SWATeam Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think the NFL is starting to get it right on the Pro Bowl. The game is a disaster that I will probably never watch again. Adding the skills stuff is a smart move, something at least relatively interesting. I still probably wont watch it but I bet more people do. I'm sure most of the players appreciate being able to take the families on a little vacation to Disney World as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should tie large charitable donations into the players that go. That is very important to these guys. That's how you get players involved, but the NFL is so stupid they haven't figured that out yet. Secondly, the feature event should be an NFL's fastest man competion. It would be like the old days but not necessarily just the Pro Bowlers. It would be like the dunk contest. What if you had 50 guys (or whatever) and do heats to narrow it down. People would love to watch Tyreke Hill, Goodwin, etc... race to determine who is the fastest man in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be tough. It's something I think the guys would want to train for and I could see some injury. Would be fun to watch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be fun to watch though Maybe so, but kind of like a signature event. They used to do it but it wasn't as organized. It could be the NFL's answer to the dunk contest or the home run derby.

Jauronimo Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I would rather watch Pro Bowlers play a game of flag football where positions are randomly assigned. Kyle Williams plays QB and TAylor lines up at WR, etc. Alternatively, it would be more interesting to watch them play beach volleyball top gun style.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 the games a joke. I stopped watching a few years back. It's irrelevant and has no bearing on the League. No one takes it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has always been a joke. You can't play football at half speed, trying to minimize contact, with no preparation or practice. Baseball, basketball, and hockey all star games are a farce but at least a somewhat entertaining farce as the games become a showcase of talent and skill since there is no defense. Those sports also benefit from the fact that the best players actually want to participate. The NFL needs to scrap the format. The pro bowl should not be a football game.

Beef Jerky Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) They used to do this skills thing back in the day. Who cares. They should get rid of it altogether. I wont watch one second of it. No one gives a **** what you will or won't watch. Almost like no one gives a **** about the bull **** that you spew on this forum. You are basically the cancer on this forum. Edited January 27, 2017 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have some "favorites", and then there is the other end of the spectrum. But I'll usually just ignore before getting so personal. Life's too short. Some people seem to struggle with that.

Webster Guy Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Some good ideas. Skills and drills. Fun stuff. Do field goal contest with all players not just kickers, punt competition, strongman stuff. Afc nfc tug of war over a mud pit etc. Have it in seattle or denver so the players can roast a joint together afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
