Miami Pro Bowl better attended than Hawaii Pro Bowl!

 

Yeah, I hotlinked that image. Suck it.

Think it had anything to do with the fact that Florida Turnpike Stadium has 26,000 more seats? Yeah, so much more interest in the Pro Bowl this year. I turned $25 tickets down. $25!!! That's like nothing, I make that in three months for having an ad in the upper right hand corner of this blog. People still couldn't get anyone to take Pro Bowl tickets off of their hands this year. Why have the game? Just name the teams, have them come down and jack off all over themselves for the media and then send them home. Hell, send them to Hawaii and let them do skill competitions and play chess and stuff. I might pay to watch Bryant McKinnie horsefork Alan Faneca's queen. That's what Desert Camelfucking does, they just name the all-star teams and fly them to the championship site to be recognized. They don't make them risk unnecessary injury by actually fucking camels.

And I don't care if other leagues do it.  It's easier. Those sports that play 82 or 162 games a year are much better suited to play an extra one. There isn't the same injury risk, players can half-ass it without repercussion, and really, it's just not nearly as taxing. The MLB has a 162 game season. What's an extra game? Contrast that to the NFL, where one game is a big deal in a sport that has players struggling to get through 16. Hell, some players have never made it through all 16 games. So you can't just plunk it down in the middle of the season or anything. 

So, my solution (and a lot of other people's, from what I've read) is to save the Pro Bowl by fucking it. Just fuck the damn Pro Bowl. Save those Korean children the hassle of sewing up all those ugly jerseys.

NFL and Hawaii slap-fighting over the Pro Bowl

Above: Jake Delhomme and Peyton Manning meet at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii to compare postseason interceptions.

As you may well be aware of, the NFL wants to spice the Pro Bowl up by having it held the week before the Super Bowl, in the same town as the Super Bowl, so everybody that is gathered in said town for the Super Bowl can completely ignore it in person.

Well, I guess they felt bad about slighting Hawaii, because they have talked about rotating it year-by-year on the mainland and with the traditional spot in Honolulu.

And Hawaii said fuck that.

Ballsy.

Not that it's a big deal, since nobody cares, and I mean, fuck Hawaii, but some of the quotes in the article suggest that Hawaii is trying to big time the NFL and tell them how much they are fucking up to sacred tradition of the AFC Coach Bill Cowher Bowl. And it's kind of funny to me.


She added that moving the Pro Bowl a week before the Super Bowl would eliminate the "best players" from attending the all-star game.

"She" (the mayor of Honolulu) is an idiot. Does she think that the Super Bowl teams just play another game the week after and call it the Pro Bowl? I think three Steelers made it and I can't see anymore than three Cardinals on the team, either. It's usually all Redskins. Actually, I think the entire Ravens team made it this year. They could have held the game in the parking lot of Ray Lewis's church.

The NFL claims not to have heard from the state, which is quite strange, as I have just heard from the state by reading this article. Like, I know the state's position. Play it here every year or fuck off. I'm surprised that a league whose head has grown as oversized as the NFL's has is trying to be nice here and compromise with Hawaii, but I'm sure that in the end they are just going to let Hawaii do as it pleases and happily have the game ignored on the mainland.

Actually, I'm not going to say no one cares about this daytime soap opera. Andy Reid and his coaching staff are hanging on every word.
