The Pro Bowl thread

[Torn Mind]

Ah yes, a relaxing week of a football game most people don't watch and some of the participants are just on a bittersweet vacation.

But it's in VEGAS. GAMBLING TIME!!!!

Yeah, the Pro Bowl is just a bunch of fucking around, not a serious football game.

Wait, are you the person that watches this crap?

I would rather see a skills challenge like they do for NBA all star weekend. Get the best QBs to do some throwing drills with moving targets. Have the linemen do some world's strongest man type challenges where they go against each other in a knockout tournament. The further they get into each round the more endurance will be important to them. Get a mechanical football thrower and have WRs do a skills challenge where they have to make it to certain spots of the field and get points for catching the ball, etc. These are all much lower impact activities than an actual game and you would get much higher player participation.

Don't think I have in a while.

I actually dumped football for other interests from like 2017 to the start of the Ron Rivera era.

It used to be in Hawaii. Where was it last year? Miami?

I might have an interest in a retired players “Bowl”. Everyone is playing soft anyway but connections that only exist in fantasy can become reality. Or an old man combine. Darrell Green might still be faster than most people even now.

There is already an AFC/NFC contest to see who's best called the Super Bowl? Watching a bunch of millionaires play flag football is not interesting to me.

I haven't watched the Pro Bowl in decades, and I don't see that changing.
