Todd Huntley, 658 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INT... Pro Bowler.

How many alternates declined before he got the nod? They must have asked every single starter in the AFC. Joining him are Carr and Lawrence.

If Derek Carr gets hurt in the Pro Bowl the Raiders are going to have to pay him that 33 million.

Watch him try to dive over the pile every play.
It's not a regular game anymore. It's a skills competition and non-contact flag football game. Anything is still possible, though...I still remember Robert Edwards basically losing his promising career playing that game of flag football in the sand, in Hawaii for the Pro-Bowl, his rookie year.

I wish they would just do away with the whole thing. It has become an absolute joke. Just name pro bowlers and give them recognition for making it and be done with it. No game, no competition, nothing. Give them a free week in Hawaii, that's probably the only reason why most of them go anyhow.

It's been a joke for a long time.

Until I need it to prove a player I like is "good". Then it's legit. (This applies to everyone)

Not going to lie, the skills competition was a fun watch. I’m glad they’ve embraced what a joke it’s been and decided to make it fun. you can tell the players are having fun too.

Yeah but Kyler went to 2 of them. He put it on his memo about why he should get paid...
