Goodell pissing off Super Bowl teams...

[KillerKat]

Heard on "Mike & Mike In The Morning" that he's requiring the Super Bowl players elected to the Pro Bowl to come even if they aren't participating. What a dumbass. The Colts are pissed off about it.

[Henne Given Sunday]

what a fuging joke. they are trying to prepare for the biggest games of their lives....

[STIFFPAWED]

Maybe it will make both teams lose. Way to go Commish!

[Darth Biscuit]

I saw something about this yesterday... it said they were gonna fly down to Miami Sunday, fly back Sunday night then fly back to Miami again with their teams Monday? What kind of stupid is that?

especially when they can just stay Sunday Night

[DaveThePanther2008]

I am sure they are big boys and can spend the night without their head coaches holding their hands and tucking them in. To have to fly all the way back is idiotic.

Lets not make a big deal about this. They have already had a week and will have another week in Miami to prepare. I think they should go. The fans voted for them and they should at least make an appearance. Most of them won't mind hanging out on the sidelines for 3 hours.

Management needs to get a grip.

As the ole saying goes, one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch.

The direction the NFL is headed in is labeled serious trouble if they don't get their greedy hands out of their own asses.

It's ridiculous, all of it. It's like politicians part II.

Get it straight, and fast, or I'm done with it all together. It has gotten sickening.

Would you really stop watching because of the some whining around the Pro Bowl?

[jasonluckydog]

Those poor bastards have to go Miami and spend 3 hours watching a fuging pro bowl game....that's messed up.

[RockyTopVol]

What does "requiring" mean in this instance? I'd just not go and let him deal with that.

Problem solved

Mort: League, Colts resolve Pro Bowl issue

Posted by Mike Florio on January 27, 2010 5:05 PM ET

Well, there's won't be a boycott of the Pro Bowl by the AFC champs, after all.

Instead, the Colts and the league have worked out their differences.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that the Colts will send their Pro Bowlers to Miami via charter jet (reimbursed by the league), and that the players will spend Sunday night in South Florida while they wait for the rest of the team to arrive on Monday. This will allow any injured players to get treatment and to avoid two unnecessary flights between Miami and Indianapolis.

It's unknown whether the Saints will employ a similar approach.

[Zod]

Those poor poor football players. Being made to go to Hawaii. Fuck Haiti, lets send the players some support money.

[dimbee]

[jasonluckydog]
