| Inspiring play at the line of scrimmage |
The Pro Bowl. Can it get any worse? In football there is no real middle ground, either you are going all out, or you are not going at all. In Basketball, where the all-star game is not the most exciting thing in the world either, it can at least be fun to see players throw alleys, try new dunks, and go one on one and do and-1 type of moves they can not do in the regular game. In football, they hike the ball, lineman on both sides don't even pretend to try or care, and QB just throws it deep to receiver who is being half heartily covered. I can not say it is the players fault, they are most likely already being underpaid with no guaranteed contract. There is no way they should risk injury for a game that does not mean anything. The pro bowl will never be popular or entertaining unless they drastically change the game. No amount of dumb gimmicks, like allowing players to tweet during the game, will change it. My solution, give pro bowl mention to O-lineman and D-linemen and a free trip to Hawaii and seats on the bench, and then have the game be 7-7 flag football with only skill players. Might not be the greatest, but can't get any worse.
