It’s even more of a pattie cake game than it was five or six years ago.

Not that I blame them. Why Jeopardize your career for a meaningless exhibition game?

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Was discussing this at the local hole over lunch. If they called it the flag football bowl I'd watch it, pro bowl not so much.

    The Pro Bowl is the most meaningless, ridiculous, stupid sporting event ever invented! It is a social and PARTY time for all involved. That's it. It is not a game. It is an exposition. Big difference!..... Best part about the PRO BOWL?.....The morning after the 1977 Pro Bowl.... I met future Lovely Mrs. Hydrant. Over hot chocolate and doughnuts. I decided then and there that she was the "IT GIRL" ... the ONE!.......Life has been a LIVING HELL ever since!.....FOOTBALL,FOOTBALL,FOOTBALL!!!!......I'm the luckiest man on Earth......well, me and #4.

    You can play exhibition baseball and basketball and have it look real. Football is another matter. Years ago the Bucks lost an up and coming running back, Robert Edwards, who tore up his knee in a beach football game that was part of the festivities. It wasn’t even in the game.

    Looks like Alvin Kamara was hitting bar patrons harder then players on the field during the game - :D

    {"New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was arrested hours after appearing in the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl on Sunday (February 7).
    Kamara, 26, was charged with battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, according to a news release shared by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
    The department said it responded to a report of a victim being battered at a nightclub located in the 3500 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard at around 5:50 p.m. local time."}

    Robert Edwards was with the Patriots. He'd just rushed for 1100 yards. He tore up his leg and only had 20 more carries in his career.
