Thread: Pro Bowl game likely to be stopped

I really don't see a problem with it as it is, and the fans at Aloha Stadium should reconsider why the hell they are booing. The Pro Bowl has NEVER been very competitive and it means nothing. Frankly, I don't think it SHOULD mean anything besides the "just for fun" game that it is and a token reward for the guys that earned their Pro Bowl honors. So what if it's not competitive. If you can't have fun in a festive atmosphere in the Aloha Bowl in beautiful Honalulu without those guys trying to pound each other in a meaningless game that could jeopardize their ability to actually compete in MEANINGFUL games then you are awfully hard to please. Good god, so what if they only give 50%. Enjoy the experience of being around the BEST the league has to offer, soak up some rays and get some autos. For those watching on TV, have you ever really expected a competitive game? Have you ever seen one? Do you every REALLY care who wins? In the past (when they played it AFTER the SB), it was just one last taste of "kinda" football before it was put away for the season. It meant nothing, I expected very little and I enjoyed it for what it was, passing entertainment.

Frankly, I don't think this is a "player" problem as much as it is a "fan" problem.

I don't think most fans expect a very competitive game, but in recent years it just seems to be getting worse and worse. I don't blame the players at all. Why risk a buttload of money in a game that doesn't count for anything. That's why I think a skills competition would be great. Still low risk of injury, and I think the competition would be more intense than a game because you'd have guys going mano a mano. If fans still really want to see a game, take their helmets off and strap on some flags because that's all the pro bowl is anyways.

I believe I have the solution. We round up all of the NFL Cheerleaders and the NFL sponsors a naked touch football game between the American and National Conferences. Of course the young womanhood of Chicago is protected from this since..........WE DON'T HAVE F'N CHEERLEADERS!

End the probowl. Have them do drills instead. Add cheerleaders in really skimpy outfits. Sell beer. Proceeds go to cancer.

For that I'll donate to whichever charity they want.

I vote for the competition to be between the skins and the Wicked Weasel bikini ladies.
