I agree with that...the game isn't even on my radar (and I'm a HUGE fan)...they need to bring some skills competitions into it like the NFL's fastest man, best hands, best arm etc. They do have alot of competitions during pro bowl week here in Hawaii. They may phase that out now | |

I love how the Pro Bowl is so relaxed because it's truly the end of the season. I realize it's not a huge draw now for a lot of people, but I fear it'd be completely lost in the Super Bowl shuffle (no pun intended).

Close in the fourth quarter? 42-30 final last year . . . But hitting harder late is competitiveness and adrenaline. Well Plaxico Burress ended his season without being anywhere near the Pro-Bowl. I just don't see the Pro Bowl having a major impact on player injuries. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

I forget his name but he played for new england. He didn't get hurt during the pro bowl game but some other event. He was running on the beach and twisted his ankle really bad. Think he was out for a year. No they do hit hard. Sometimes I see some pretty bad sacks and even the announcers are like "this is just the pro bowl". Ray Lewis always hits hard no matter what.Ego's do play a big part and these guys want to win. | |

Players do get hurt even during their own practices/scrimmages. You have to take in account that the pro bowl will be one week prior to the superbowl. Lets just say for an example Giants and Ravens make it to the superbowl. Now lets say players from both team do go to the pro bowl one week prior to the superbowl. You know if given a chance Ray Lewis would knock out Eli Manning. It won't be a scrimmage game for those players that have to play in the superbowl the next week. | |

No way would I allow my players to play in a pro-bowl just one week before a superbowl...there are too many freak injuries that could happen and if your player is in the pro-bowl, he's a HUGE part of your team. ![]() Hell, he could twist an ankle with no contact whatsoever. Those don't heal in one week. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol.

It's more a scrimmage because no one wants stress over having fun. Who gets injured at the Pro Bowl anyway? I thought you said you played football before? Yes. Everyone who plays football does not get injured besides the usual cut, scratches, scrapes and bruises. But the Pro-Bowl is kept basic. They even forbid certain plays. Yeah, they are going to be competitive but in the Pro-Bowl that evolves during the game. If someone is going after you 'harder' than seems reasonable, then it just elevates through the game. But it's not something anyone is 'going' for. But on injuries, you don't have to be on a football field to have a season impacting injury. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |
