Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Tinker the format? 🤔 2. Super Bowl winner vs. All Stars opposite conference? Any owner worth their salt says "Hell NO!" 1. University of Alabama vs. NFL All Stars. More to appease the Alabama crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an irrelevant nothing that doesn't appear at all on my radar. Just writing these few sentences is the most I've thought about it in decades. Yeah, I didn't even know it was today until I started monkeying around in this thread. My plan to take the dog snowshoeing all afternoon remains unchanged. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 My take, if Stephon gets hit as hard as he hit his brothers jersey on a folding table, I’ll be pissed. Use the players who would attend the game in a Madden game. It’ll get more streaming hits than tv ratings would. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they need to change it up, do Something innovative if its ever to be taken seriously. YEP. m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 3 hours ago, Simon said: Back in the early 90's I was living in Buffalo next to this crazy lady who was always trying to get me to come over. I finally agreed to come over and "watch the Pro Bowl" with her and things went as you'd expect. We were on the couch, doing what guys and gals do, when some crazy dude in a German military visor barged in with a bunch of beer, tore of his clothes and then tried to join in! Needless to say I got the hell out of there and moved away the next week. I don't know what ever happened to those lunatics but the whole thing sort of ruined the Pro Bowl for me..... I'm still around but sold my German military visor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I think the last time I watched was some time in the late 80s. It's just pointless. I did enjoy watching some of the skill challenges this week though. The QB ones especially were fun, it's just a shame the top QBs weren't taking part. It'd be funny to see Allen do that thread the needle challenge, just firing the ball as hard as he can at those DBs trying to block the ball away. They could do more challenges that would be fun to watch like tug of war with the linemen, distance kicks with the, erm, kickers. Maybe they do similar stuff, I haven't seen much of it. And I guess the worry over injuries limits what they can ask the guys to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 NFL needs to switch to flag football for the pro bowl. Not saying that sarcastically, it would be more entertaining to watch. At least the players would be trying and can go harder without the threat of injury. This hugging and guys barely moving is impossible to watch.

To make matters worse, all Pat was wearing was an oversized Marino jersey which flapped around his girthy mid section as my wife slapped his a*s and yelled "you should have gone higher than Kelly!"
