No One Shows Up For Pro Bowl

NEW YORK—Despite the game having been scheduled well over a year ago, not a single person associated with the NFL—players, coaches, reporters, or stadium employees—arrived in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl on Sunday. "No one came," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said at a press conference. "I'd use this as an opportunity to reprimand those who failed to fulfill their duties, but, well, I didn't show up either. I hate the Pro Bowl. It sucks." Though Fox was forced to broadcast a blank screen in lieu of the game, the time slot boasted higher ratings than any Pro Bowl in history.

It's a nap inducer.
I write from experience from falling asleep last night.
It was a good nap.
It's like: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...Huh? Wha? He scored a touch down? Whatever. ZZZZZZZZZZ....
:snooze:

Hahaa. Nice. I did manage to force myself to watch about 20 minutes of it.

 

[JBlood]

I completely forgot about it, and glad I did.

I watched the whole thing. It was just comical to see and make fun of the lack of tackling. Helped I was in a chat room with a bunch of other football fans who were also watching it.

Last play of the game was embarrassingly hysterical.

I watched 1st 5 mins to just hear the players micd up

I had the game on, but it was just background noise to me, while I was doing schoolwork. I think they had a lot of interceptions, Hester muffed a punt, there was a crapload of scoring, and an offensive lineman scored a touchdown at the end of the game. How can a game with the score of 55-41 seem so boring?

It's pretty lame, but I thought I read that this year was the highest rated Pro Bowl ever.

Who watches this crap.

The Pro Bowl should be exciting not a bore.

 

[Wood Chipper]

pro bowl should be played with something at stake. i watched it for the first time in years and wtf? no real tackling, no blitzing, everything from a 4-3 defense, the tight end has to be in every play

 

[Forget Favre]

With or without Packers it's boring and lame.
Never had an interest in it and never will.

JBlood is right.
The Onion did have it right.

 

[Wood Chipper]

or at least the pro bowl should do more trick plays or have a thing like where fans vote on what play they wanna see and they can put up four options
