NFL considers dropping the Pro Bowl
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/goodell...6848--nfl.html

Quote:
NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL will consider dropping the Pro Bowl if the level of play doesn't improve, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday night.

Appearing on SiriusXM NFL Radio's ''Town Hall,'' Goodell agreed with host Michael Strahan that last January's Pro Bowl ''was embarrassing.''

''If we cannot accomplish that kind of standard (of high play), I am inclined to not play it,'' Goodell said. ''It is really tough to force competition, and after a long season, to ask those guys to go out and play at the same level they played is really tough.''

The league still would select a Pro Bowl team through voting by players, coaches and fans, because it is an honor, but ''just not play the game,'' he said.

The Pro Bowl will take place in January, a week before the Super Bowl, after the players lobbied to keep it, promising to upgrade their performances. Goodell and others were disappointed in the quality of last year's Pro Bowl, won 59-41 by the AFC and missing any semblance of hard hitting.

Wouldn't break my heart to see it disappear. Keep the selection process as a reward but skip the game. I haven't watched a pro-bowl in the last 6-8 years or so.

Have them take the pads off and make it a flag football game.

Or....Do the "competitions" they used to air on NFLN with the QB's and such running drills and earning points.

The Pro Bowl game itself is a joke. But players should still be rewarded IMO.

I've actually not minded watching the pro bowl recently. Although it woudn't be that sad to see it gone. Just hope they keep the voting on players part.

Haven't they "considered" this every year for the last 5 years? Put a bullet in it already.

I'd like to see a skills competition.

They used to do it. What happened?

I would be happy if the NFL replaced the pro bowl with a skills competition.



Probably the best play Joey Harrington ever made.

Near death injury to Patriots running back Robert Edwards.

The guy nearly lost his leg in a pre-game festivity.
