Why would the league decide to have the ProBowl a week before the SuperBowl?

Also in Miami??

The Pro Bowl is such a non factor of interest after the Super Bowl, what does the NFL have to lose by trying to move it to the same site as the Super Bowl?

A lot of guys dropped out of the pro bowl when it included the free party trip to Hawaii. More guys will probably drop out when it's in Miami.

As far as lm concerned the NFL can just cancel the Pro Bowl. It is the least enjoyable of the "All Star" games yet can have serious consequences to a team in the upcoming year. Or the player.

Remember that NE RB who blew out his knee so bad the doctors didnt think hed walk properly again, muchless play football.

And THAT was in a flag football game on a beach that, I believe, MTV was sponsoring prior to the Pro Bowl.

Yeah, the league needs to rethink this honor as it's steadly becoming more and more of a joke.

Maybe an awards show would be more fitting with a plack or trophy. Just sad.....

My guess is that the thing will get the axe within the next 10 years.

IIRC, it was Robert Edwards.

IMHO, the NFL just needs to bring back the NFL Skills competitions between the players and have them compete in this. There is nothing positive about blowing out a knee or a quad from a useless soft-as-Charmin-hitting football game.

The pro bowl is basically touch footaball with pads with the rules that are in that game. the reason it was moved to Miami this year is to see if they can get a boost in attendance. The last few years, the Hawaii location has been at 50%-75% attendance. So if you want to go to the pro bowl, tickets are cheap and easy to come by when it is in Hawaii.
