Report: Pro Bowl to be held before the Super Bowl, beginning in 2010

And since the Pro Bowl will be on the mainland, how about flying in fans from every NFL team, have them sit in the same section by conference, the conference that wins earns those fans another week and Super Bowl tickets.

 

Because everybody loves that baseball did that with its all-star game. :

 

they still play the pro bowl?

 

Hard to believe, ain't it?

 

Fixed.

 

They'll comp them tickets to the Super Bowl so they can sell them on ebay and make twice what it would cost to go to Hawaii

 

It makes no fucking sense whatever. Without the players from the two Super Bowl teams, you'll be reduced to watching David Garrard and Jason Campbell as the starting quarterbacks. This is the worst idea I've ever heard. They need to bag the game entirely, and just pick an All-Star team.

 

Or, some years you wouldn't get the pleasure of seeing Trent Dilfer and Kerry Collins and Rex Grossman.

 

Too much of a risk of injury. Players wouldn't play; teams wouldn't allow them to play.

The NHL all-star game is pretty much a joke without hitting and it's played at midseason. You can take physical play out of a hockey game and you still have some skills on display. Take physical play out of a football game and you have.... two-hand touch?

 

Flag football. Robert Edwards can come out for the coin toss.

 

Edwards actually had a couple of decent years in the CFL after the knee injury.
