Trial balloon for a whole lot of silly and destructive rule changes.
To: Red Badger
The Pro-Bowl has got to be the most worthless All-Star game in professional sports. It’s timing guarantees that members of the two championship teams won’t participate so what’s the point?

Further cheapen? The nfl allstar game is the least attractive game of its kind. I suspect, without having read past the first sentence, that the nfl might be using these rules changes to see how they might work in the real NFL. NFL? Meet Nascar.

That’s what I was thinking as well.
If they want to make the regular season games more exciting, move the ‘Point-After-Kick’ to the 35 yard line............

Good. They should have scrapped it a long time ago. I think they ought to change it to an all rookie game.
To: Red Badger
The only all-star game that’s worth anything is baseball’s, and even then they introduced the inane idea of letting it decide home-field advantage in the World Series.

If it wasn't for a free week in Hawaii even the NFL players wouldn't pay attention to the Pro Bowl. Will the players still wear their home team helmets or is that too divisive? Or maybe they can sell sponsorship rights to the helmets to Nike and Budweiser?

That’s the problem. They want more eyeballs on the game so they can get more network ad revenue............

I got an idea, why don't we change the entire NFL format to having viewers vote for who is the best team by rating each player on a team via cell phones.
Each week a team gets eliminated (the one having the lowest vote total) and at the end the team left standing wins the Super Bowl.
The could call it "NFL Idle"...!

And at least the NHL has the Skills Competition, which is better than the actual All-Star Game, itself.
