Man 1: The crowd here is going bananas! The level of excitement is unlike anything I've ever witnessed! Man 2: Well, the mere thought of killing off the pro bowl does have all of us feeling pretty giddy

Zing! Replace the pro bowl with a skills competition, have it after the superbowl, with the top players in the league. Imagine a passing competition between Rodgers & Brees! It would give players a chance to earn off season bragging rights.

Agreed. Someone on my football boards suggested an obstacle course for d-linemen and linebackers, maybe with a way to measure how hard they hit the final goal.

I had tickets to the Pro Bowl when I lived in Hawaii.We were tailgating when the game started and none of us wanted to go into the stadium to see the game, tailgating was more fun.

Or turn off your TV and go do something else instead.

The whole point of the original baseball All-Star game was so that people had a chance to see baseball stars that they wouldn’t normally get to see because they played in the other league.
Now, every team plays every other team in basketball and hockey and football and baseball have games that cross the conferences/leagues. In a National League city, I still get to see the Yankees every three or four years.
To make things like the Pro Bowl relevant again, just eliminate the cross conference/league games. No more Lakers/Celtics except during the finals and no more Patriots/Giants except at the Super Bowl.
