Doesn't really matter seeing as how the actual Pro-Bowl game is "soft" so to speak. No quarterback sacks, no real pass rush, no competitive juices, flag football type defense, etc. Offensive dominated spectacle. I'll watch it if it's on television and lightly root for the NFC. I'd rather watch a preseason game, the more I think about it.

It was a very poor game, and now they've ruined the little interest that it had. It was supposed to be a game between 2 conferences, to see which one "supposedly" was the best. Now what will it be? Team of fantasy player number1 vs. Team of fantasy player number 2? Please, they better end it, once and for all!!!!

They need to have it as the lowest paid players facing off against eachother for a big payday. i'm sure many players will just get out there to prove something

Just turn it into a skills competition already! It'll minimize injury possibilities (and many 1st balloters WON'T decline the game because it's not physically demanding), players still get a trip to Hawaii, the NFL gets plenty of time to PR the hell out of it, no helmets = more "face" time for the players, plenty of time lapses for filler/promo/interviews/player highlights, NFL could present awards in a quasi-ceremonious fashion (MVP, O/DPOY, O/DROY, etc), best of all, no watered down football. It's a win, win for everyone.

I like the Idea, but seriously getting rid of kick returns? that takes out so much fun, I hope punts are still there

I do like the "Skills Comp" idea, but somebody will pull something or blow a quad and then **** will hit the fan.

jtswag, get used to the idea of no kick returns. Head trauma awareness is getting more and more prevalent each season and the NFL is not going to risk hundreds of millions of dollars in possible insurance coverage just so people can see a kickoff taken to the house one in a while
