Can we do away with this game and just have the players play Madden against each other. One notch ahead of the NHL All Star game if that's a plus.

I really love any Ravens player, but this pro bowl thing just feels a little shallow to me. Just considering how it is played these days as pure entertainment theater like WWE. With players picking their teams and such, it carries no real value and dilutes the reason these guys are selected to the pro bowl. It was so much better with the original rules when the AFC played the NFC much like any other major league sport does.

I can tell the players really enjoy this. This is a reward for them for playing well throughout the year. Good for them. Glad they and their families were able to enjoy this too. It's a shame both sides can't win, but I guess in some ways they see it that way anyhow.

I agree 100%. It was more like tag towards the end. I still think it should be played after the superbowl so the All Pros in the super bowl can participate.

It's fun in the sun. Like the old days when Otto Graham coached the college all stars. Nobody gets hurt. It's only supported by the Honolulu Chamber of Congress and the restaurant hotel syns. It's a complete waste of time.

It's really a simple fix but they won't do it, Bring back the skill competition and stop playing the actual game. Everyone loved watching the competitions and hardly watched the actual game.
