Did you know the NFL held it's Pro Bowl, their version of an All-Star game, on Sunday? Don't feel bad. Not many people did. After the Super Bowl, fans tend to forget about football. Football players themselves don't even seem to care about the game too much. After their Super Bowl loss, Tom Brady and Randy Moss dropped out of the game. Their were many other players who did not play due to injuries. Whether they were serious injuries or little day-to-day bruises, it is understandable why a player wouldn't want to play in a game that doesn't mean anything. The Pro Bowl is clearly the least interesting of all the major sports All-Star games. The other games are appropriately placed in the middle of their seasons when playoff talk is beginning and intensity is high. With football being such a contact sport and injuries being so likely to occur, no one has ever really thought of having the game another time or just getting rid of it all together. I have an idea that will solve two problems in the NFL. The NFL should hold the Pro Bowl in the week between the championship games and the Super Bowl. This is during a time where fans all over the world are anxiously waiting for the big game. This only presents one problem: all-stars on the two Super Bowl teams would not be able to participate because of the possibility of injury. The game could also be played in the same city as the Super Bowl, rather than in Hawaii. I believe the game would draw a much larger amount of viewers, but this is just one sports fan's opinion.
