The pro bowl was great back in the 70's because the players were playing for money. Now for the past 20+ years with the higher salaries, elementary flag football is more exciting. Replace it with Adams College greek games. At least we will get some dam good PI.
Yeah- have the old Superstars competition like they used to do.
That was must see TV back when it started. Esp the Hawaian outrigger Canoe raceQuote:

Eliminate it
Honestly what I would do is have them play the game like a real football game with one big exception- that's the play is dead once the QB is touched. And if you tackle the QB it's a personal foul. Like a spring game. I think they should allow blitzing and things like that though.
They will keep it only if it makes the league money.
Make a fair part of their pay dependent on making and winning the Pro-Bowl - the way it used to be. Or have the rich whiners opt out of the Pro-Bowl and let those who need the extra income play.
