Around the NFL - 2013

more the point, why are you watching it

[Don Ho]

Best nap I've had in years.

Watched the 1st half....probably the most I've watched of the thing since I was a kid.  Half decent football from a NFC perspective but the AFC looked like a hot mess.

[Zanshin]

I watched part of it, just because it was sort of football. They need to scrap it or find a way to make it relevant. The players that go aren't going to lay anything on the line for an extra $25k at the end of the season. So, now you have the top tier players bowing out with "injuries" and the players from the Super Bowl teams who can't go, leaving an odd collection of runners up. The players obviously don't care, which makes it hard for anyone else to care.

This is a sport that requires inhumanly large and athletic men to mash into each other dozens of times per game. The object is to brutalize the opposing team on every single snap. Having a meaningless, all-star, don't-get-hurt version of the game is a travesty.

The pro bowl cannot be fixed.  It's nothing more than a bush league marketing gimmick along the lines of Elvis Tuesdays or Hot Dog Fridays.

5 on 5 flag football, linemen take turns playing QB. Actual QBs do skill competition elsewhere. There, I've just fixed the Pro Bowl.

Donald Driver is retiring

[hbionic]

Funny, he's a guy that's been retiring for the past 5 years it seems.
