6 reasons to hate the Pro Bowl, add your own

[HOUSE]

Nope, I never watch this game, the NFL ruined this game years ago with rule changes that make it boring, here is why I gave it up...

 

#1- Its not a game, its a show or better known as the BIG PARTY.

 

#2- 75% effort is maximum, a hard hit will leave players grumbling "WTF are you doing?"

 

#3- Sideline Player interviews are constant. The game is being played in the background

 

#4- Winning means absolutely nothing, there is no game plan. "Hey you, run a post, I will throw you the ball, Please jump real high then catch the ball with one hand, the fans will love this"......Wow

 

#5-The Best players skip this game, " I need to rest my body"

 

#6- This is a show case for the City, not the game

I don't hate it b.c it doesn't affect my life and I never watch it.

 

It's  outdated and just needs to be gone. If they want to do something nice for the players and fans do the skills competition and present the players with prize money in the form of donations to their chosen charity.

You can do a weekend of skills competitions I know the players would like along with fans.

 

You could also set up a sports science competition area.

 

 

 

No need to play a game which people don't try to begin with.

On the day of the 1991 pro bowl I returned home early with a case of beer, all set to watch the game and caught my ex wife on the sofa, having intimate relations with our neighbor, Big Pat (I never learned why they called him that).

 

To make matters worse, all Pat was wearing was an oversized Marino jersey which flapped around his girthy mid section as my wife slapped his a*s and yelled "you should have gone higher than Kelly!"

You will see a lot of obvious penalties especially off sides, the officials see almost nothing

They need to move it back to Hawaii

I used to watch it when they held it after the Super Bowl, simply because it was the last opportunity to watch football for another six months. Now that the SB players aren't playing, it's not even really an all-star game, and there's a meaningful game next week. Add in the fact that the Pro Bowl is a vanilla game at best - no motion on offense, no blitzing on defense, etc - and the players are focusing on not getting injured rather than competing for the win, it's pointless to watch.

 

And now, with one or two upstart leagues launching this spring, there are many more opportunities to watch football. Sure, it's not NFL-caliber football, but neither is the Pro Bowl. At least the upstart teams will be competing.

Total joke since it left Hawaii.

Competing to which league survives a whole season.

There is always that one guy entering free agency.

I think they should switch it to an "old timers" game. Broken hips as far as the eye can see. Now THAT'S football.

Back in the early 90's I was living in Buffalo next to this crazy lady who was always trying to get me to come over. I finally agreed to come over and "watch the Pro Bowl" with her and things went as you'd expect. We were on the couch, doing what guys and gals do, when some crazy dude in a German military visor barged in with a bunch of beer, tore of his clothes and then tried to join in! Needless to say I got the hell out of there and moved away the next week.

I don't know what ever happened to those lunatics but the whole thing sort of ruined the Pro Bowl for me.....

Beyond it being a joke for a while now?

You skipped the most important part: why do they call you "Big Pat"?

 

[T master]

The game use to have some meaning to it i remember when who ever won the SB would go to one of the winning divisions stadiums to be the host so the players played harder because it was a honor to win for their division but now it's just a big party .

 

I do like the skills tests between the players that seems to be a pretty fun watch but that's about it to actually watch the game not so much . I also heard that the players use to like going to Hawaii it was more enjoyable & they looked forward to it more for them & for their family as a vacation trip for them .
