RIP Pro Bowl

[sb1]

I'm probably in the minority but I liked the game the way it was... after the Super Bowl. It was a great way to see our favorites one more time before training camp. I'll miss it.

It was pretty much a flag football game already.

Thank god. I have been saying for years to have a fastest man, bench competition, QB drills, etc weekend and be done with it. Less risk of injury and you would likely get more of the top guys to compete.

Back in the day, the skills competitions were far better than the actual game. Never understood why they got rid of those and kept the game.

 

[Brick27]

Good call. It’s always silly when number of Pro Bowls are brought up in HOF debates, when there are guys picked as like the 7th alternative at their positions due to the Super Bowl and injuries. It adds more legitimacy to the honor by just naming the teams and leaving it at that.

The skills challenges could still be fun though if they beef them up a little and add more appeal.

It was dead forever when they decided to move it to the week before the Super Bowl AND play it in freaking Florida. Like at least there was a free Hawaii vacation in it for some families before.

Another record that won't be broken

Be careful what you wish for. We might fluke the change but what happens if injuries happen during the competition. Then what

Ratings must of been really bad. I can’t believe they finally cut the cord.

I'd rather watch AB spitting out rhymes.

As long as that flag football game isn't played on the beach...

Beat me to it. Stay off the sand. Sand bad.

What's wrong with the beach? Everybody loves the beach!
What could go wro... oh wait...
...never mind

The NFL dumped the Pro Bowl to revive the punt, pass and kick competition.

 

[Hyped]

Good riddance.

Damn that was a painful memory

 

[Deus Irae]

While I'm glad the game is gone, I don't see any reason, beyond the NFL's avariciousness, to have brought back the rest.

The Pro Bowl has been 2-hand touch for quite some time now. It is like training camp where you go through a play but stop at the moment of tackle.

or stay away from the cans...stay away from the cans....
