2008 Pro Bowl: Open Thread

Bov, its great to have you! Thanks for coming and keep coming back.

I am interested on where you found us on Wikipedia?

I LOVE THE PRO BOWL!! im a chiefs fan, from KC,and i found this site off wikipedia.  i know the probowl is soft, but its awesome. high scoring,  MONSTER OFFENSE, trick plays, its got it all. its even got good cheerleaders!

You're right! A player who's kept on the bench or can only periodically play in the game never really "warms up" and therefore doesn't have a fair chance of becoming the MVP. This feels like a pre-orchestrated deal to make certain players, who are left in for the entire game, star players, and keep others in obscurity.

the thing is what they do in the probowl doesnt matter...I say unless the player is in a hospital bed...flat on his back... theymust be required to at least show up...and why have a MVP thats a complete joke... our man cant do what he is suppossed to do , so how the hell can he ever hope to get the mvp...lol

I would think that a player who is selected for the Pro Bowl would at least want to make a lasting impression in order to make his contract more viable and be selected again next year. They don't have to play to the extent of getting hurt, but I think the honor should lie in showing what you can! As you may have noticed so far, there has not been any hard hitting in this game at all as compared to regular season, so I consider this a meager representation of all the players. It seems as if they are there for the show and nothing else...

Yah these guys just dont want to get hurt...

I know they dont get much for playing the game, but they use it when they want a new contract fast enough...

they have their hands tied on deff... they cant do this they cant do that... deff. is a joke from the second they kick off... and then you add the players who just played playoff games... and have had about a month off and dont even show up.... I say if the player doesnt play dont give them credit for a pro bowl... dont even say they were selected... watch how many play then...lol when it hurts the old pocketbook.

Absolutely no defense... boring. I've been watching basketball and politics.

What a boring view is this Pro Bowl! I thought these were all supposed to be star players, but it seems that certain players are selected for the entire game, while others have been banned to the benches as insignificant rookies. It is my opinion that everyone of these players has proven himself in their teams, and they should all get an opportunity to demonstrate their qualities!!!

it isnt a game anymore...

I have seen JA playing LE/RE and I just saw him play DT. I would like to see him make a big play.

What does everyone think of the game that means nothing and none of the players really want to play.
