THE WHO CARES? BOWL

There are few dumb ideas that the NFL engages in. One that they do engage in is the NFL Pro Bowl, a game that no one cares about. It started when the AFL and the NFL merged, and they have yet to figure out who plays in it, and when to play it.

The ‘who’ plays in it is the biggest problem. No one wants to really play in it because of the injury factor. It would be a shame if an all star player, and that is what is suppose to play, were to get injured, and end a career on a meaningless game, that brings no prestige, no real money and does not even get the attention of a regular season game.

This is the only game to be played in professional sports at the end of the season. All other sports play in the middle. If you have players heading to the Super Bowl, do they leave their team and play? No they are excused! So if the best 2 teams aren’t represented, why even bother? Since the champs aren’t playing, shouldn’t it be the ‘Loser’s Bowl’?

The NFL seems to compound the dumb idea by staging it between the final championship games and the Super Bowl, when everyone is only thinking about the Super Bowl.

Tony Romo

Tony Romo had a pretty decent season. He didn’t take the Cowboys far, but his numbers were all better than last year, but he was not invited to the Pro Bowl. Cam Newton was, because he exceeded expectations.

By the way, who won yesterday’s game?

That’s all I wrote, folks!
