Pro Bowl Before the Super Bowl – NFL Football
Sunday, January 31, 2010 9:28
The NFL’s Pro Bowl has finally been changed for the better.
Are You Listening, Roger Goodell?
Reflecting on the changes to today’s Pro Bowl–taking place the weekend between the Conference Championship and the Super Bowl in the Super Bowl city, Miami, and not in Hawaii–I recalled my VideoDeep post regarding such from last year.
Were you listening, Roger Goodell?
No, I’m not so egotistical to think the NFL’s head honcho read and/or watched video on this site and made drastic changes to the league’s all-star game. I am neither the first nor the only to suggest these adjustments.
It’s just positive that the NFL finally listened. Are you paying attention, O Lords of the BCS? Listen to the fans and media!

Nice Call, Barlow.
But, you're nuts thinking the game is any more interesting in its current slot than it was any year prior.
I follow the game religiously and haven't watched a Pro Bowl in a couple decades.
They could move it to the HOF game and I still wouldn't watch.
They could put the players in shorts and armour, wearing beekeeper masks, I still wouldn't watch.
You can't make a meaningless event meaningful.
Of course when I was a pup it was a different story for baseball, anyway. I watched every baseball All-Star game. The only one I vaguely remember is when Pete Rose ran over Ray Fosse to score the winning run. To Rose, no game was meaningless.
All Star games mean nothing–never will.

Personally? I don't think it will be a lick more interesting, and I won't be watching. The only All-Star Game I ever watch is baseball.
However, I bet ratings will be at least marginally to somewhat higher. The season is over when it's played after the Super Bowl; it isn't today. By the week after the Super Bowl, focus has already been shifted to other sports; it hasn't been today. Should make a big difference in some people's mindsets.
