If the Pro-Bowl was eliminated, would you care?

[Dback Jon]

Poll coming.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

The what ?

Do they even play that still ? I thought they already got rid of it.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

It was fun to go to it last year, but we never took it seriously at all.

Last night we watched American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. the World on NBC instead of the Pro Bowl.

I did check the score and stats. DRC with two INT's.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

It was on yesterday. After watching them half attempt to run through the plays I changed the channel.

No need to have it any more IMO

 

[Dude]

I know it was on this weekend. When it was on, what happened or who won I don't have a clue.

Its better if they do a Bowl game with the best players of the upcoming draft
Junior sophomore and senior

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

It's a meaningless game. If I wanted to watch guys workout, I'd join a gym.

None of the players in the Pro Bowl want to come away with an injury. As such, it might as well be flag football.

all it is,..is a recruiting trip...which rarely pans out

 

[8ndkorner]

I am from Hawaii and living here currently, but no I wouldn't mind dumping it. I hear "stuff" like "It's a reward to the players/families" But if I was nominated I would just take the family to a location where I wasn't so recognizable.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I haven't watched it in 20 years.

Bring back skills challenges instead of the game itself.

 

[Russ Smith]

THey should just name the teams but not play the actual game.

Totally worthless and the risk of injury is just not worth it.

 

[Buckybird]

**** no!!! Darn good idea it because of the joke it is.

70% of its best players aren't there...good riddance.

 

[oaken1]

name the teams,.. get together for a huge beach party bonfire,...then let Madden simulate the game

 

[English on tour]

Meaningless game, but I would like to see the voting of an all pro team continue (but without all this fans voting nonsense). Top players should still be recognised for their achievements during a season.

 

[BigRedRage]

Nope. Just make the team and have no game

Does anyone remember the Superstars challenge that used to be on CBS in the late 80s? That was awesome.

 

[cardsfanmd]

I just like the skills challenges. Hell, I liked the MTV rock n jock games more.

Loved it. It started all the way back in 1973 on ABC before CBS picked it up.

I loved any of those sports challenges or even celebrity challenges over the years. Reality TV before Reality TV.

Bruce Jenner and Ahmad Rashad.

The game is a goof. If others like it, fine. It just doesn't capture my interest.

They should do a big awards show (something like the ESPY's) where they announce the all pro's, MVP, rookie of the year, coach of the year, etc (even hall of fame inductees).

They do the this Sat night just like they do every Super Bowl.

Wouldn't care personally I maybe watched 5 min and it was like watching a flag football gm no hard hitting at all

I also miss the player skill challenge that was actually fun I even think plummer particapted in that in the past right?

Pretty sure Jake won it one year.

The pro bowl is so dumb.

I completely agree with those above who said something along the lines of:

Pick the teams, have a cool challenge thing. I would so tune in to watch these athletes compete head to head in skills competitions or obstacle courses. Heck yeah. Could be mellow stuff where you can kind of control risks, but it's going to be way safer than a half speed mock game.


I mean seriously, what's more compelling;

The pro bowl! (as it currently is)

or

Cam Newton and Russell wilson face off in QB skills challenge. Brady vs. Manning. Palmer vs. Jake Delhomme (Sorry Carson, just kiddin buddy)

John Brown vs Antonio Brown foot race!

Fitz vs. Julio catching contest...

Sherman vs Peterson in an obstacle course race.

Heck yeah man, that would be amazing and I think people would tune in.

Now I would watch that... great idea
