Actually, we didn’t boycott the Pro Bowl. We just failed to give a shit because something as farcical as that game doesn’t deserve a second thought.
I mean, seriously. The only all-star game that should have Ted Butthole playing quarterback is a fucking Louisville alumni game.
At any rate, we gather that the team with Russell Wilson playing quarterback won and that would make sense. It would make sense since Wilson was literally the only quarterback playing in the Pro Bowl who actually deserved to be there.
The general consensus seems to be that the game was more reminiscent of kind of game you played at recess when you were in elementary school. You know, two-hand touch.
And that ain’t real football, is it?
Did you watch it?
If you did, go ahead and tell us your impressions.
However, from the looks of it, you didn’t watch.
Pro Bowl drew 5.0 overnight rating on ESPN. Likely lowest ever. Down sharply from ESPN's 5.6 in 2015 and NBC's 6.7 in 2014

The NFL has made some lame attempts to spice the Pro Bowl up by electing the “best players” regardless of conference and having a couple of retired ballplayers choose the teams fantasy-draft style.
Well, guess what.
No one gives a shit.
No one gives a shit because the best players don’t play and the game itself is not only pointless, but no one even tries.
Here’s a little bit more perspective on how quickly things are going downhill. That 6.7 rating in 2014 came against the Grammy Awards, which aired at the same time on CBS. The Grammys got an 8.5.
So despite no major programming competition this year, interest in the Pro Bowl still decreased.
Millions of people literally had this conversation.
“What do you want to do tonight?”
“I don’t know, but I do not want to watch the Pro Bowl. That’s for sure.”
If you were one of those people, we applaud you.
You didn’t miss anything and the only way this piece-of-shit farce is going away is if fewer people watch it next year than watched it this year.
And that’s what needs to happen. The ship has sailed on the Pro Bowl serving any purpose.
I watched Grease Live with my wife as opposed to watching this crappy football game. That’s how bad this game is…i’d rather watch a musical than football. Plus, Julianne Hough has a better tight end than most of the NFL
Was so uninterested that I did not even know the day, channel or time . . . Here’s to a better year for the Packers next year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfTrLcXE5sw&list=FLyCYxBdzMM0eqHMCeowNMBQ&index=2
Fortunately the Badgers were playing at Illinois in a b-ball game.
I had a Jeff Janis anonymous meeting
The NFL would be better off having the mascots play the game. Score a field goal or TD and all the mascots have to down a shot. First team on all fours wins. One mascot from each team for each player selected from that team. The Panthers would have an advantage as their mascot in a Santa suit did cover a live punt in the end zone against the steelers in 1996. Still remember Cowhers reaction. Not sure who the Packers would have as a Mascot, however I say they should roll out the barrel ( Lacy) and have a barrel of fun.
Whatever is going on in that picture is about 100x better than the Pro Bowl.
LOL. You never disappoint…
The Pro Bowl was yesterday?
Huh, I didn’t know. Sorry that I missed it.
NOT!!!
2 things will fix the pro bowl:
1. Hold it in a different city each year in the United States. That way people who like another team whom may not play often in their area will have a chance to see their favorite players.
2. Bring back QB competition.
Or you can just watch the superbowl…..
When you ask your Wife what you should do today (and its the day of the Pro Bowl) and she says “..I just wish there was some DECENT football on today instead of the Pro Bowl” you know its a really fucking shitty game.
I mean my Wife watches football, sort of, but she is no football guru. The fact that even she wont watch that abortion of a game says a lot.
I could have said “well now we can have sex instead!” but alas, being a married man with 2 young children I only have so many breaths in my life to carelessly throw away….
Maybe the NFL could stop allowing ESPN (or NFL Network for that matter) to have exclusive coverage. Cord cutters are a thing because nobody wants to pay for shitty cable monopolies anymore. I wouldn’t watch it regardless, but as long as they keep allowing pay for access only channels, they aren’t going to see any increase in viewers for that shit show they call the Pro Bowl.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA did you cocklickers even make the pro bowl? You ready to see the NEW kings IN THE NFC. BITCH. We own you NOW.
I try to find the roar of a panther but the best I could find is a sound like a fat guy burping
Watched Celtics vs. Magic NBA game instead.
