K D Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Pro bowl sucks. They need to change it to AFC vs nfc skills competition or flag football or something. Otherwise just get rid of it. Having said that our vacation house is an hour away so I'll prob go to the game since I'll be there anyhow
BarleyNY Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 That's doubly disturbing. First, they're still playing a Pro Bowl. Second, it's in Orlando.

Having said that our vacation house is an hour away so I'll prob go to the game since I'll be there anyhow Even flag football is too dangerous. Didn't a Patriot running back (name escapes me) tear up his knee playing flag football on a beach? I also agree, do away with the game.
bisonbrigade Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I live in Orlando FL. Hope to see Tyrod, Watkins, Hughes, Darby. McCoy in town this year.
boyst Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I imagine this continues to be a money grab for the NFL for a while. Any city willing to give them a big break gets the game
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 I would rather watch a pre season game CBF
SF Bills Fan Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 No offense to Orlando (i have a condo in Cocoa Beach and know Orlando well), but I think alot of the allure and reward of the Pro Bowl for players was the nice trip to Hawaii. I guess the draw for the players now is that the ones with families can do all the parks of Disney and there is less travel. I recall growing up back in OP in the 70's and we were friends with a lot of the Bills staff and families (PR etc.) and Ralph Wilson used to send everyone to the Pro bowl as a nice annual bonus. I remember them all being excited about going as Hawaii was still a little exotic at that time.
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 They need to reschedule this for AFTER the SB so that everyone who's earned a spot can actually play and keep this game in Hawaii or somewhere overseas...
Heitz Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Just announced Multi year deal CBF Somehow, I blame Rex Ryan for this

machine gun kelly Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 They need to reschedule this for AFTER the SB so that everyone who's earned a spot can actually play and keep this game in Hawaii or somewhere overseas... I couldn't agree more. Orlando the week after the SB makes a great deal of sense, and change the purse to $20,000 to the loser and $150,000 to the winner using corporate sponsorships. Turn the page back to AFC vs. NFC, and there will be skin in the game. Selfishly living 1.5 hours away would actually consider taking my boys just to maybe see the greats of the game. If it's after and the winning purse is larger, maybe they play a little harder. Probably never the lineman, but at least the skill players.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 They should move the Pro Bowl to the surface of the sun.
VirginiaMike Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 My comment to that "Who cares" -- it's a waste of time. I would say it's a waste of effort, but none of the players make an effort.
Nanker Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I keep seeing this on TSW and keep reading it as: "Pro Bowl to be held in Ontario". Need to start drinking more.
Best Player Available Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Has Vegas released the over/under on disney-world references and video cutaways By the broadcast team?
papazoid Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 cancel the game. eliminate "alternates". honor the real first team all-pro's with an ESPY/Academy Awards type show, during the off weekend prior to super bowl, in the same city as super bowl.
