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?

Actually, I thought of that after I posted it. That would be the one thing (a major one) that would cause the Pro Bowl to never be moved to that date.

I agree with you that there would probably be even less players playing in a game just before the regular season in August.
