Commisioner Goodell wanted to draw more interest during the no football weekend in the 2 weeks prior to Superbowl. I like it. People will watch it more guaranteed. Its an afterthought after the Superbowl. Now it will be more popular.
Frankly I think that the game has ALWAYS been a joke and now more then ever. So many don't play and thus many who should not be a pro bowler become one. Get rid of the game. Just have the roster. Just like the College All Americans.
