wow that is a lot of good players, do you have the replacement list?

 

[VC3]

No but a few are mentioned in the article.

 

[Whisper]

What sore-losers
They're supposed to be grown men being PRO athletes
Probably pulling out because they don't want all the media in their faces

--Satire aside

What a year for top players to get injured. Too bad for Favre, being that it might be his last season. But you never know when it comes to Favre... ya never know.

I think the case for SOME could be health or injury related on why they may have pulled out.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I would drop out to. The game is worthless and boring and noone watches.

 

[RipCity32]

I concur, I do not ever watch this game. It's really boring.

 

[Gtown81]

yup, it's funny cause all other sports have fun all-star games and competitions to watch but the NFL out of all sports is boring

I still watch it.
Especially since Big Ben is in it!

the only way you can make me watch it is if Julius Peppers is in

 

[Mexi]

i've tried watching it in the past, but man is it boring

 

[retry_1]

i watch it, but my main attraction are the skills comps during the week, shame that sanders had to pull out. but due to him pulling out, as well as polamalu, antwan betyhea(sp?) got a slot

I think the Pro Bowl is underrated. They might not play very well and score a lot, because of bad defense, but it's fun to watch. I like to watch it, cuz the guys have fun. I like to see the players' fun-loving sides. And no better place for it than Hawaii. I also like to watch NFL Total Access on the NFL Network during the week leading up to the Pro Bowl. 2 years ago, I was home sick with the flu that whole week, and I saw some pretty funny stuff on Total Access. I like shows like that, when they just sit around and talk and they don't try to act professional. It's like Inside the NBA on TNT. Anyway, that's my take on the Pro Bowl. It's a fun week. And I like to see the guys trade helmets during the game.

ya but don't you rather like to watch guys going full out and hitting as hard as they can, plus there is no pressure on the players during the game

Football Is probally the most contact sport of all american sports and the pro bowl can lead to injuries like in 1994 some guy missed 6 games of the next season because of some achillies injury so..atleast it's after the season.

Yeah, I would rather watch that, but they can't do that in the Pro Bowl. It'd be stupid if they actually played it full force. Plus, we watch full force football for 21 weeks every season. This is just one game.

ya exactly that's why these games aren't as fun too watch

I'm glad that there is no pressure on the players. All Star games aren't suppose to mean anything. They are just suppose to be a relaxed fun game.

Thats why the MLB's All Star game is gay.
