Pro Bowl - No more NFC vs. AFC format

Apparently the voted top 6 of each position will now be drafted.
Pro Bowl
Notes:
» Game within the Game -- A two-minute warning will be added to the first and third quarters and the ball will change hands after each quarter. This will increase the opportunities for quarterbacks to direct "two-minute drills," which are especially exciting for fans.
» No Kickoffs -- The coin toss will determine which team is awarded possession first. The ball will be placed on the 25-yard line at the start of each quarter and after scoring plays.
» Rosters -- The rosters will continue to consist of 43 players per squad. The kick return specialist will be replaced by an additional defensive back.
» Cover Two and Press Coverage -- The defense will be permitted to play "cover two" and "press" coverage. In previous years, only "man" coverage was permitted, except for goal line situations.
» Stopping of the Game Clock -- Beginning at the two-minute mark of every quarter, if the offense does not gain at least one yard, the clock will stop as if the play were an incomplete pass. This rule will make the team with the ball attempt to gain yardage toward the end of each quarter.
» Game Timing -- The game clock will start after an incomplete pass on the signal of the referee, except inside the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half.
» Play Clock -- A 35-second/25-second play clock will be adopted instead of the typical 40-second/25-second clock.
» Sacks -- The game clock will not stop on quarterback sacks outside of the final two minutes of the game. Currently, the game clock stops in these situations outside of two- minutes of the second and fourth quarters.

Does anyone else watch that crap other than to make sure their teams player(s) does not get hurt.

I actually don't remember the last time I watched a full game.
Flipping through channels.... "Ehhhh let me check it out..."
Couple plays later.. "Screw this"

It's like the WNBA of football. Take out all the exciting parts of the game and put it on television.
With less Bull-Dykes of course.

sounds cool...ill play it once on madden and simulate for the rest of my franchise. oh and yeah i agree...ill never actually watch the game. last year i watched 3 plays roughly and turned it off...easily the worst all star game in sports. id rather watch a west vs east shrine game. at least its still more watchable than a wnba game.

I would tune in to watch a skills competition. Much like the NBA has a three point contest and a dunk contest.
The nature of football will never allow for the Pro Bowl to be anything like the NBA or MLB's all star game.

As lame as this makes the game, there is an upside to this.
It will be really fun to see who gets drafted first etc. people do "redrafts" all the time. Now we can really see one.
