NEW YORK -- After receiving a promise from players that the game will be more competitive, the NFL will hold the Pro Bowl Jan. 27 in Honolulu, a week before the Super Bowl.
Commissioner Roger Goodell had made it clear that canceling the game was a possibility after the uninspired play of this year's 59-41 AFC victory. After discussions between the league and the players' union, the NFL announced Wednesday that Aloha Stadium would host the Pro Bowl for the third straight year.
It will be the 33rd Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
"The players have made it clear through the NFL Players Association that they would like the opportunity to continue to play the Pro Bowl in Hawaii," NFL executive vice president Ray Anderson said. "We look forward to working with the players toward the goal of improving the competitiveness of this season's game."
yawn.... this is the worst off all the major sports All Star games. I could care less if they cancel it or not. I would rather see a skills competition. Players like it because its a free vacation.

Yay another year of watching 3rd and 4th alternates playing a sloppy game of football using trumped up rules that are a complete 180 from the regular season.
At this point reruns of Battle of the Network Stars are more exciting.
More competitive than that garbage they put on the field last year, yes!
