Aloha Hawaii: NFL considers canceling the Pro Bowl
http://twitter.com/#!/MikeAndMike/status/195488877451022337
ESPN’s Chris Mortenson is reporting that the NFL is close to canceling the NFL Pro Bowl for this upcoming season and possibly forever. The all-star game has always been a complete joke and basically a glorified flag football game because the players don’t want to get hurt.
If canceled for good, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would consider implementing some sort of skills competition to honor the players.
Looks like the Pro Bowl might actually get suspended for this year. Bold move but I totally applaud this.

If Pro Bowl is done, it will be replaced by a big game of Pictionary in Hawaii to determine conference supremacy.

Pro Bowl could be suspended. That's what it gets for elbowing James Harden.

They are considering suspending the Pro Bowl this year? It's been dead for about ten years now, players just kept going to Hawaii for fun

If NFL can turn unveiling of new (& exactly the same) jerseys into successful day-long event, why can't they make the Pro Bowl interesting?

And the NFL is taking about doing away w/ the Pro Bowl. I'm fine w/ that. It's a joke anyways. Just name the players as PBers. Skills comp?

@MikeAndMike the pro bowl is the only "Allstar" game that doesn't have activities all week. All they need to do is spice up the week.

Wow. I know the Pro Bowl isn't all that exciting anymore but I'm still shocked they might get rid of the biggest sport's All-Star game.

I knew the NFL commish is a tough disciplinarian and all, but suspending the Pro Bowl? It's not even a person.

We believe the NFL could do one of two things. They could do away with the Pro Bowl completely and replace it with a skills competition, which would likely be more entertaining than the game anyway. Or they could wait and play the Pro Bowl in May or June when there’s no football on TV, which would likely enhance ratings.
Time will tell…
