Pro Bowl
January 27th 2012 20:18
This Sunday is the annual Pro Bowl played in Honolulu, Hawaii. Players are voted in by the fans, the coaches, and other players. Each one of those counts for 1/3 of the vote. The game itself has become worse over the years. Players play at 75% speed and basic offensive play calling with no blitzing from the defense. It is nothing more than a paid vacation for these guys.
Since fans have been allowed to vote this game has become nothing more than a popularity contest. Big market teams send more players to the game even when those players have a down year. Then they still play to what always seems like an empty stadium because the game is all they way out in Hawaii.
The NFL needs to do an overhaul of this game, not set up computers on the sidelines so players can tweet during the game. C'mon NFL! You are the best professional sports organization, there has to be a better way than this!
