Dump the game.

Flag football would be more entertaining than the cr*p that I've seen at the Pro Bowl the last few years.

Remember when the rookie for Green Bay (I think) got a career ending injury in a flag beach football game at the Pro Bowl?

They might go harder in this than the actual game.

Might as well make all the games this way. You can't really hit anyone anymore. You can barely look at a QB without getting a penalty.

I wish I could find the post I made during this past Pro Bowl saying they should make it touch football game because that’s basically what it’s become. They’re moving closer to doing away with the Pro Bowl game.

Honestly No one out side of people local and families their watch the game. look at the ratings its terrible. You could do an expanded Skills Comp morning of the game and then do a flag football game, but no need for offense / defense Lines really

Enough, just eliminate the meaningless game like I complain about every year. Put more skills contests and let the fans have fun.

Lets turn it into a Chutes and Ladders competition. Or perhaps a spelling test.

A bunch of players spinning around and diving for flags, what could go wrong?

 

[Hagman]

The game is garbage. If they keep doing any kind of all star recognition, turn it into a punt/pass/kick/skills competition and eliminate the facade that they are playing an actual game.

 

[Proof]

why’s everyone care so much? lol

Ooh, a spelling test. Now that would be entertaining!!

Pro Bowl events are more entertaining than the game itself

Even the pro bowl skill challenges are becoming a joke. Some of the players don’t even put any effort in those. Tyreek Hill just jogged through the fastest man race. It’s obvious players just go there to have some fun and goof around. Years ago players took the pro bowl game and the skill challenges seriously. I’m sure the pro bowl ratings are getting worse every year. Most fans don’t care to watch the game.

Actually it was the running back for the Patriots.

Dump the game.

I got to where I watched a few minutes of it here and there. But last year had no desire to watch any of it, so didn't.

I haven't watched a pro bowl or allstar game since forever. I don't even watch the highlights. A preseason game is a game that doesn't count. But the players are trying, and it means a lot to certain players, so I'll watch some. But a game that doesn't count with players that aren't trying? Why would anyone watch that? Dump it.

Briefly I started watching MLB Allstar games because they put WS home field advantage on the line. They ended that condition, and I no longer watch. No biggy to me.
