NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell likes just about everything so far regarding this one-year test of having the Pro Bowl played before the Super Bowl. Sometime soon, the league will decide if it wants to continue with this plan. "What we're seeing is a lot more attention on the Pro Bowl than we've ever had before," Goodell said. "And that in and of itself is a success." Source: NFL.com
I don't get how its a success. You have no one playing of the two best teams, several banged up from the two teams that lost the conference championships, and several of their replacements saying no because of their own injuries who might have played, if they had a couple extra weeks to heal up. This isn't really an All-Star game, IMO.... it looks more like an "Almost-Star" game.
It's earning the owners money during a recession, so yeah. He doesn't really need the press, the Pro Bowl is making them money, and continuing to dumb down the average IQ of the "New NFL" fan... hboy:
c'mon hh, is there sill an original starter left this year? They are the replacements replacements....
