Honestly why doesnt the NFL get rid of the pro bowl

Iceman · Feb 10, 2008

This game is no longer needed. Rule changes and players playing 3/4 of the speed, just makes no sense. I would be pissed if I got hurt in this game and had to spend my offseason re-habbing cause of aninjury sustained in playing this game.

Robert Edwards anyone?

I know that I am watching it though

Cusipz · Feb 10, 2008

Of course I'm watching, but I do agree this game is a joke. No other sport has an injury risk like this in the all star game.

I know i bet the AFC -3 but im not gonna watch it. I'll wait till later for the final score. I'm watching UCLA/Washington right now, pretty good game so far. 27-23 Washington. Hopefully Washington covers the 9.5.

get a new hat dork...

terribe event amazing they allow these huge guys to play and risk an injury even if they play at only 1/2 speed and power ..

VIEJODINOSAUR · Feb 10, 2008

Agree with everyone...this game was good YEARS ago, get rid of it like they did the college all stars vs the pros...

If you got rid of the pro bowl, how else would I have made a quick $50 today?

I say keep it! Great opportunity for player's wife and children to enjoy Hawaii

then why not also kill every All-Star game, and pre-season game ?

theticket_22 · Feb 10, 2008

i'm not really sure why but the 3d quarter began with a running clock...(ie, clock runs after inc, out of bounds....just never stopped)...then about midway thru the 3rd they stopped and it went back to normal timing rules...Is this planned or what...common knowledge?

Cusipz · Feb 10, 2008

No idea...lots of weird rules in this game.

theticket_22 · Feb 10, 2008

did u notice that also?...figured if others saw it, they'd be in here complaining about over/under bets.

Cusipz · Feb 10, 2008

No need to complain, the over was locked up in the 2nd quarter.

MAKE IT A 2 day event in TAMPA, SAN DIEGO etc. with a skills competition/ old timers touch game FANFEST etc. one day followed by a game.

THE MONEY SHOULD GO TO THE OLD TIMERS MEDICAL BILLS!!!!!!!

I am posting from the shuttle back from the game, and I really enjoyed the pro bowl, it isn't the same as regular season, but it is a nice opportunity to see a whole bunch of great players on the field at the same time...and I am loaded from drinking in the sun since 8am...so there it is

All the locals I spoke to are bummed that the pro bowl will likely be leaving Hawaii soon, it creates a lot of economic activity here

Puccini · Feb 10, 2008

I've never watched one in my entire life.

Kev · Feb 11, 2008

I'll tell ya why they dont.

I was in Honolulu to watch this shit event and it was standing room only. They sold WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more tickets than they had seats. I had to stand in a line 15 deep for a hot dog, even worse to piss.

HUGE MONEYMAKER.

I'll never go to one again.
