My wife saw a commercial for it the other day and goes "I'm surprised you don't watch that" and then I spent 45 minutes describing what a stupid poo poo show the probowl was. Anyway, we watch TV separately in the evenings now.

The dumbest thing about the Pro Bowl is that they moved it to Orlando. Come NFL players, take some time off and enjoy a giant parking lot in the middle of Florida!

The Skill competition will consist of: Epic Pro Bowl Dodgeball presented by Pepsi: Pro Bowlers will compete in a game of dodgeball, with every member of each team participating. The team with the last person on the court wins. Kick-Tac-Toe: A new challenge that tests the accuracy of placekickers from both conferences with a version of the classic game, as they attempt to hit a 3x3 grid of targets inside the uprights. Gridiron Gauntlet: Five players from each team will participate in a relay race designed to showcase strength, speed, and agility. Among other surprises, the challenge will include a 40-yard dash with an inflated parachute that is attached to the first player on each team who will sprint before tagging in teammates. Best Hands presented by EA SPORTS Madden NFL 18: Four receivers – two from each conference – will catch a series of passes at a sequence of downfield targets as quickly as possible. Designated targets require a specific style of catch – diving, one-handed, over the shoulder, etc. – which must be executed before the receiver can move on to the next target. Precision Passing presented by EA SPORTS Madden NFL 18: Each conference’s quarterbacks will battle it out in an accuracy competition, as they attempt to hit targets of varying size and distance. Drone Drop Challenge: A bonus event during which one player from each team will attempt to catch footballs dropped from drones from increasing heights above the field. The player who makes the highest catch wins money for the charity of his choice.

I didn't think anything of it when it was posted last night, but the replies to the Empire State Building tweet are pretty great: https://twitter.com/EmpireStateBldg/status/955269818986500097 Giants and Jets fans are pretty non-plussed by the whole thing.

Sucks that they moved the Pro Bowl to between the Conference games and SB, should have just kept it afterwards as the All Star game... Also I dont want to wait 2 weeks for the SB.

The game will suck no matter what, but yeah that list of rules is so bad. The one thing they should do is make every all-pro not actively in surgery and every award winner show up, (including the SB players) for a pre-game ceremony where they hand out all the awards and give them a good tug off.

The Pro Bowl should just be a weekend of all the best players playing pickup Baseball and Volleyball games, maybe a game of flag football. Just make it fun and light.

If the NFL offered to let you suit up and take a hit from an NFL player if you signed a medical waiver, how many people would do it? Just something like the Jackass skit except you get like really thick football pads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTdRXMKh7VI

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Barnett was a rotation player Pretty sure Hollins will be eventually taking over for Torrey Smith as they have the same speedy profile. They mentioned this on the broadcast but the Eagles are amazingly not really worrying about FAs next year. The only FAs on the team are Blount, who is probably going to leave, and Ellerbe, a backup LB pressed into service after the Hicks injury. Both have played well but I figure the Eagles focus more on Ellerbe as they have more than enough RBs right now. This is going to be a really exciting Super Bowl. I'll also watch the skills competition if it's as good as the Joey_Harrington.gif days. Is it?

Back in the day there was a weird impromptu kicker competition with Vinatieri and... David Akers I think that was pretty great, so maybe the tic-tac-toe thing is okay. The drone drop sounds dumb as hell except for when I get drunk and just say "so that's what it's like to be an Afghani wedding" to nobody in particular.

OBJ made a bunch of competitions fun to just watch because he's hype as gently caress even when he lost the hands competition.
