bizell Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 i'm not going to go out of my way or make plans to watch the game, but if i happen to be flipping through the channels I might check out what's going on for a few minutes.
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 i'm not going to go out of my way or make plans to watch the game, but if i happen to be flipping through the channels I might check out what's going on for a few minutes. That sounds like how you get your political opinions.
reddogblitz Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I'll absolutely watch. I love the Pro Bowl. Last chance to watch football until early August. Contrary to popular opinion, I find it an entertaining game. The players play hard and make some great plays towards the end if it's tight to try to win.
The Big Cat Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 No reason to start this year. Stay safe, Marshawn. That's all I really care about.
vincec Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 No. This game needs to be cancelled. It's absolutely the worst of the all start games. Practically no strategy, everyone who doesn't cop out with some excuse is scared to get hurt, practically no real hitting, it's played after the season is over... It's basically a pickup game in the park, which may be ok for baseball or basketball but is not really what football is about. Once you take the physicality out of football, it's not the same game. BTW- I love that Lou Holtz quote about your problems. I really looked forward to his "Dr. Lou" segments this year. That dude is surprisingly funny. The one about how he used to get his QB to throw fewer interceptions is the best...
stinky finger Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Where's the poll? Anyway, no, I will not watch. I'll be busy breathing and blinking.
bizell Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 That sounds like how you get your political opinions. huh? have i even posted my political opinions on this board?
/dev/null Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Depends what else is on TV Sunday afternoon. If nothing else is on, I'll turn on the PB for background noise
Wooderson Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I'll only watch if Peters is going to play...
billsfreak Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I usually do, at least part of it, but it will be the last year. I think the idea of moving it to the week prior to the Superbowl, and taking it out of Hawaii is an moronic move by the NFL.
Cornerville Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Have not watched it in 13 years and do not plan on changing now
DrFishfinder Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 ? Nope. I never understood the concept from a fan's point of view. I want to see two real NFL teams play. Not glorified flag football. My football season is over after the SB. But that's just me.
lets_go_bills Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Nope. Working. But I'd casually watch it if I was at home.
cantankerous Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Where's the poll? I tried to make a poll but I guess I'm too stupid to figure it out! lol It's fun to watch because you'll never see so many good players on the same team at the same time. In some cases you get to see potential regular season teammates for the first time... And Marshawn will be playing so I will be watching. Game is at 1:30 (west coast time) on NBC.

Wilson from Gamehendge Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 i always watch any amount and any kind of football i can watch. so yes, i watch this game every year. however, this year is different...it is marshawn's first. i will watch in support of him. GO BEASTMODE!
reddogblitz Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 ... everyone who doesn't cop out with some excuse is scared to get hurt, practically no real hitting, it's played after the season is over... It's basically a pickup game in the park, which may be ok for baseball or basketball but is not really what football is about. Once you take the physicality out of football, it's not the same game. I always hear this but when I watch the game I don't see that. Any football players knows the time you're most likely to get is hurt is when you're playing half speed. Plus once they get in there, it's football, and their instincts take over for the most part and it's game on. That's what I see anyway ...
