One other factor here is that the NFL does not make money putting on the Pro Bowl. The TV money is very small - - for the simple reason that no one watches.

Players do not want to play in the game. (Anyone tune in to watch any of last year's game? I've seen better tackling and blocking in JV Middle School games!)

Fans do not want to attend the game. (Was the stadium half-full last year?)

Fans do not watch on TV. (Ratings are better than infomercials at 2:00AM, but not a whole lot better.)

So add it all up.

No one really cares about the game and the game is losing money... Its days are numbered.

RIP.
