Goodell wants to get rid of Pro-bowl

Because it basically sucked this year and no one watched it. This is ENTIRELY his fault. Back in the 80s and 90s there were skill competitions, and the rules made it a much more entertaining and competitive game.
The best change that could be made to the NFL and the Pro-bowl is the ousting of Goodell.

It really is kind of a joke, especially with the SB the week after, a bunch of guys are always forced to not play.

Goodell has nothing to do with the Pro Bowl sucking. Money has everything to do with it. Guys that are making 15 million dollars a year arent going to risk careers on a game that means nothing.

For most of them, this. For guys under crappier contracts early in their careern, its a good chunk of money extra they can get.

As well he should. The Pro Bowl is a sham and disgrace to professional sports.

They get 20K for losing, 40K for winning. Even for the guys early in careers thats peanuts.

that could totally work for the NFL

They should pay the guys on the team that wins 100 million each.
That would make the game interesting. Anything less.......not.

well this SB there was a lot more GIant fans there, but the SB is not really that loud to begin with.
there's a lot of *i'm at the SB* people that couldn't care less who was playing.

This year was loud for the Giants because of where they were playing, and who they were playing against.
It could have been any NFC team against the Patriots and Indianapolis would have been a home game for the NFC.
As for the Pro-Bowl...
The only way to make it better is to have them play football again.
The only way to do that is to make there be some incentive.

They should make it something that matters, but not too much - like getting to pick your bye week or some other scheduling related thing. Like winning conference gets the later bye weeks when everyone is banged up and you need to rest up for a playoff run.

They could still vote people to the Pro Bowl and just not play it.
