Redskins now have 5 Pro Bowler- Kerrigan and Fletcher to take Aldon Smith and Patrick Willis' spot in the Pro Bowl

Pro bowl is a joke. Seriously there is no need for it anymore

I watched all of about 1 minute. Somehow it manages to get ratings, though I'm really not sure how.

Personally, I think it would be a cool game if the players actually were motivated to play for real. And that would only happen if they had something on the line.

1) The winner of the game (NFC vs AFC) - would get $500,000 extra in cap money for each team in the conference.
2) Or whichever conference won -- each team in the conference would get one extra draft pick after all teams have drafted (ie. 8th round)
3) Or whichever conference won would host the SuperBowl (ie. give them some home field advantage). ie. San Diego = AFC, New Orleans == NFC)
etc..


These are just minor advantages, but perhaps just enough to give a little incentive to the teams/players.

I hate the idea of giving bigger meaning to an otherwise totally meaningless game. It's what makes the MLB all-star game a joke, IMO.

The Pro Bowl is a boring, meaningless game. Just make it a skills competition and perhaps I'd tune in.

Back in the day winning was enough motive for them to play hard. With that said the players also didn't make that much money.

The better football game yesterday was "The Replacements" with Keanu Reeves

4th play but you're close.

Nice first play of game...Adrian Peterson fumbled the hand-off from Brees. It was a good hand-off too, he just decided to slap the ball out of Brees' hand.

Maybe A.D is mad that he doesn't have Brees LOL

Interesting the Zo got as much play on defense as he did. I wonder if that was because the Packers coaching staff was impressed by him (and possibly wanting to evaluate him in person so they can sign him in the offseason) or because they were trying to protect the health of other guys.

Rumour has it that TW said he didn't like SPAM...

A champagne bottle could have killed him. Nice that you're concerned.

They ran concussion tests on him afterward.


Did you see that dirtbag's criminal history? You're really taking his side over Trent's?
