    Is the pro bowl the most boring All Star Game? YES

    All of them suck, but the pro bowl is more boring than watching practice. Football is a game that can't be entertaining when played at half speed like hockey or basketball. Baseball is lucky in the sense that players can play basically 100% with little risk of injury.

    I'd rather watch some sort of NFL Skills Competition

    I don't think I've watched the Pro Bowl in over 20 years. Baseball is the only all star game I'll ever watch.

    It is terrible, I really wouldn't get paid to watch it. NBA weekend is by far the most relevant and fun to watch in my opinion.

    Would have to agree. It's the one All-Star affair I can't even get up for at all.

    NBA's is fun to watch - the whole weekend is done pretty well, especially with TNT's coverage.
    NHL can vary by year, but it's interesting seeing some stars on the same lines.
    MLB has been the best one for years - even before it counted for anything.

    5 dimes actually does have lines for wrestlemania. not that I'm investing in John Cena or the Rock, but I never thought it was something to wager on being its, you know, fake.

    It's like watching soft porn. What's the use?

    every all star game sucks. maybe if your are at the game and under 18 years old it could be entertaining. only reason to watch is if you have a couple bucks riding on the outcome

    if you think it's boring either bet enough to make it interesting or don't watch it.
    why would you rather watch a "skills competition" that you can't bet on?

    This would piss off the NFL establishment... but having a "playground" setting like hockey has done, and running 4 teams of say, 7 on 7 would be WAYYYY more entertaining...
