Poll: The Pro Bowl as the NFL All-Star Celebration

We'll keep it short, as it's kinda self-explanatory. Later today and tomorrow, I'll explain what I think the Pro Bowl should really do, as I don't think the current Pro Bowl does the job.

Poll

Is the Pro Bowl sufficient as the NFL's All-Star celebration?

Yes, it's perfect.

I guess its alright, but they could do a lot better.

Namely nowadays what you get is the best* players who either aren’t injured or not in the Super Bowl. One way or another there’s going to be some less than exceptional players creeping in, the other being the fan vote. Lots of football fans are complete morons, if NFL.com’s comment section is to be believed.

Also it’d be ten times cooler if they split teams up in a draft like they do with the NHL All-Star game.

Perhaps having a panel of chimps select the pro bowl players is the best way to go...

I live on Oahu...

10 minutes from the stadium and was given a free ticket and I’m still not going to go. The only nice thing they did this year was have one of the practice on Hickam AFB so that us military folks could enjoy watching them and get some autographs. The pro-bowl is terrible. The stadium is terrible. They don’t do the skills competition anymore. Look in the stands during the game this year…They can’t even fill the stadium.
