NFL eliminating the Pro Bowl

[Bigtex67]

But you can still be elected so they can still get their incentives.

It will just eliminate the 4th choice since the first choice can't attend due to injury or still playing. Thank goodness!

It’s past time the all star game ended for all sports. Nobody watches them. You can keep changing the formats but they will continue to get low ratings. Especially NBA and NHL.

I’ll never forget that hit.

RIP Sean

Good.. Its been lame for like 20 years.

Okay.

The league makes the big announcement.

They discussed the decision at length.

No more Pro Bowl.

Great.

Players will still get honors.

Alright.

What the <bleep> will they call the honor now? Will players still be named to the Pro Bowl WHEN THERE IS NO MORE PRO BOWL?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Finally. Whew!

Still difficult to believe they gave a dollar back though.

Also kinda unfair to players with Pro Bowl incentives in their contracts.

Well that's why they didn't get rid of it I'm assuming. There's still Pro Bowl voting but now they don't get the pleasure of making a Pro Bowl because of guys getting hurt or guys turning it down or going to the SB. PB voting is going to be much more legit.

I say let there be a NCAA VS NFL match!!!

I think it's a temporary thing because of some guys getting incentives based on Pro Bowl voting. Couldn't flat out eliminate it.

The correct decision, far too late. It's been dead for over a decade.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Damn. What will I do now on the Sunday between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl?

I dont see why not, they used to do it in the 60s and 70s

I think the players voted to the Pro Bowl should be put in madden on the respective teams and then allow the 2 best Madden players to play it out. Or have AI do a simulation.

I like idea of no game, less wear and tear on the players and less chance of injury

 

[RS12]

Just like before, All Pro was all that really mattered. Particularly recently.

Why has there not been some additional news of what the award will someday be called IF keeping the contractual information in line with the honor was a planned temporary thing?

Billions is why they won't do it in 2026. Too much money.

Hey let's go, they want to be the big boys, play against them!

[Ranching]

Have the cheerleaders play a flag, better yet, a two hand touch 7 on 7 tournament.
