    Time to do away with the Pro Bowl. Yes, gives guys something to aspire to, in regard to performance during the season, but the game itself is a joke. Boring waste of time. I suppose the NFL builds more funding, can't imagine how much though given the game is way out of most people's normal travel routes except for vacations. Likley attracts locals and SOME diehards, but how many people actually chase the Pro Bowl ? Nice to see talent playing with like talent, but it really doesn't portray much anyway, they don't necessarily bust thgeir rear in this game. How many put much credence in AFC vs. NFC ? Even the players look bored !

      I wouldn't do away with it because I know the players enjoy it, at least everything leading up to the game. I personally never watch it but know people that do. It is what it is....and and far as traveling is concerned, it's more for the players than anything.

          the rest. It's insane.

                lol you would post something this stupid. Chris Letang played in the All-star game and obviously Malkin and Crosby were named but you knew that already. Let's see Pro Bowl or Super Bowl? lol

                    Alex Mack scored a touchdown.

                    i was pleased by the effort put out by both Mack and Thomas. while Joe seemed to be giving at least 90% all game (that's pretty admirable imo), Mack may have been giving 95-100%.

                    good showing by the Brownies, the AFC didn't lose because of them.

                        I remember not to many years ago the players played and tried, now its a fuking joke.

                        Here is a thought get rid of the pro bowl and the all pro tag that comes with it.

                        because they played and looked less like pros and more like bitches.

                        If the players complain about not having the all pro label and I were Goodell, I'd say to bad you did it to yourselves by playing like a buncha chumps.

                          It can't be laid entirely at the feet of the players when you have rules like

                          No defensive shifting

                          MUST play 4-3 ENTIRE time

                          No Pass Rush or Blitz

                          Must play a Tight End

                          CANNOT line three receivers up on one side

                          I've seen pee wee games with more excitement. The game is a joke, and a hallmark of the stupidity embodied by the Goodell NFL...

                            Last time I checked the Indians were pretty much becoming the Pirates of the American League. Let's no revel in Pittsburgh misery brought about by a system that basically guarantees we'll be in the same boat given enough time. And Crosby is a homo huh? I smell the jealously of a Cleveland hockey fan so hateful of an opposing city they would've supported cutting the Lumberjacks ties to the Penguins ( a move that would've cost the city its team had San Jose not picked us up) What a dumbf$$k...

                              Let's really study 'dumb' here.

                              To me, dumb is a fan of a team that is in the super bowl - during super bowl week mind you - sitting in front of their computer screen on the message board of a rival team that went 5-11 last year.

                              Especially carousing topics in which the title doesn't include your team. It just shows that you're life is that much more irrelevant. It was a topic about a boring pro bowl. Yet you (TWO OF YOU nonetheless) enter in and then spew stupid crap followed up by calling our fans dumb.

                              As if every person on this board doesn't understand why there were no stoolers in the pro bowl. Thanks ever so much for clearing it up for us, Einstein.

                              Get a life, dumbass.

                                I remember not to many years ago the players played and tried, now its a fuking joke.

                                Here is a thought get rid of the pro bowl and the all pro tag that comes with it.

                                because they played and looked less like pros and more like bitches.

                                If the players complain about not having the all pro label and I were Goodell, I'd say to bad you did it to yourselves by playing like a buncha chumps.

                                It can't be laid entirely at the feet of the players when you have rules like

                                No defensive shifting

                                MUST play 4-3 ENTIRE time

                                No Pass Rush or Blitz

                                Must play a Tight End

                                CANNOT line three receivers up on one side

                                I've seen pee wee games with more excitement. The game is a joke, and a hallmark of the stupidity embodied by the Goodell NFL...

                                No pass rush as far as no more that 4?

                                Is don't tackle in the rule book?

                                The play where mack scored the o and d line men stood there.

                                must play a T.E. that rule don't bother me. A T.E. is in the game most of the game anyway so I don't see a big deal.

                                And I think you meant to say no offensive shifthing, again no big deal.

                                since more teams play a 4-3 I think that's why you see that scheme.

                                But come on I can't see how you put that on the rules because the game I watched had very little to no player effort.

                                I think that's why the fans could care less.

                                  Instead of playing in the probowl they should make them play jeopardy..

                                    I was just saying that the rules are symptomatic of the malaise related to the game itself. The players sucked eggs, no argument. But the way that the game is structured doesn't encourage them to try. It's before the super bowl now, so we can't even pretend like we want to watch cause its the last NFL game until the start of next year's preseason. Players like Tom Brady fake injuries to avoid coming. And I for one find it difficult to root for either side when it consists of millionaires chanting about winning the bigger check and getting a new car; or paying the hotel/travel bills of their family members/posse. At least they pretend like its about the team during the rest of the season.

                                    I also think All Star games in general are becoming shit. Does anybody seriously watch the NBA game anymore? And this past year's MLB game was 4+ hours of kissing the ass of the late George Steinbrenner and all that did for (read "to") the game of baseball. That bastard helped establish a system that has crippled half the teams in the league from ever having a legitimate shot ever again.
