  1. Former Ravens coach Brian Billick can be added to the list of those who don't agree with the NFL's requirement that the 14 Pro Bowl players from the Colts and Saints arrive in South Florida on Sunday, a day before their teammates to participate in all-star game festivities. "I wouldn't allow my players to go." said Billick, who coached the Ravens to a Super Bowl XXXV crown. "You're getting ready for the Super Bowl."

    I agree with Brian Billick, this rule is stupid. The Colts and Saints players who got elected to the pro bowl this year have a bigger game to concentrate on that takes place next sunday.

    100% Agree - who gives a heck about the Pro Bowl compared to the Super Bowl.

    All signs have pointed to this Pro Bowl date being an absolute failure. Everyone disagrees with this idea, yet Goodell's ego isn't allowing him to move back.

    Agreed... Although, I suspect he knows it's a horrible mistake but would never admit it to the media.

    If you were in that position Brian, I think you would be fined just for opening your mouth.

    A fine wouldn't be shocking. What would it be, $50,000 atleast?
