Im pumped for this. Watch it every year and it is fun to watch these kids give it their all about to join the NFL
yeah i watch it every year basically to see who would be a good fit with the eagles and just because it is one of the last games of the year.I never miss any of the last games.
Yep. I will tape it if i can't be there to watch it when it airs!!! These young talents playing in this game are the future of the sport we all love!!!
They have cut into the Senior Bowl Pracitce for a Tony Dungy Press Conference he is returning!!! Im lmfao
Is anybody concerned of the coaches that coach these games, meaning ones that have trouble winning for the kids? I feel at times the coaching seriously lacks at these games, like they're more like an exhibition fun game rather then a serious game. I hope it's a good contest though, but I wish the coaches they get take it more seriously.
