As long as people watch whatever they put on the air, they're going to keep doing something.
You know, even when the Pro Bowl was two hand touch in full pads, it did a good number.
Skills competition on the Sunday between the conference championships and the Super Bowl did a good number.
This year, it's a Tuesday night, more of a studio based flag football game, and they're really leaning into the whole flag football thing in advance of the Olympics.
Let's see what kind of number it does.
If it ever gets to a point where it's not profitable, they'll get rid of it.
But yeah, it's a joke in comparison to what it once was.
And I'm not suggesting there should be a full contact, full speed, go get them Pro Bowl like there used to be when I was a kid.
And it was exciting because there's no reason to get yourself injured.
If you're healthy enough to play a football game in early February,
You shouldn't be playing a football game in early February and getting yourself injured for the two months that you have to relax.
You don't want to be getting surgery.
You don't want to go through rehab.
You don't want to hurt your potential free agency value.
So I think they just need to get rid of everything but naming the team.
And then you don't have to worry about replacements.
You don't have to worry about the teams that make it to the Super Bowl and adding more guys to the Pro Bowl roster.
Just name the Pro Bowl teams and be done with it.
Yep, and we all know that being named All-Pro is the much bigger deal.
And we talked about it before we even came on.
