The strike.

Odd as it may sound, I've always wanted to go to a Pro Bowl, and never really cared about going to a Super Bowl. I have a feeling the Pro Bowl has more of a "college game" feel.

Plus, any excuse to go to Hawaii is valid

I think they have to play, don't they??? (NFLPA contracts)?

But its the Pro Bowl, so they take it a lot easier, and I'm sure they will go in for a play or two and the other guys will treat them with kid gloves.

At that level, those guys respect each other a lot more than they let on. They understand whats at stake for the guys going to the Super Bowl, and they'll likely joke with them more than compete.

I thought the players who were in the Super Bowl DIDN'T play, and they had the 'runner ups' play instead.

Maybe I'm wrong...............

 

[Trajan]

really? ..wow I never knew that...thats probably because I have never had much interest in the pro bowl.

You may be right, I honestly don't know. I just assumed there would be some contractual obligation to play because they get paid for being there.

Let me go google

OK,
EZ is right. Players who are preparing for the Super Bowl are not required to even attend the Pro Bowl, and this year (and I assume from here on) they will get their pay even though they are not required to play.

The last time I watched the Pro Bowl I think Jim Zorn was the MVP of the game.

As I always say, "I'm always right!"

I'll be watching. If I remember right from last year, Aloha Stadium will be about half full.

And M14 is right, the new CBA may cross this out of the schedule. My guess is the owners don't like stressing about their players getting hurt in a meaningless game.

 

[Paulie]

There will not...I repeat WILL NOT...be a lockout next season.

There's no way the NFL is going to let it happen when football is the most fan followed sport. Too many billions of dollars are at stake, and they have seen what negative effects it can have on the sport, i.e. baseball and hockey.

Jason Witten, 2nd best TE ever, but Vick will be to dumb to use him right.

Nope.
