The "Pro Bowl" is the biggest joke Iv'e ever seen
Seriously why do they even have this? It is completely obvious the players don't care. Look at the Offensive and Defensive Line for both teams. They aren't even trying, the QB receives no pressure from the D, and nobody is really even caring/trying. This game is a joke, no one takes it seriously. Atleast in the NBA/MLB they are competitive and mean something.

Your kidding about the NBA players trying hard in the all star game correct? They do not play defense!

there are rules against rushing the passer and no blitzing and intentional grounding is legal. i agree this is a joke of a game but it is because the type of sport is so physical and injuries happen so much (more than mlb and nba).

All star games suck period. Baseball is the only decent one but even there I don't really care.

They should just send the players to Hawaii as a reward and then make a reality show about it. Forget the game, lets just watch these guys make idiots out of themselves.

I agree with this. Make the 300lb lineman surf, and then watch as Brees, Rodgers, Big Ben, stand around with beers and cook a pig over a fire. It would be much more interesting than the game, IMHO.

You pronounced "Best league in the history of anything" wrong.
