pro bowl, goddel makes pointless comments

NFL.com news: Goodell says NFL's all-stars must play Pro Bowl at higher level

are you kidding me?

Lets protect players all year long with regulations and enforcing fines, but when they finally go easy lets dog them for it.

Let the college all stars play the pros, then you'll get something entertaining.

I agree, either make them play the college guys or turn it into a flag football game, what theyre doing now is an absolute joke

 

[vancelot23]

Yeah, they he paid like $50,000 for winning the pro bowl game. They should at least have to try for it. Or cancel it. In its current form it's garbage.

The Pro Bowl has gone to shit,this years was a joke

 

[vancelot23]

Nice to see even some of the players draw attention to it. Aaron Rodgers was very outspoken about how much it sucked.

 

[grayghost668]

You had to be blind not to see it

 

[vancelot23]

Yep, it is pointless.

Haven't seen it in years.....guess I'm not missing anything.....

What do they expect? You get paid whether you show up or not. These guys aren't going to put their careers on the line for a silly all-star game.

Get rid of the game..... Name an All-Pro team and give those guys a bonus or a free trip to Hawaii, but please spare us any more of these stories. I haven't watched the All-Pro game in 20 years - I certainly won't care if it gets canceled.

 

[bengaldoug]

They won't cancel it as long as it gets ratings as good as World Series games get......so I guess I'll just go on not watching it.....

How about moving the game and making it the first pre-season game of the season instead of the Hall of Fame game? I know there would be issues with free agents changing teams, but at least you would have all healthy all-stars and the Superbowl players could participate. Plus at this rate, pre-season is far more competitive than the Pro Bowl.

"If the fans are responding negatively to what we're doing, we better listen. And that was my message."

That was the most ridiculous statement of them all. When the fans don't want all these ridiculous fines and calls being made on the field and the softening of the game, you don't listen. But now all of a sudden, when the players heed what you've been preaching, then it's "we" better start listening.

That's a politician through and through. I bet his next stop will be Washington.

Put it AFTER the Super Bowl again. Then everyone selected could actually play. That would be a start, anyway.

This.....I never thought it made sense moving it before Super Bowl week.....

I didn't watch the Pro Bowl back in the day. Was it ever really any better??? The only real hit I ever remember was Sean Taylor decapitating the punter who tried to run a fake.
