Seriously... What does everyone think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggsy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 def the draft, as comical as this is, I would tune in for the draft, not the game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tford Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 When the NHL did this, I loved it. Especially the part where Phil Kessel got picked last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggsy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In all honesty, I think this idea would bring a renewed fanbase to the worst "all-star" game of the four major North American sports. Does anyone not think this "draft" would not be on prime time hours for ESPN, NBC, FOX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 When the NHL did this, I loved it. Especially the part where Phil Kessel got picked last. That was classic, although he did win a car for being the last one picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 This has about as much relevance to me as Loreal changing something in their hair coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTSuper7 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The Pro Bowl is a joke, and this doesn't change anything. Actually, if you read about the other changes, one of them in particular doesn't sit well with me - no kickoffs. And as a result, there are no longer kick return specialists eligible for the Pro Bowl. Give me a break about safety. These guys in the Pro Bowl aren't playing that hard anyway... no need to take away kickoffs and to hose kick returners out of a shot at becoming Pro Bowlers. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9525557/nfl-makes-major-pro-bowl-changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone not think this "draft" would not be on prime time hours for ESPN, NBC, FOX? Oh I gaurantee that some of them (ESPN, NFLN for sure, less so NBC, Fox and CBS) will cover this ad nauseum, hours before, during and hours after. Like many others I haven't watched much in years, and may give this a little more attention than in the past. But I'm more inclined to watch reruns of a sitcom than really spend much time on this latest mockery of football. Why even play NFL style football, just pick your teams and play flag football, or some video game or something. Regarding the rule changes, I read a post on another forum from somebody specuating that this will give the NFL a venue to try out new rules for the furture. Which is kind of silly considering the relaxed style of play and other things that make the Pro Bowl a far cry from a real NFL game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I still probably won't watch it. +1 Throw Deion in there as one of the drafters and it becomes unwatchable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
