I'll care about it when it's gone. Then I'll happy. Approximately 5 minutes later, I'll forget it ever existed.

These changes will make it so I might be curious how they play out and watch this year. Most likely I'll continue not giving a fuck.

They won't be giving up the Pro Bowl because of $$$.

I'm sure they'll eventually make the winner get home field advantage in the Super Bowl or something.

It's the NFL, they'd still mess that up and make millions by doing something like giving home field advantage to the conference of the player that sells the most pro bowl jerseys

Can we replace the Pro Bowl with the Lingerie Bowl?
I might watch that.

And still meaningless and now with no conference pride on the line... who the hell is going to want to play this? Unless the game check goes up, I just don't see why players would even bother.

They are trying to turn it into some kind of backyard pickup game it sounds like.

Might as well take the pads off and break out the flags. Linemen have to wear beer helmets.

They NEED to bring back the skills competition. Every other pro sport does it... IMHO, those are better than the game.

Yep I'd much rather watch a version of NFL punt, pass, and kick than the game.

Yeah, pretty much. My thought is it's their attempt to tap further into the fantasy market by creating a live fantasy game. Also, new jerseys/helmets to sell to the people who buy up anything and everything about certain players.

Sadly, that jersey shit works. Those things sell, and every time I see them I want to punch the dude wearing it.

I try to think of it like this-r every stupid licensed jersey someone buys is that much more money toward keeping ticket prices down and (most) games on free broadcast TV.

You have no idea how eager I am to get a Tebow New England jersey. The amount of mad it'll generate will be truly prodigious.

The new Pro Bowl format would be improved if all the players had to line up and the two captains got to take turns picking who played for them in front of the crowd. High-school physical education class all over again!
I wonder who'd get picked last.

I can answer that questions already. The other guys? They can't fill in. Bulaga was the best tackle on that fucking team. The other guys were adequate at best when healthy and they haven't been that. The Packers better use some of that goddamn cap space and find a decent left tackle fucking somewhere, because if Rodgers is going to have to run for his fucking life again this year, they are going to cap out at a 1 and done playoff run.

You guys can have Joe Thomas for this year but only if you swap team names as well. /cry

The Packers also are intrigued with Young's mobility and believe he can help prepare them for the opening two games of the regular season, in which Green Bay's defense plays against San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick and Washington's Robert Griffin III. Is this just pure delusion or just bullshit to feed the press? You decide.

Vince might have been able to pull that off 10 years ago if he would have had his head screwed on straight. Not much hope of that now. In fact, there's not much hope of him making the final roster, IMO.

I really wish the goddamn Packers had spent the money they wasted on VY on a goddamn left tackle. I dread the day this fuckup gets into the Packers lineup.

I honestly think you'd be better throwing Randall Cobb in at quarterback, if it came to VY playing.
