[Mister Sin]

Bout time. This game was utter garbage.

Agree 100%.

Really hope they have things like the "Fastest Man in the NFL" race, etc.
Other Random Ideas off the top of my head....
Long Drive Competition (lots of Players Golf)
Long FG Competition
Longest Throw
Slam Dunk Contest
AFC vs NFC Basketball game
Vertical Jump competition
AFC vs NFC 4x100 Relay Race
Homerun Derby
(Disclaimer: I haven't thought these through, just spit-balling here)

My kid loves watching the competition where players throw the ball at the targets.

The pro bowl gets surprisingly good ratings considering how weak the product had become. Cant see the NFL just giving up those dollars, they must be pretty confident that what they think will replace it will bring in the viewers. Skills comp will go a long way with the legal sports betting set up.....

Been to a few celebrity/football player golf tournaments....
otherwise known as, hard-hat spectating!!

Beer Chug would be top on my list as the 1st competition BEFORE all others are started.

I am genuinely happy for any football fan (or sports' fan) who enjoys watching the Best Football Players in the world doing something OTHER than playing football.

Personally, when my wife asks what are some good weeks to schedule vacation trips, I will tell her that I am Wide-Open the week of the NFL Pro Bowl Games.
