Yetserday was the NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii. The AFC was sitting on a big lead in the second quarter that they let slip away from them in the second half. Did anybody even watch this game? I came across it on accident, flipping through the channels.
The NFC took a commanding lead, thanks to peterson and T.O. It felt very strange seeing garcia throw to Owens again. A big supprise that Derek Anderson was not throwing well. I knew that this guy was not the real deal, he is not Drew Brees, where he comes in under the radar as a veteran backup and become a hot shot. NFC wins the game 42-30.
What should the NFL do with the Pro-Bowl? No one cares about it anymore. I have heard that they shouldn’t even play the game, and just announce players as pro-bowlers. Isay they play it on the Sunday before the superbowl, excluding the players in the superbowl. Give these guys something to be proud of, they played hard all year and they should be playing in January.

I totally agree. The Pro Bowl is meaningless these days. I even heard they’re not allowed to blitz in the Pro Bowl.
And as a 9er fan, it was a trip seeing Garcia throw one to Owens. I can’t help but slightly feel that Garcia wanted to throw it at Owens more than throwing it to him…
You are quite correct. they are no longer allowed to blitz and also there is no more intentional grounding called, because they don’t want QB’s to get injured. Which means that there really isn’t a point to play the game. Either make it a game or don’t.
