Even with the changes applied to the game to jazz it up a bit.
Give it more of an identy.
Have former Pro Bowl players talk it up.
Devote four plus hours of air time to the pre game and game itself.
This game has no meaning. Only players getting hurt.
Time to retire it.
There is nothing to be gained from it.
Can't use it as getting home field for one conference or the other in Super Bowl - on a netural site.
Make it like the old time Bob Hope specials.
Have comedian introduce the teams. Show some clips of the players best plays of the year and call it a day.

I rarely watch any of it but it's not supposed to be a high stakes games. It's an exhibition and a celebration for the best players that year. I don't see the harm in it. It's one more week of some football. What's it hurting?

It should go back to being after the Super Bowl and mandatory attendance for ALL who qualify without a certifiable injury.

I enjoyed the Pro Bowl this year because there were a lot of Cowboys playing and coaching. Having Michael Irvin cheering them on was fun to watch, and J.J. Watt dominating was something to behold. Plus, the game was close down to the wire, and that's always fun.

I liked it better after the SB when the ALL the best players could spend the week in Hawaii. They held the different contests and events like fast man, strongest man, QB skills and the celebrity flag football game. The game itself is almost secondary to the week of interviews and stories. AND play the game Saturday afternoon/evening.

Kick the pro bowl out to nowhere. Replace it with the NFL's WORST team - whoever gets #1 draft pick by record (not trade or anything) - vs. College All-Stars. There used to be something like this eons ago, the NFL Champion rather than the worst team, but it was always a slaughter. Let's see the worst team instead.

I would rather see a Rookie game. Let Johnny Football try to throw to Sammy Watkins and Bridgewater to OBeckham. Go back to AFC-NFC.

Let the chosen Pro Bowlers get the honor, but make the kids play. They have something to gain by playing hard and getting noticed.
