NFL will consider eliminating the probowl

[TheMostInterestingMan]

You're being generous to call that game a scrimmage. That was a show. Jerry Springer is more believable than that garbage was. Bring back the skills competition!

[Herbert The Love Bug]

They should. If they do anything they should play flag football on the beach or something

[Reapuh]

I don't know if Steve would be up for some flag football after what happened last time. :lol:

I loved that they moved it to the week before the SB, because that was a long wait from the last Playoff game to the big game. But as someone said, why not put the award show in its place? Announce all the awards live (so nothing leaks). That'll fill that week up.

The skills comp. was always awesome

[Cat'sGrowl]

either that or you could do a rookie vs sophomore NFL game. Maybe if you get all young guys out there they will still have a chip on their shoulder and want to compete....

That would be a blast.

They could eliminate it, and in its place just have an All-Pro team from each Conference announced at the NFL Honors show.

Because it's detracts from what the NFL is clearly trying to do-which make the Super Bowl a week long event.

Pro Bowl on Sunday, Media day, Awards show..

It's pretty obvious the NFL is trying to make this into an extended spectacle-I imagine they'll replace it with something else-if this isn't just a threat to kick players into gear.

That's exactly what this league needs, less football.

No wtf NO...even with the half a** effort I enjoyed it while I was busy looking up and seeing some of the plays. Defense or not, honestly. The only thing I DIDN'T enjoy was hearing the boo's towards Cam when everyone but the NFC O-Line turned it up in the 2nd half.

AND WHO THE HECK TOLD THEM TO ELIMINATE THE SKILLS CHALLENGES!

[SOJA]

would they still have the status of all-stars just not actually play the game?

[rayzor]

send them to hawaii for a skills competition, awards ceremony, and vacation.

find some way to keep the agents away so there's no vulturing of players.

fix the voting so it can't be abused by the fans while they are at it.

just get rid of the stupid game.

i'm glad that others are seeing it the problems with it.

I knew Cam played bad but dam.

Something tells me Cam is not the reason why Godellle wants to do away with the Pro-Bowl.

Sidenote...have any of you treked over to the NC sports site? What's with all the Cam hate coming from the Panthers' fans of all people?

[KillerKat]

It's just a threat to make the players play harder.
