The only thing I'll regret about not having a Pro Bowl. Otherwise? Yeeeaaah, the game and gamesmanship died a long time ago.
 
I quit watching many years ago.

About damn time. Players who deserve to be pro bowlers will be ones now. No stupid shit like Shedeur Sanders being named a pro bowler because 15 other guys were unavailable or passed.

What they should do is name Pro Bowl rosters and then play the game on Madden. No Pro Bowl alternates, and the selected players are free from risking any injury.

I mean hey, it would be at least as entertaining as the real Pro Bowl.

How about getting some of those Chinese robots to go out and play? I'd watch that before another glorified scrimmage.

Glad to see them acknowledge this game died years ago.

So very true. Back in the day players really took it serious. It was a proving ground
where players were there to show they were the best at their position, by out playing
the guys on the opposite side of the ball, who were there to prove the same.
Easier done with a 12- 14 game season.

Well and even in the 70s, guys had other jobs in the offseason except for a very few at the top so it was another game check
 
I remember Rams LB Jim Collins badly hurt his shoulder in a Pro Bowl game in the 80s. And that NE RB Robert Edwards ruined his knee doing a flag event on the sand. I'm sure there other injury examples. This game should have been gone a long time ago.

And I also remember the Playoff Bowl, where the losers in the Conf Title game went to Miami and played one another the week before the SB for some crazy whacked out reason. The Rams played in it one year and I heard Dick Enberg tell a story where he told his boy they were going to Miami, then the boy told his mother that they were going to "Dad's Ami!". Always remembered that when my own kid would hilariously mangle some expression.

That brings back memories of watching NASCAR drivers during lock down playing video games with the TV guys calling the race like it was real. It was the only thing live at the time that wasn't the news.

Great move. Now eliminate preseason and the NFL will be on a roll!!!!

NFL preseason is basically a showcase for a thousand or so players to have a shot at living our their dream and getting to say they played in NFL games even if they don't end up making it. Getting rid of it would be a terrible idea.

McVay has revolutionized it and its only a matter of time before every team follows suit, and have your preseason roster be chalk full of guys who can get that opportunity, and they play most of the games so they can actually get into a rhythm and show what they have.

The NFL should follow suit and make it fun as well. Have more on field entertainment during timeouts, make tickets significantly cheaper. Can even try out rule tweaks at some point too.
