I got fed up with the way players are selected and stopped voting a couple years back.
I may do 1 token vote for those I feel truly worthy. Sad part is that no one watches the game these days.

And even more sad is the guys that get voted that don't go, just because they don't WANT to. If it's a valid reason, like an injury that hasn't healed, i don't mind. But the guys that are healthy SHOULD make the effort to go. The fans deserve to get to see the people they vote in actually play.
Otherwise, whats the point of even having a pro-bowl?

Those that do go just sort of go thru the motions. They are mainly out there for the sun and surf. I understand them not wanting to get hurt but it is not a real football game.

I agree, You'd say it'd be a thing on honor. You're the best of the best. Just go there, please the fans, and have a fun time n Hawa while you're at it.

And to the tampering with votes. These people are screwing it up for themselfs. If they keep going like this, it might just become a Pro Bowl withouth the public voting and a selection by a couple of experts.

I asume they take out the bad players anyway. Reminds me of another forum, where everyone turned a Bernard Pollard fan after he injured Tom Brady.... I wonder if they found enough idiots to get him into the pro bowl.

Yea, if that many skins actually get selected, the NFL will just eliminate the importance of the fan vote. So we can now officially thank Redskins fans for ruining are part in picking the pro bowl teams.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
