NFL 2013-14 Pro Bowl Week : no1curr

[Krandor]

It's that dead week where the NFL pretends anyone cares about the Pro Bowl, but they did spice it up this week by getting Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders involved and made it a fantasy draft style. What this means for the viewer is likely some mildly entertaining pregame coverage with Rice and Sanders in front of the mic, followed by a game no one gives a shit about. The Royal Rumble starts one hour after kickoff for the Pro Bowl, and should provide a vastly superior form of entertainment.

As is tradition, here's some gifs. Because I'm biased, they're both from either players time with the Niners.

[Roranora]

gj pro bowl thread

[Bregor]

Good work, men. Just couldn't bring myself to make a Pro Bowl thread.

[Kang]

The pro bowl draft is the only mildly entertaining thing this week football wise.

Edit: Whoops, watching playoff replays on NFL Network on Demand is more entertaining I mean lol

[Abandon]

team rice is going to run up the score, just looking at the rosters. lmao

[Krandor]

Seriously, even for a pro bowl the offensive side of the ball for his team is insane.

[Krandor]

If you do decide to watch it, you get to watch RIVERS tossing the ball to Graham, Tony G, GMARSH, MEGATON, Josh Gordon, and Larry Fitzgerald. So there is that in its favor.

[Mertron]

yeah when i first saw the rosters i was like wtf is deion doing

[Mertron]

because he picked cam newton who owes some guy 25k for not giving a shit about the pro bowl

[Bregor]

Also from last thread, Browns new coach is not-Schiano. not-McDaniels, not-Tressel, not-Stoops, not-Malzahn. I am excite. Looking forward to who the coordinators will be, so I can be optimistic before drinking myself to death when they pick Jonathan Football on draft day.

[Abandon]

so many lulz from that, bregs

Pettine is a defensive guy, so maybe he'll see the flaws in Manziel and be strongly enough opposed that they don't draft him..?

More then likely the decision is not going to be up to the coach. From some rumors floating around, the Manziel excite in the organization comes from Haslam.

[Abandon]

Udonis?

[Krandor]

Udonis?

His last name is spelled Haslem.

And, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Haslam

[Dimmauk]

It's like BG picked Team Rice.

browns will probably collect the scraps from the ravens' current OC hunt. right now they are in 2nd interview stage with Kirby Wilson (my #1 choice), Kyle Shanahan (#2), and Jim Hostler (please god no). have also interviewed Chud and Linehan once each, no calls back to them yet
