I don't know if there is a right answer for the Pro Bowl, although someone mentioned an idea I thought wasn't too bad. Play it as the Hall of Fame Game every year. So the 2009 Pro Bowlers open up the unofficial 2010 season with the Hall of Fame Game.

As for the timing of the Pro Bowl, moving it back to it regular time table also means we're subjected to 2 weeks of Superbowl hype as well, which isn't exactly a great thing either.

I know injuries are part of the game...and will happen at times. But at least with the pro bowl at the end of the season a player who gets injured has all offseason to recover. Imagine being a colts fan and have Manning get hurt in the Pro Bowl/Hall of Fame game and out 3 months.

They are already talking about cutting preseason games to possibly 2 now you want players to play in a preseason exhibition that means less then the regular presason games?
