It is a meaningless game that the players don't care about. I don't see a way you can force a player to out on his jock and man up if he doesn't want to.
I don't know how many players were in their 5-6 PB. It seems like they get their free trip to Hawaii 2-3 times and then they have had enough.

True. How many pro bowls was Favre supposed to be in, where he didn't even go?

I just would have liked to see the guys not play at half speed. I guess an additional 25 grand doesn't mean anything to a guy that has more money then he knows what to do with.

A lot of these guys make anywhere from $150,000 to $750,000 per game. As far as they're concerned, at $25,000 they're basically giving their time away.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he is disappointed in the quality of last week’s Pro Bowl and changes must be considered, perhaps even dropping the game altogether.

Speaking on ESPN Radio, Goodell says this year’s Pro Bowl wasn’t “the kind of football we want to be demonstrating to our fans, and you heard it from the fans, the fans were actively booing in the stands.”

Goodell made his remarks on Sunday, hours before the start of the Super Bowl.

Goodell has spoken to the NFL Players Association about his disappointment, adding, “We are going to either have to improve the quality of what we are doing in the Pro Bowl or consider other changes, or even consider eliminating the game if that is the kind of quality of game we are going to provide.”

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if the game was cancelled. I will say that the locals in Honolulu take pride in hosting the game more or less every year.

I've always enjoyed the Pro Bowl because it gave me more time to watch football. But if I'm with Wayne, if they are going to play like they did this year, then I won't mind a cancellation.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

back in the 70-80's I use to watch it. Every year. I was disappointed that only a couple of Packers played. They were sure easy to spot. Those green helmets with the players wearing blue jerseys really stuck out.
It has been getting worse over the past few years and I just don't do much more than glance at the game a few times. This year went to a birthday dinner instead. It was more fun. Had a guy come up to me in the restaurant and tell me I was too loud then walk out. It was a very noisy restaurant in downtown Chicago and I tried to keep people at both ends of the table involved in the dinner.

I mean, if he were playing patty cake, THAT would have shown more aggression! It was embarrassing. I understand play to not get hurt, but play 3/4 effort at least, damn. The fans came to see a "game".

So he was doing exactly what got him to Hawaii.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (3h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (3h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (3h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (7h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I would imagine Dallas will resolve this issue with a truckload of money

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : Micah pulling a Myles with trade request
