    Name and purpose ... has changed. Everything, about the nfl will eventually be watered down. Old skool, replaced by a weak form of itself.

    Rules have greatly changed this game as well. It's so hard to put a hit on a QB. they don't fight like how big Ben did in his early days, instead they just yell at the ref for a flag or scream to Roger to make new rules happen.

    Also can't stand head to head. So many clean tackles and a RB lowers his own head, yet it's called on defense.

    And now there's so many mobile QB that the defense can't tell if they're going to slide. Seriously should be a rule that if you're within 10 yards as a QB if it get drilled, you are fair game. Or if a QB rushes more than 3 times, he can no longer slide.

    Wait they finally ended Pro bowl because they made it weak? Did they really replace it with flag football? Heck, i might watch it. Go put Chad Johnson and TO oyt there. I think those boys still running 4.4

    I can sure understand it. Most NFL fans didn't give a crap about it. I'm pretty sure the players would be quite happy with the check and the honor. Nice way to pad the resume.

    Killing the Pro Bowl is fine, but a well constructed skills competition could be interesting:

    - QB distance throw: who can heave it furthest deviation from a centerline counts against
    - RB obstacle course, carry the ball thru various hazards
    - WR jugs machine completion.
    - K and P distance test

    I’m sure others can come up with other ideas. but monetize it enough and players will show up.

    Best choreographed Interception celebration.
    Who can scream the loudest for a flag.
    Water cooler pitch competition.
    Who can hold an OLB or DE the longest without getting penalized.

    I haven't watched a Pro Bowl game in over 20 years.
