Curious to see how this will play out...

http://andy-benoit.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22475988/27226932 

Last season the NFL decided to move the Pro Bowl from the week after the Super Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl. The idea was to take the utterly irrelevant All-Star event and make it just regularly irrelevant. Its been an alright ploy, though a consequence is players from the competing Super Bowl teams cannot compete.

Thus, the league had to replace all of the Steeler and Packer players on the roster. So who did they tap?

For the Packers:

CB Tramon Williams replaced by Antoine Winfield

CB Charles Woodson replaced by Brent Grimes

FS Nick Collins replaced by Roman Harper

OLB Clay Matthews replaced by Brian Orakpo

WR Greg Jennings replaced by Larry Fitzgerald

LT Chad Clifton replaced by Donald Penn


For the Steelers:

OLB James Harrison replaced by Tamba Hali

S Troy Polamalu replaced by Eric Berry

C Maurkice Pouncey replaced by Jeff Saturday

DE Brett Keisel replaced by Randy Starks

Eh. Pro Bowl is stupid. I never have watched it and I don't plan on starting now, especially since we don't have any players participating. Kind of cool to see that we tied for 3rd with the most players for a team (6) even though Sitton and Rodgers were snubbed.

To me, football is football, even with something as meaningless as the pro bowl. With a potential work stoppage after the season, I'm definitely going to try to watch some of it even with no Packers players there.

Do they still hold the skill competions? I used to love watching how far a QB could throw and how fast a DLineman could get through a course.

The Pro Bowl is to football what WWE is to wrestling.

I think you mixed up "Pro Bowl" and XFL. :)

The XFL is something way closer to real football than the Pro Bowl, but I like where your head's at!
