Why not turn the Probowl into..... (pro, games, ESPN, quarterback)

Something that is entertaining and would be worth watching. How about scrap the football game and do something like punt/pass/kick. I am sure they could make up all kinds of games to test the skills of the best athletes in football.

I think if it followed the format of the show Wipeout it would work well.

I personally would watch something like that. Any other ideas?

I agree.

Most All-Star games are pretty boring to watch. I'd much prefer some kinds of skills exhibition. NFL's fastest man. The Quarterback Challenge they used to do. Strength tests.

All of those would be more interesting to me than a game that doesn't matter and the players don't really care or try.

^^^Great ideas. Having skills competitions would certainly be more entertaining than the boring game they have now.

I know I have watched NFL skills competitions on ESPN before. I always found those entertaining. Or at least a million times more than the probowl.

I would be willing to give that a try...there is almost nothing worse than the Pro Bowl...but I understand why it is so bad.
