NFL moving the Pro Bowl to the open week before the Super Bowl ...

I know this will be the unpopular thing to do, but I would like to see the fans vote eliminated. Too many computer stuffers, and uneducated fans voting.

Id like to see the voting done after the season is over

I agree too. The only good thing about the Pro Bowl is that they don't have a quota system like MLB does so that every team is represented. Can you imagine if they HAD to pick someone from the Lions?

That would be easy .....
Calvin Johnson is an easy choice.

yep. good idea. vote after the season and make the probowl like the mvp award.award those who were the best at their positions in the league.

it hasn't meant much for a while now.players don't really care anymore as they used to on which conferencewins this game. I say just get rid of it and use the probowl selections as an acknowledgment for the season like what the mvp award is and forget the actual game.

Jason Hansen deserved recognition also, he did break a couple of NFL records this season.

Very true,
Very good thruout his career and a classy guy too
He would have broke records a long time ago if the team could score

and yes... there is more news. Something that I'm sure everyone has been waiting for. CBS isn't showing the Pro Bowl in 2010. ESPN will pick up the rights to the game. I'm sure everyone has been waiting with bated breath over that announcement.

Don't care. Besides, ESPN used to broadcast it; they're just getting it back.

 

[Mets82]

Sabres, I don't know if you know but I was being sarcastic. ESPN might as well show it if nobody else is. I'm actually surprised the NFL Network doesn't do the game.

Your right Mets, the NFL Network would be the logical choice, once the contract with whoever has it runs out that is.

 

[The Frog]

Makes it less irrelevant, and yeah, the players on the super bowl teams will opt out, I suspect they'll be OK with that given they're going to the bowl they really would rather be in.

No. The players on the Super Bowl teams won't be allowed to play even if they wanted to.
