    I haven't watched the Pro Bowl in Over 20 years, but I didn't know it had gotten to this. Pathetic. Just let them play Madden. A waste of putting on the uniform Let retired players play.

        It really is silly, and meaningless. The players don’t care, the fans don’t care, time to eliminate it. Games a joke.

          personally i'd rather not see my team's franchise player get hurt in a game that means nothing.

                            why would it be the public that is offended, leading to this?

                            its business

                            How would you approach a 60 minute tackle football game....

                            If you had potentially 100's of millions of dollars at stake

                              I haven't watched a pro bowl for more than 3 mins since maybe 1989?

                              I'd be interested in skills challenges? do they do that?

                              I know that one dude had a sick sand football injury one year.

                                You want guys on non guaranteed contracts to go all out in an end of season exhibition game that has absolute no meaning or significance?

                                  Ya, wasn't it touch football all season long. If anyone looks a QB, especially pussies like Brady, it is an automatic 15 yard penalty and first down for the vag queen. That is the only reason Qbs like him can last these days. None of the greats of old could hold up because they actually took massive hits and weren't protected by refs 24/7

                                          The Pro Bowl is what it is. Either watch it, laugh and have a good time or if you hate it that much, watch something else. Seems to me like these guys are having a good time.

                                            Good to see Jason Garrett smiling and laughing it up coaching on the sidelines as his team gets shut out - - nothing new to see here.....

                                                Watched about 5 minutes.

                                                Saw 6 incomplete passes and 1 dump off with a guy running out of bounds as the defender grabbed him by the waist like they were going to dance.

                                                      always bet under in every single nfl all star game from now. Might be a good job. bet 30k a year on nfl under on the all star game never have to work ever again. Gonna save up 30k and do this full time.

                                                        fun idea, again maybe in a money vacumm and fantasy world.

                                                        but you are talking about guys that JUST signed a big contract that they can be cut from if they are injured. they've been off for over a month and now you are going to have them come back to "work" for this? these guys need a full off season to recover from their injuries, hell many of them are having surgeries right after the season ends.

                                                        are you going to pay them? if you pay the pros enough to make it worthwhile..... then you have real "tanking" type scenarios that could take place in week 17 of NFL

                                                        the college team will have 10 or more guys that have a good shot at being drafted or getting a FA rookie invite. They'd like to prepare for combine, right?

                                                        who wants to risk their whole entire future livelyhood on silly stuff so that degens can bet $100-500 on it, and not get disgruntled?

                                                        if you went to work tomorrow and they said

                                                        "Hey you do your job SOOOOO well. we are going to give you a chance to do more of that work...for free on the weekend. AND there is a 1-3% chance you'll get injured in that time and we'll decide you can't work for us ever again and we won't pay you ever again. Are you in?"

                                                          do you know what book limits are?

                                                          also have you looked at the scores from the past decade?

                                                            If both teams were fully prepared, cared, and had all of their players, the worst NFL team would beat the best college team by 50.
