fans will, though, of the name "Robert Edwards"

I honestly don't know if this is a joke or if it actually happened.

Given the actual Pro Bowl is useless and nobody plays, a skills competition that does not put players at great risk of injury seems to be a better path to entertainment.

The Pro Bowl has always been useless (a team sport but it plugs in individuals with little time to prepare and effort equating to injury possibilities). Putting competitive characters together in non-contact events would seem to make for a more watchable show.

I agree dodgeball is just goofy, and I do not know if it would need to be AFC/NFC (make it individual). The NFL Fastest Man was always worth watching.

Well that puts you at around Brady's age, so yeah, you're ancient.

I think the point is many here don't have any connection to the pre-BB era Pats.

And BB's been here for 17 years, make of that what you will...

In short, the Pro Bowl is #fakefootball but hey, it's all about content creation, baby!
