devland Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 All star games, old timers games and hall of fames are the stupidest things in sports. No matter what the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The NFL should force the Pats* to be featured in Hard Knocks next year, could be epic interview massholes on the Brady for president campaign Deflategate appeals, if the needle does not fit you must acquit BB working on new ways to cheat, drones? Live feed from Gronk parties Pats against the world or are they just misunderstood, we need to know more... X-files guest appearance? the truth is out there They'd love all the extra cameras, I'm sure ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The pats just taking their ball and going home and also thumbing their nose at the league. Cheaters and poor sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebag Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'd turn it into a "Superstars" competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 They should just scrap the game it an give the players their free trip or free pool coverings or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwichjetfan Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Skills competition would easily be the best thing. I swear I remember some years ago the NFL tried it out. This was at the height of Chad Johnson's career because there was one competition when WRs had to stand there and there were 4 throw machines - one in front of him, behind him, and to either side of him, and he had to turn and catch the ball at different speeds and different heights, and he won. They also had an RB competition where they had to run through a sort of obstacle course, and a couple of QB competitions which included distance competition and accuracy competition. If I recall correctly, they also had DB, lineman, and LB competitions too but I can't remember what they were. I also remember Neil Rackers winning the kicking competition, as I used that as basis for drafting him in my FF league the next year, lol. So young and so stupid. All in all, I think something like that is far, far, faaaaaaaaar better than the game. Also, the best of the best would probably actually want to come to something like this too.

the Claw Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 someone (maybe Drew Magary) wrote that in Australia, during the finals of their "super bowl" they take the 10 fastest players in their league and have a footrace during halftime with the winner getting $50,000. I'd much rather see something like that than a Pro Bowl. Kinda like NBA dunk contest Yeah, it's during the AFL Grand Final. It's a fun thing they do during halftime. No big huge performance (there's usually a band that plays but it's not over the top), no massive light show, just something to keep folks occupied for the main break. Usually, during season games they have kids' leagues play a quick game (they setup a WAY smaller field for them). It's pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I almost went to the pro bowl once about 15 or 16 years ago. I just happened to be one my one and so far only trip to Hawaii and I considered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 no way would they do a skills competiton their agents would be too afraid it would hurt them in the next contract talks, they will never do anything where they might look bad you could probably get them to play poker, that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 You said the same thing back in 2001. How did that turn out? everyone knows how it turned out. The Pats stepped up their cheating to new and uncharted heights. That defines the Patriots next decade+. Nobody does it better. Never earned any of their asterisk rings. Complete frauds.

nyjunc Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 This is actually a good thing. The more players that refuse to go means possibly getting rid of it. Go with a skills competition instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnR66M5qe8o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 They'd love all the extra cameras, I'm sure ... I think BB would prefer death over the spotlight of Hard Knocks, maybe it pushes him over the edge, retirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think BB would prefer death over the spotlight of Hard Knocks, maybe it pushes him over the edge, retirement? Hes afraid the HBO cameras might pick up on their secret "film" room, their ball deflation devices, their frequency scramblers and locker room bugging devices.

bealeb319 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Really surprised that Butler backed out of it I would think he would want to attend his first pro bowl. Maybe a bitter Patriots team didn't want their players attending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
