I wish they would make the Pro Bowl about charities. They should make the actual
"game" a 7-on-7 competition where each player has a charity they are playing for. Their charity gets X amount of dollars for each TD pass or TD reception or INT or whatever. I think that's how they could get the players motivated.
They should also bring back the skills challenge like they used to. Incorporate charities into those as well.

I get the feeling that when Roger Goofball isn't selling used cars he's masturbating to old XFL games.
Wait until a franchise/superstar player blows out his knee and then it will be over.

Humor site Kissing Suzy Kolber actually nails an amazing idea to breathe new life into the dead horse: Combine the Draft and the Pro Bowl into the same week.
quote:Now imagine you hold the Pro Bowl in March, everyone has had time to get some distance from the previous season, rest and look forward to going to Hawaii. Have the Pro Bowl on Wednesday during the day in Hawaii so it can play in prime time on the mainland. Fly out the top, oh, say two hundred draft prospects. Maybe even three hundred, assuming Goodell doesn’t want to be outdone by Oprah flying her staff out to Hawaii for vacations. More will probably be flown out on their agent’s dime for some last second glad-handling. Have them there watching the game in the stands, getting to meet the current Pro Bowlers, hearing life lessons about what it took from them to go from draft day to this moment. It would make for great television, a passing of the baton moment that plays well with sentimental football fans.
Then start the first round of the draft the next afternoon in Hawaii, again which is prime time on the mainland, and have all the Pro Bowlers in the theater cheering on the players being drafted by their team. A welcoming into a club that is more than just a jersey and an old guy wearing a suit, teammates welcoming each other into the fraternity of professional football players from the get go.
