  • I always thought that Adrian Paul, who played in the Highlander TV series would have been perfect. He is like Connery 2.0

    But I think he is now too old. He is 56 now. This is an older photo.

  • Speaking of where the pro-bowl could be played, I'm not sure why this has to be in the same place every year. It would seem like a good thing to move around to non-NFL cities, especially markets they're trying to enter or expand into. Perhaps Mexico, for example, or an easy way to add another game to the London schedule. Maybe even China or somewhere.

    Of course, in this case you would need to ensure that the level of the play is at least remotely close to the real thing, if you just ship over what happens now it'd be pointless.

    Another option would be to tie it to the superbowl host city/stadium and make it a fortnight-long festival, with all sorts of shit going down, from 'catch a pass from Bernie Kosar' type sessions, to 'Q&A with superbowl winning coach...' and that kind of thing.

    They did have the Pro Bowl in the same city the week before the Super Bowl for a few years....and they changed that and went back to Hawaii. Your suggestion of moving it around is good.....London etc. Only thing is, they want the game played in nice weather, that is why they were going to Hawaii. Isn't London a bit dreary in late Jan. early Feb? Mexico City could work for that, and maybe some places in China....though in checking things out Shanghai gets into the 30s in January. Not ideal.

    However....with them going to Orlando, perhaps they may want to make it a tie-in with Disney. They can have the games in Orlando, Anaheim, Paris, Tokyo, and Shanghai, the newest Disney resort.

    I see also that Disney has a park in Hong Kong. I did not know this before.

    They had a Super Bowl in New Jersey in February.....the NFL could handle this.

  • Yes, London in February is grey, cold and rainy. Well, any time in Oct-arch is grey, cold and rainy. It'll be around 30-40 degrees (F), with a 50% chance of rain and some wind. Guaranteed.
