Just get rid of it already. No one want to watch it and no one wants to play in it

I might check it out this next year just because at least it will be something different and see different players playing together.

This is stupid. It's not like they actually ran the kickoff full go at the pro bowl anyway, no they claim they are getting rid of it due to player safety. Just get rid of the damned pro bowl if your going to start taking away pro bowl spots for players. They literally just got rid of the Pro Bowl title for kick returners. Just honor the best players at each position each year instead of pulling the honor away from a position because it's "too dangerous". This is just the first step the NFL is taking in order to completely get rid of kickoffs in general.

been saying for years they should just have a skills challenge for pro bowlers only

If we quit the pro bowl, kickoffs during season will go next, followed by flag football. I understand the sport is dangerous, but so is hockey and rugby. Are those sports changing their rules? They are changing the game for the worst, period.

Actually, the NHL just made visors mandatory this offseason. They're a few decades behind the NFL in terms of player safety. Who knows what they'll be changing 30 years from now.

—A two-minute drill game was announced that will make the ball change hands at the end of the first and third quarter, allowing for more two-minute drill scenarios within a game.

wouldn't that encourage teams to punt on the last play of the quarter(or next to last play)... so they get the ball right back?

All the changes are a lame attempt to make the pro bowl relevant financially. Read the changes and, yeah there gay.

The retired players play as hard in the pro's and joes game than the actual pro bowl.

I'll take the home run derby and dunk contest any day
