1.The players don’t care about playing. If you need proof, ask Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie. McKinnie was dismissed from the NFC’ Pro Bowl roster after missing two practices with no excuse. McKinnie probably opted for fun nights on south beach rather than practice for a game that is insignificant.
2.The stars you want to see will not be playing. Due to injury, fatigue from their participation in the playoffs, or some players getting ready to play in the Super Bowl next week, all of the leagues premiere stars will not be on display. Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, and Charles Woodson are just a few of the NFL stars who will not be competing in this year’s Pro Bowl.
3.What does this game prove? Unlike in baseball where the all-star game is played for home-field advantage in the World Series, the NFL Pro Bowl is played for bragging rights at best. NFC vs. AFC. Big deal.
4.Do you remember what conference won the Pro Bowl last year? Neither do I. The Pro Bowl is not entertaining, it’s rather a torturous display of football leading up to the Super Bowl.
5.There has to be something else to watch on television. Even the most devoted football fan doesn’t care about the Pro Bowl. Rules state you can’t blitz on defense and the use of certain formations is not allowed… what’s the point. The game might as well be flag football.

2. Apologize to the people of Honolulu and offer them an NFL franchise.
3. I'll be watching the Simpsons
So who's your pick for the Superbowl?
2 } no rookies in the pro bowl
3} winner get home field colors in super bowl
4} no more coin toss in the super the conference that wins the pro bowl will get the choice of what side of the ball they want first
I also think it should be moved back to AFTER the Super Bowl. Players who are in the SB can then have a choice whether or not to be in the PB. And it isn't fair to the SB host city to take away from the fanfare of the Big Game, IMO.
