NFL eliminating the Pro Bowl

[morat1959]

It’s been a joke for a very long time. This is long overdue.

Agree with the decision but sad day for the league. I remember watching the Pro Bowl in the 90’s and it was can’t miss TV.

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

This would be well received on Wayne's World. I can hear Wayne now, "Excellent, party on Garth!"

Wow. Shedeur Sanders really did kill the Pro Bowl.

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

I read it quickly. I saw something about eight players getting the designation. There are so many cancellations due to SB teams plus injuries etc where many are in, and that won’t happen now.

I’m just talking about people who accepted those incentives. It’ll go away before long and probably isn’t really much of a big deal.

They really need to iron out a lot of things for the better of the game (and that’s Roger’s job, but he is usually wrapped up in which third world country they can play in next), but the CBA nego is usually about fighting over the money we give them.

Good.

Now remove probowl voting from fans and allow that to be a panel of past players / coaches / assistants

No media voting either

 

[gimmesix]

Fans have no idea what they are voting, its a popularity contest for them. We had a certain someone on these boards claiming Kenneth Murray was having an outstanding season

They don't. But we've already got All-Pro to award the best players in the league. I think the fans should continue to have a say in Pro Bowl picks, even if they are picking based on popularity.

Bring back the QB Challenge.

 

[Risen Star]

Back when men were men there was no issue with playing the Pro Bowl.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

It was eliminated the year after Sean Taylor laid out the punter, they pretty started playing flag football after that big hit anyways.

 

[Cowboys5217]

They finally put Old Yeller out of his misery.

 

[GMO415]

Oh no!! Whatever will we do?
But seriously, I did like the skills competition during Pro Bowl week.

That was fun

 

[eromeopolk]

Michael Irvin was a Pro Bowl game MVP. I watched it.

 

[cowboyed]

It turned into a carnival show over the years. I was waiting for it to further degrade into the singing AFC vs. the chanting NFC.

 

[DogFace]

Hardly related, but I hate this guy…Can they please eliminate team mascots so we can take that jackleg Rowdy out to pasture?

 

[nate dizzle]

Getting rid of it to usher in the 3rd Place Bowl. I had heard they liked how World Cup had one, so this would track.

 

[Zekeats]

Todays society has become so soft that. Back in the day the best wanted to show up against the best. Now they just hug and kiss wihen they meet up. Thats all sports by the way, come to think of it amazingly baseball still puts out a good all star game though, competition wise.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Good decision NFL. Maybe the Commish does know what he's doing.

 

[Blackrain]

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

You're on to something now ranch I like the way you think.
And they could be coached by say Michael Irvin and Brett favre.
The game could be played at Jerry world.
