keggerz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports...nt/7442593.html Running back Arian Foster, who led the NFL in rushing, yards from scrimmage and touchdowns, underwent minor arthroscopic surgery on his right knee today to repair cartilage damage suffered in the Pro Bowl. Foster started in the Pro Bowl and returned from Hawaii complaining about soreness in his knee. When rest didn’t cure the soreness, his knee was scoped. Foster would be ready to play in three weeks if this were the regular season, according to a person familiar with his situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningMud Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I just traded for him and Tate this offseason. Its things like this that still make me a believer in handcuffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boltnlava Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The NFL should just sh*tcan the Pro Bowl. That wasn't even touch football. I turned it off in the 2nd qtr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I like what the MLB did in that they added value to the game in that the winner gets home field advantage but I don't how that could translate in the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I llike what the NHL did... having captains pick their own teams from the pool of all-stars. Very cool twist IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I llike what the NHL did... having captains pick their own teams from the pool of all-stars. Very cool twist IMHO! I agree but they picked them 2 days before the game which is fine for hockey. The NFL would need to do this in advance so the teams can practice together. They really just need to announce the players that made the Pro Bowl and then just either leave it at that or do a skills competition but not play an actual game.

Savage Beatings Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 They could turn it into a Battle of the Network Stars kind of competition. Is Robert Conrad still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really just need to announce the players that made the Pro Bowl and then just either leave it at that or do a skills competition but not play an actual game. Do the players on the Pro Bowl team really hold practices? The thing is a joke, what is the point of practicing? If they did what the NHL did I probably would have watched it. This is one instance where the NFL could learn something from the NHL lol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 You can't compare the NFL to another major sport. Baseball is not a violent game. You can go balls out in an exhibition baseball game if you want. Hockey and, to a much lesser extent, basketball are violent games. But you can still have a semblance of the game if you remove the violence. You cannot remove violence from football. Nobody wants to get violent in an essentially worthless exhibition game, so you end up with a travesty. And there is nothing that the NFL can realistically do to provide the players with incentive to get violent. Sh*tcan, I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
