Jus' wondering, does anyone care about the Pro Bowl?

[stroker]

Can't say I do...

[RTKar]

Not at all.



NHL All Star game. Check in once and awhile.

One of the all-time top 10 WGAF events.

[nissan gtp]

nope

It's in Hawaii, isn't? :D That's about the extent of my interest.

Truthfully, I've watched parts of it from time to time throughout the years. The guys there generally looked totally gassed from a full season of football. Only exception is one or two who are there for the first time and want to SHOW SOMETHING. Generally snoresville.

I watched the giggles fest that was the NHL AS game, so my quota of meaningless games has been filled for the day.

I have it on as background noise, and occasionally I look @ it when I lean over to fart. :gomer:

I watched for the first time in ages since there were Bengal players there that I actually like. Pretty much a farce. They should just show the players playing Madden intercut with segments of the cheerleaders playing beach volleyball.

[Gnam]

They should play two-hand-touch or flag football without pads instead.

+1 for beach volleyball.

Roger Goodell agrees. Play for real or get someone else to pay for your vacation in Hawaii.


"I'll be honest with you, I was a little disappointed," Rodgers told ESPN Milwaukee. "I felt like some of the guys on the NFC side embarrassed themselves. There should be some pride involved in a game like that, and I was just surprised by some of the efforts by some of the guys."

Goodell is being a little harsh. After a few days in Hawaii the players are probably too sunburned and hung over to play hard.

what does goodell expect? play all out and potentially sacrifice your future payday for an exhibition game in hawaii of all places?

[mapguy]

Football = Rugby for pussies...

I don't think anyone expects an all-out game. But those guys play underpants football in the summer with more effort than they showed in that game. If they're not willing to take it seriously they shouldn't do it all.

Which is exactly what Goodell is saying.

Having watched England v Scotland in the Calcutta Cup this Saturday and then the Super Duper Bowl yesterday, you are not wrong...
