I completely agree, I am much more excited for the Combine than the Pro Bowl.

Who are the two who voted "I like the Pro Bowl better than the Super Bowl." ????? They better just be disgruntled Bears fans.

Probably to be funny because it was an option.
I am shocked that Manning goes to it every year, I'm not sure why he does but I guess that it's interesting. He always gets beat in the precision passing part, right?
Anyway, like every All-Star game, the Skills competition is so much better than the actual game. The NHL is the best example of that though, it's on VS so no one would care anyway.

Hey, it's still football, isn't it? :)
Granted, the teams aren't exactly well-oiled machines, but it sometimes produces an entertaining game....a couple years ago, the NFC had one of the biggest comeback victories in NFL history, winning after trailing by something like 30 points in the second half. Not exactly a defensive battle, but at least it was explosive.
Also, it gives viewers the opportunity to watch several of the game's elite players at once...you never know when someone will do something amazing. In one Pro Bowl, Barry Sanders made one of the most unbelievable runs I've ever seen....even by his own lofty standards it was absolutely incredible, one of those, "Did I really just see that?" moves.
It is great football? Of course not. But football is kinda like sex, or pizza.....even bad pizza is still pretty good. ;)

I dont know why people hate it so much.
Yeah, it sucks. Just dont watch it. Its not hard to ignore it. No need to get worked up.
I never watch the pro bowl. Dont really care who makes it or gets snubbed. I could care less if terrance newman didnt make it or vince young did. And i dont know why people get worked up.

If you live in Italy you watch every football game they can show you.. We're not allowed to see more than 2 games a week.. And no NCAA at all, nor NFL films..

Obviously you haven't had really bad sex. I've had a few girls where I would just rather do it myself. I watch the pro bowl, because, well, its still football.

I watch it it is just for fun and a chance to see football one last time even if it is not real football if Will Shields plays it could be the last time he is ever on a football field as a player again so I will for sure watch.

So, did you guys hear who is going to be the holder for the NFC team?
Tony Romo. And no, I'm not even joking.

Why dont they just make the pro bowl a flag game with lots of downfield passing and stuff like that kinda like the senior citizen HOF flag football game. Nobody gets hurt and it can still be played in hawaii
