January 31, 201115 yr It's just a mess and none of the players really care. Heard one guy on ESPN even suggest they just have a banquet for the players and some fans.
January 31, 201115 yr I agree, somehow it had huge rating last year I believe. I don't know how anyone could watch that awful game.
January 31, 201115 yr The worst all-star type game of the major pro-sports. I think the best has to be the MLB all-star game.
January 31, 201115 yr Author Why they have it in Hawaii I'll never know, last year it was at the SB site and did a little better but it's still dumb. There is no marketing, advertising, build up, or anything to make people want to watch it. It's pretty pathetic that an all-star game could be so terrible.
January 31, 201115 yr Miles Austin was asked on a talk show about it and said he didn't even really want to go.
January 31, 201115 yr I watched a Pro Bowl 30 years ago. Was the most boring thing I've ever seen. Haven't watched one since.
January 31, 201115 yr Miles Austin was asked on a talk show about it and said he didn't even really want to go. That is bologna. He was asked to be a reserve last Friday and jumped at the opportunity. It is a choice to go. The Pro Bowl is terrible. I am confused how it does well in ratings compared to other sports. I like the idea of having an awards ceremony, like college football does before the bowl games get rolling.

I forget where I heard that but it was on some talk show I believe. I didn't hear it (From Austin) and haven't seen a link for it so you might be right.
January 31, 201115 yr Football is just not the type of game that translates in the all star setting. Its a game meant to be played at full speed, putting it in an all star setting is just doing the game a total injustice IMO.
February 1, 201115 yr I think they just need to have like a skills competition with the players, for the people who are pro bowlers. That would be more exciting than watching the game.

I will add that an All Star football game at the pro level is not that type. When health equates to future earnings, it makes for a bad watch.
February 1, 201115 yr Cant recall the last time that I watched any of the pro bowl. I can't remember at all either. I'd rather watch them do skills competitions.
