New low for NFL Pro Bowl

[Daseal]

Someone on the radio suggested that the Pro Bowl be played the week after the super bowl, and that it should be played overseas instead of a team losing a home game.

This, in turn, would have players excited for the the pro bowl (new city, bigger buzz about the game for ex-pats overseas/football fans, etc.) I think this is a great idea. I hate teams losing a home game overseas, and this makes the pro bowl interesting. Even the best players want a free trip overseas.

The 2011 Pro Bowl brought to you by Sprint. Live from Kabul, Afghanistan.

Dude, they might as well just go back to Hawaii. It is overseas and is an absolute paradise. Nothing, I mean nothing compares to it!!!!! If you can't get players to go to Hawaii with their gf, wife or kids, nothing is going to motivate them to go. Europe is cold as hell in February. Africa is just a dump, along with most of Central and South America. Uruguay and Argentina are nice, but Hawaii beats them hands down. Belize is nice, but I am not sure they have a decent stadium.

Yeah going to play a game in cold rainy London or Berlin really doesn't seem like a good idea.

sweet idea

I'm sure people would take hawaii over london any day though.. not to mention it's still domestic, guys don't have to do as much travel-wise to prepare for it.. oh and the weather and relaxation are great after a long hard season that ends in winter.. who wants to play in rain when it's absolutely brutal outside in europe or something?
