Pro-Bowl to move to Miami in 2010?

[Skinny Tee]

I don't like it. Nobody from the Super Bowl teams would play if it has yet to be played.

Everyone knows the Pro Bowl is a fluff game and they're fine with that. The "competitive" all star game should be the Super Bowl that preceeds it. Why does the Pro Bowl need to be a competitive event? The fact that football is a impact sport makes it a wonder that they even play the game out in the first place.

Also the Pro Bowl kind of doubles as a paid vacation for the players and it should stay that way...Keep it in Hawaii.

I think that would be the biggest drawback. Nobody playing in the Super Bowl would play. Plus I agree that the players look at it as a reward-vacation and some may not even play if it weren't in Hawaii. Going to Hawaii is one of the things that make it special.

I can afford my own too but I would feel better about it if it were given to me for a job well done.

Exactly. The first year that they're planning to do this the Super Bowl is in Miami, so that's a good vacation spot, but what happens if the Super Bowl is in Minnesota, or Detroit, or Indy. Half the players selected don't want to go to the Pro Bowl anyway, so why give the other half another excuse to skip it?
