Hi everyone:
With the pro bowl announcement coming out yesterday the talk shows and media are spouting off about who got "jobbed" and should be there..... Here's my opinion on it...
WHO THE HELL CARES?????
Everyone knows this is (for the most part) just a popularity contest... If you are a "name" player who's been there multiple times already, well chances are good your ticket to Hawaii is in the mail irregardless of how you actually performed on the field! Done deal........ Yes occasionally that's not the case, but basically that's how it works.
Secondly, who really cares about the NFL pro bowl? Half the people selected don't show anyway (mysterious injuries always seem to occur around February 12th every year....) and the half that do show, decide not to tackle or play hard because no one wants to get hurt. So really this is just a bunch of millionaires playing flag football in Hawaii. Can anyone tell me what the ratings are for this "event" as no one I know even watches it anymore.
Finally the thing that really irratates me about this is how people always print lists and talk about who "should" be there but got left off. That's fine, I have no problem with that, but at the same time tell me who shouldn't be there.. They always seem to leave that out... Only so many people can go and xyz writer is complaining that a player on their favorite team got left off. This obviously happens in all sports as every year in July you hear people wanting to make the baseball all star team 40-50 people instead of 26..... Let's just tell everyone they're an all star or pro bowler and just see who turns up!
Ciao,
Bill
