Psyche! I'm not really going to write about the Pro Bowl, because I'm not really going to watch the Pro Bowl. Other than seeing all of the best players together on the same field (which is like watching a football game in a bizarro universe for a Lions fan) and seeing the really cool uniforms (to see a team of football players wearing different helmets is like watching the sports version of the Nockmaar army)- there is really no point to an NFL all-star game. I mean, football is probably the most physical of the four major sports (yes, I still consider hockey a major sport, and yes, hockey can contend with the physical aspects of football), but these guys are in Hawaii, their football seasons already over. How much do they really want to get beat up for an all-star game?
Plus, they have rules like you can only rush a certain number of players, and only blitz like once every three downs or something. And football plays take a long time to really master- yet these guys get about a week. It all adds up to lame football.
So I don't want to take anything away from those players that excelled over the course of the season and earned a shot to be all-stars. You guys deserve it. Just don't expect me to watch it. Because it's not really football.
