No one takes it seriously IMO. The best way to make it serious is to make it a meaningful game. Hold it on Week 9 of the regular season and and make it so the winning conference gets home field advantage for the Super Bowl. Stop the practice of cities bidding for the game. If the NFC wins the Pro Bowl, and Atlanta is your NFC champions, then they host the Super Bowl.

Probably a bad idea. But anything is better than the status quo. It’s either that or don’t play the game at all.

It's a joke and that's okay. Just don't watch it.

Worst NFL team vs the College Football Champions or CFB All Stars


Or to make it easy, Browns vs Bama each year.

This. Have every position compete with each other for prizes. Maybe like a New car to each winner or maybe like 20k to their fav charity. The game itself sucks

Some type of skills competition. I think they could get creative with offensive skill players + QBs. Not sure what to do with linemen and defensive players. Regardless the game needs to end.

Have more interesting skills challenges.

I don't know why they refuse to have a fastest man challenge. Is it an ego thing?

I like how the NBA made a skills challenge bigs vs smalls.

Do more of that, make you your qb play wide receiver

Also have players compete in a Ninja Warrior or Wipeout type of challenge. I would watch that.

I'm excited for the skills competition on Thursday. That's fun to watch and doesn't take itself too serious.

People that complain about the pro bowl crack me up. I'm not a professional baseball guy and you know how I avoid bitching about the MLB all star game? I don't watch it

I’ve always been of the opinion that all star games in all sports are for the players to just have fun and reward them for great seasons, who the hell wants to play all out for a meaningless game?

You don't. You just cancel it.

Sports All Star games existed as a marketing gimmick back before cable/internet.

They no longer have any value and nobody gives a crap about them.

It's all sports, not just the NFL. All star games are just embarrassing really.

The Browns would destroy Bama. There is no college team that can hang with a NFL team.
