Pro bowl was moved to the week before the Superbowl in the same location (Miami). The players on the Superbowl teams do not play in the Pro bowl game. Thus, we don't want our players playing in this game so they can prepare for the big game!!
This is an absolutely terrible decision by the NFL. The pro-bowl has always sucked (well except for Fitz) but you do this after the season. That's going to wipe out a lot of players.
Now it is like saying "Hey, your team was not good enough, but you did OK"
Edit: and a lot of slots will be opened for players that do not make the SB. Great. How does it feel if you did not make the PB except for the fact they guy that was selected ahead can't play due to the playoffs. Stupid!
That said, pro-bowl selection is on NFL network in about 90 mins. 7pm eastern 4pm pacific, 5pm AZ.
