Rodgers says NFC players "embarrassed themselves"

[Doc Holiday]

As will the QBs of 30 other NFL teams........

if you are just counting NFL starters it's just 29, not 30 because you are already counting Rodgers

[bigdog10]

I wish they would cancel it. If they play hard and a superstar blows a knee, there will be rioting

[XLR8]

So if Rodgers doesn't like how they handle the Pro Bowl then why don't you go to the Superbowl? Oh wait.

[BBQ&Beer]

I HATE that they got rid of the skills challenges.

Yup... they should scrap the game & just have skill challenges. If the NFC wins more events they win the pro bowl & vice versa.

[chef17]

Instead of $50K to the winners and $25K to the losers, the pro bowl should be $100K to the winners, and the losers get nothing. Plus the NFL should start some sort of punishment to the guys that dodge it without injury. Or just make it a celebrity flag football game like the old rock and jock football games.

What? Punishing players for not wanting to play in a meaningless game that does nothing for them or their team is retarded

[PantherBoy95]

Heck yeah I miss the skills challenges. The Fastest Man, Best Hands, Strongest man even the obstacle course thing they were all entertaining. I even enjoyed the Pro Bowl in the first half even if it was only a practice level intensity...I HATED how they came after Cam though, I left the night frustrated.

[Gazi]

They should make it where winners get 100k and losers get zero.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Yeah, A-Rod played his heart out with all those blitzes he saw when he was on the field. What a tool.

Stuff like catching footballs out of a hot-air balloon from different heights?...didn't this guy do that at some point? I think I remember him saying "If you can touch it, you can catch it."

Wow...I'm in agreement with you.:rofl:

Anyway, can you imagine the insurance going forward for guys playing in the Pro-Bowl if they implement such a thing?

IMO, the only players who should suffer any injuries playing in a post season game are those players who made the SB. Much different ball game.

[footballisasport]

They should make it where winners get 100k and losers get zero.

Most of those guys will simply take the honor and run. Who is going to risk off season injuries or even worst, career ending injuries, playing in a post season event that isn't giving their team a championship?

[Cat'sGrowl]

Does anyone have a pic of Smitty doing the Supercam pose after his TD? Hilarious.

[antame]

This year's Pro Bowl was better than it ever was before. People are actually talking about it, which suggests people watched it or at least some of it. Move it back to a week after the SB and no one has any opinion at all.

[Riverboat Ron]

How about the winner gets to stay in Hawaii, loser goes to Detroit?
