Reason Number 10,000 Why the Pro Bowl Sucks

Posted by kevin on February 11, 2007

I hate the Pro Bowl. I watched approximately one play of it yesterday, and to be honest, that makes me happy. The only thing I’m sad I missed was Sean Taylor murdering Brian Moorman. I think it’s stupid, I think its not football when you can’t call blitzes, and when all you do is run dumbass gadget plays that get your punter killed and involve Tiki Barber throwing dead ducks.

I’m going to assume that Drew Brees is now in my camp after his game today. Brees dislocated his elbow, an injury that probably won’t require surgery, but nonetheless probably hurt like a bitch. Not only that, it is going to take a lot of rehab, and it is going to kill offseason plans. I don’t think there was a Saints fan that wasn’t thinking about his torn labrum when Brees came up gingerly holding his arm.

Why does this pointless exhibition exist? Players, coaches, and owners bitch about the preseason being too long as it is and too many injuries happening, so why have this? It’s just asking for players to get hurt. Players whose teams didn’t make the playoffs haven’t played in over a month and are probably not in game form. It’s just stupid.
