Because football is a violent game and the players in the Pro Bowl are not going to play it violently since it means NOTHING.

Watch the game from last weekend. Look at the pass coverage and the tackling on running plays. Look at the "pass-rush" presented by the defensive linemen - - nominally the best in the league.

The Pro Bowl is flag football without the flags. Hard to make that a compelling contest...
