2012-13 NFL Pro Bowl Week: A Sad Period in Football

[Bregor]

Okay, I've assembled you all here to ask an important question. It's straightforward and should be relatively easy to answer. Why do we have a Pro Bowl? Roger, let's start with you.

If you think your derpface is going to get you out of a mess, Roger, just wait until you arrive in New Orleans. Well if you're not going to answer the question, let's ask one of the participants. Tom, we know you love a big stage, but this year it's the Pro Bowl and not the Super Bowl. Will you still give it your all on Sunday?

Spoiler: show

I'll take that as a "no". Oh, what's that? You're injured now? How convenient. What about you, Peyton? What makes the Pro Bowl special to a seasoned veteran like yourself?

Peyton? Uh... Peyton? Someone get the smelling salts please. In the meantime, let's turn to someone who has been there before, but didn't make the cut this season.

Look, PRivs, I didn't mean to make you upset. Is a free trip to Hawaii with your best bud Norval really that big of a deal to you? But I guess you know your team is too shitty to win the AFC, so dream big, my friend. The Pro Bowl can be a special time for family as well, so maybe the wife of a rookie Pro Bowler can put into words how special the experience is.

Jesus, Ashton, pull it back a bit. Damn. The last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it. Moving on, we all know that there aren't a lot of big hits or solid tackles in the Pro Bowl, so let's have someone demonstrate proper sliding technique.

Goddamn it Sanchez, you are so fucking bad. And this is a Pro Bowl thread, get the fuck out. Okay, the Pro Bowl is a showcase for elite talent and athleticism, so maybe these guys can shed some light on it.

Spoiler: show

Clearly we're getting nowhere. I think we need to ask some all-time greats, so Mr. Simpson...

Spoiler: show

No, not you, the incarcerated Mr. Simpson...

Spoiler: show

Not taking the stand again, I see. Maybe we need to think outside the gridiron here. A beloved member of the sports press should be the perfect person to describe the excitement of the Pro Bowl.

Well, that about does it. Effective immediately, I am CANCELING THE PRO BOWL.

[notorious bum]

Are there really people who take bets on the Pro Bowl?

[Qalbert]

lol

[noblemountain]

The probowl should just be skills competitions and a vacation. Do some fan interaction stuff and call it a week in Hawaii.

I want to kick a 40 yard field goal and have a pro bowler tackle me with excitement...like this

The Vegas consensus spread opened at NFC (-3) and moved to AFC (-1), and moving four points is a lot, so yes a lot of people actually risk their own money on the Pro Bowl.

Crabtree will not be charged with sexual assault.

Also seems OT Trent Williams got hit over the head with a champagne bottle and tased by a random guy in a bar. He got 7 stitches and the guy got arrested. Gotta have some balls to attack an OT. lol

Also nice sig Qal, that shit was fucking hilarious

We can always move the watch debate to this thread to liven it up.

when the people ask, i deliver

[Cail]

so, i have a question. If you're a replacement for a pro-bowler, say to an injury, are you then considered a pro-bowler for your career, even though you didnt actually make it to begin with?

[Rhinox]

yup. still counts.

the people that back out still get credit too. It's the reason why so many back out cause they still get credit for it without doing any of the work

[Cail]

thats retarded. feasibly, you could be the 6th best QB, and the top 2 cant go cuz of injury and the 3rd is in the SB, well, the 6th best gets to go and is called a PBer
