BBTV Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 How to fix:1. Announce the pro bowl rosters, have it be a combo vote of players, coaches, fans, and the media.2. Keep it in Hawaii, that way there's still an incentive/reward for the players to attend and celebrate, whereas Miami's somewhere where they travel to play there anyway.3. Forget the game altogether. Just have a really, really badass skills challenge, which MANY more people would actually care about and be entertained by on television, which is what they're going for anyway.as I said earlier, these guys can go to Hawaii (or any other exotic location) any time they want to. They're not busting their ass in the season thinking "if I play really well and get two more sacks, I'll get that free trip to hawaii" when they're already making millions. They do not care about the trip. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

DDR Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Like many people, come April, May, June I really start having withdrawls for NFL football.I get so intense about the draft, I'd like to see the Pro Bowl then...it would give guys a time to rest.Just wondering, how does one go about "getting intense" for the draft?Right around the draft is when I'm at my most intense, too. I do three, maybe four mocks a day. My Big Board is pretty extreme.So you sit at your computer with furrowed brow and gritted teeth or something? Is your "big board" an actual board? Do you have a giant cork board or something with index cards etc? Or is the "big board" a figure of speech? What separates an "extreme big board" from a regular one? How long does it take to do "four mocks a day?" Are you doing all 7 rounds with all 32 teams? No offense fellas but this is cracking me up. To each his own I guess.I was just joking around. You know, playing off your comment.Flew right over my head.Nah, I guess when I wrote that, I was thinking of it being said in my best Jersey Shore meathead voice. Which apparently doesn't translate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 What were they thinking by moving this game before the Super Bowl? What's with all the watered-down talent out there like David Garrard? Why aren't Rex Ryan and Brad Childress coaching? Why am I watching this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerfan94 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well sure looks like everyone(players and fans) are enjoying themselves. Players are smiling laughing, joking and all out having fun. No pressure, no late hits, no one dead yet. Ray Lewis isint headhunting....looks like fun for these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, moving this game was a dumb idea.He replaced Percy Harvin as the return man, there really wasnt anyone else.....Lucky him? ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ok I thought this may be a good idea, but its awful. Put the game back in Hawaii after the Super Bowl. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren't Rex Ryan and Brad Childress coaching? Why am I watching this? Had they played it a week after the Super Bowl this year it would have been on the same day as the Winter Olympics, NBA All-Star Game at Cowboys Stadium and the Daytona 500, it will be back in Hawaii next year.

Cujo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ok I thought this may be a good idea, but its awful. Put the game back in Hawaii after the Super Bowl.I agree. Move it back where it belongs, the week following the Super Bowl. However, instead of playing it in Hawaii or at the Super Bowl site, play the Pro Bowl in foreign cities like London and Tokyo so the NFL doesn't have to play regular season games outside United States.

However, instead of playing it in Hawaii or at the Super Bowl site, play the Pro Bowl in foreign cities like London and Tokyo so the NFL doesn't have to play regular season games outside United States.There is absolutely no way this thing moves out of the country. Canada maybe but you can forget London or Tokyo. The player's union would never agree to it. Not to mention the fact that if you think the talent level is bad now, just imagine how many players would bow out if they had to go to Europe just to play in the game. I can see it now... "Ladies and Gentlemen your starting quarterback for The AFC...Brady Quinn!" "And starting at quarterback for the NFC...Jake Delhomme!!!" Isn't it bad enough that Matt Schaub and David Garrard were "pro bowlers" this season? That's the equivalent of Jeremy Sowers and Jeff Suppan being named the starting pitchers for The All-Star game. When the NFL's "all-star" game can't manage to get it's actual stars to play in the game maybe it's time to admit defeat and move on. How about we just put the game out of it's misery?
