Homey123 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I feel confident that this is covered every year about this time but... Anyone watch it? Look forward to it? Enjoy it? I used to like the Pro Bowl when I was more of a 49er homer fan and could look out for "my" players wearing those classic gold and red helmets. Now that I'm a FFL ho, it doesn't hold much interest.

FredGSanford Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I'll admit it, I watch the Pro Bowl every year. The whole game! I can't help myself, I will watch any and every NFL game they put on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 No all-star game, no matter what the sport, means much to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_lung Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 The only thing that bothers me about the Pro Bowl are the restrictions on defense - like a ban on blitzing, which lessen the danger to life and limb but also diminish its resemblance to a real game. Given the outsized risk of injury in any football game, it's not surprising that players participating in a meaningless exhibition rarely display their normally unquenchable ferocity. Blowing out a knee in a playoff game is tragedy. Doing so in a Pro Bowl is farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants to see a guys life change over a meaningless game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I will watch the whole thing. It's a long time before another game...... :bawling: The Pro Bowl is really a player's game, they love the free trip to the islands, and love being considered an NFL elite, well, for most players anyway.
