The 'new' pro bowl is dumb, however. No players from super bowl teams will go... it's not even in hawaii... I'd have to think that if you're a player whose team went out this week, say you're Adrian Peterson - you won't even be happy to be there, because your team ought to be preparing for the Super Bowl.

Say a team "gets" to play an overseas game. That means no homefield advantage. Fans pay so much money for season tickets etc. to follow their teams. So, to play it where fans can't go is not being very loyal to all the fans here that try to promote the freaking league by going to all the games.
Hell, maybe they could take the bottom two teams in attendence.
