The NFL is starting over with the Pro Bowl. *(About Time!)*

I get why they did it - to help with ratings, but I don't care for it - I'd rather have football over with and go on vacation to Hawaii to watch a fun scrimmage and extend my football season just a little further so my withdrawal isn't so long. I'm guessing that the players would rather have it moved too, because anyone voted in whose team makes it to the Superbowl has to surrender their spot and miss the game. That sucks for them and us. I hope they would change it back to the way it was as part of this re-vamping effort, but it doesn't look like they are.

Have to agree there. How can you have an all-star game when the players from the top two teams in the league aren't going to play?

Then they're makin the real money, the money they deserve
