ProjectPat Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Seen something on NFLN where they were talking about, If you don`t show or play, you don`t get credit. This would effect allot of players if this was the case. Any ya`ll hear anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Grid Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Anyone who'd say that is a moron. Was faulk leading the discussion? Especially with the abortion the pro bowl has become, I doubt you'd find too many people who'd be willing to say anything matters outside of the list of players that were originally selected.

papazoid Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 ALL players MUST make an appearance on Sunday only, they (injured & super bowl participants) do NOT have to play in the actual game. super bowl participants are being allowed to leave at halftime. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/...ce=rss_breaking P.S. - i did see another story where the colts are "testing" this rule by claiming that one of their injured players (Feeney) "may" under the recommendations of his doctor , need to stay behind for treatment of an injured ankle.

silvermike Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 As far as the death of the Pro Bowl goes, note that you can go to the NFL's website and buy a seat right now if you felt like going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Byrd was voted to the team, so yes, he gets credit. Alternates who had a chance to go as an injury replacement, but who were injured themselves, do not. (Believe Kurt Warner falls into that category.) Also, I think getting voted in is the only way to collect on any Pro Bowl incentive clauses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocwocka Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 don't remember who...but one player blew out his knee during one of the contests. Robert Edwards blew out his knee after winning rookie of the year award for the Pats*. They were playing on the beach on Jimbo Kelly's team. That was like 15 years ago, so i don't know why that would impact the skills comps now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 So, do they black out the Pro Bowl in Miami if it fails to sell out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
