NFL replacing Pro Bowl with week of skills competitions, flag football game

Robert Edwards might have a cautionary tail for pro-bowlers playing flag football

If memory serves me right, he got less than $200K as an injury settlement.

Pro Bowl: 20 years later, the Robert Edwards injury is still a fresh wound in the Patriots’ memory

Wasn't that on the beach?

I believe so. That doesn't change the fact that I can see a larger than average risk for non-contact injuries for players that participate. I know I wouldn't want to play if I was a pro=bowl caliber player. Seems like an unnecessary risk.

More risky than playing in the pro-bowl game?

Based on the way they have played that the last few years......I would say yes........and if they play the flag game with the same "intensity" they have been playing the pro-bowl the last few years then they might as well not play.

I think they should have a rookie and 2nd year player game like they do (did?) in the NBA. Or like in MLB, when they have a the future's game with rising minor leaguers. Showcase the young dudes and offer up some money to the winners. I'd watch that. I haven't watched a second of a pro-bowl in years.....

Yeah. That was ugly

Last time I watched a Pro Bowl the AFC starters included Franco Harris & OJ Simpson

Only a matter of time before the NFLPA changes the regular season into a “skills competition, flag game” instead.

 

[Foosball God]

Why even bother at this point?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Just give them a trip to Hawaii and run a repeat of last years Super Bowl.

For me Marino was in the game. Never watched it again.

Was always by far the worst “All Star” game of the 4 major sports.

Just a waste of time. But….they have contract incentives tied to it and the host uses it as a little boom to their local economy.

It’s all about the Benjamin’s.

Money money money!!!

Apparently they haven’t gone to Honolulu since 2016. Had no idea. Few years in Orlando, COVID cancellation, now Vegas.

The AFC "Pro Bowl" QB's are Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Huntley and Derrick Carr.
I mean. No disrespect, but what are we really doing here?

 

[zamboni]

I have little doubt that Huntley will turn out to be the Pro Bowl MVP, just to make a bigger mockery out of it.

Did the Raiders trade Carr to the AFC Pro-Bowl team?
