KDIGGZ Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Pro bowl sucks. They need to change it to AFC vs nfc skills competition or flag football or something. Otherwise just get rid of it. Having said that our vacation house is an hour away so I'll prob go to the game since I'll be there anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 That's doubly disturbing. First, they're still playing a Pro Bowl. Second, it's in Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that our vacation house is an hour away so I'll prob go to the game since I'll be there anyhow Even flag football is too dangerous. Didn't a Patriot running back (name escapes me) tear up his knee playing flag football on a beach? I also agree, do away with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I imagine this continues to be a money grab for the NFL for a while. Any city willing to give them a big break gets the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 No offense to Orlando (i have a condo in Cocoa Beach and know Orlando well), but I think alot of the allure and reward of the Pro Bowl for players was the nice trip to Hawaii. I guess the draw for the players now is that the ones with families can do all the parks of Disney and there is less travel. I recall growing up back in OP in the 70's and we were friends with a lot of the Bills staff and families (PR etc.) and Ralph Wilson used to send everyone to the Pro bowl as a nice annual bonus. I remember them all being excited about going as Hawaii was still a little exotic at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 They need to reschedule this for AFTER the SB so that everyone who's earned a spot can actually play and keep this game in Hawaii or somewhere overseas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 They need to reschedule this for AFTER the SB so that everyone who's earned a spot can actually play and keep this game in Hawaii or somewhere overseas... I couldn't agree more. Orlando the week after the SB makes a great deal of sense, and change the purse to $20,000 to the loser and $150,000 to the winner using corporate sponsorships. Turn the page back to AFC vs. NFC, and there will be skin in the game. Selfishly living 1.5 hours away would actually consider taking my boys just to maybe see the greats of the game. If it's after and the winning purse is larger, maybe they play a little harder. Probably never the lineman, but at least the skill players.

VirginiaMike Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 My comment to that "Who cares" -- it's a waste of time. I would say it's a waste of effort, but none of the players make an effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
