Dislocated elbow on the non-throwing arm. He's blessed that he didn't blow his knee out on that same play. It looked ugly. That would've sucked.

I thought that is was a "low blow" from Suggs. I know the game is fast but I believe that he could've backed off.

For a game that was for "fun", he could've really screwed Brees'es career.

The AFC's defensive front was dominant all night. They were getting push the entire game, I was worried about Romo getting banged up in the 4th.

It's funny, I was thinking the same thing. Throughout Tony's playing time, I was thinking #@$% this line looks worse than the one Tony played with all year in Dallas! And, these guys are the best of the best?" My first instinct was "get Tony OUT OF THIS GAME! He's gonna get killed!" :laugh2:

Pretty good points. I wasn't thrilled with Suggs' low tackle on Brees. I'm the same guy that loved Taylor blowing up the punter, BUT this is an all pro QB that was defenseless in the pocket and he got blindsided down low in an all star game. Not thrilled if I'm Brees or anyone associated with the Saints.

I hate the pro bowl. It's an exhibition game that means absolutely nothing. At least in baseball, they're playing for homefield. To have your best players go down w/ an injury for a game that means nothing seems nonsensical to me.

And unlike other sports, it's after the season's over. After the superbowl, who cares?

I realize that it means a lot to the players (bonus clauses in their contracts), but I for one would be delighted if they did away w/ it all together. They should just have an all pro team on paper, like Madden's.
