Get rid of it, and that goes for all all-star games.

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


Players make too much money for those type things anymore. Back in the 70s you had the Superteams TV show. Players participated because $10,000 or so still meant something.

No one should. Quit trying to make All-Star games meaningful

Skills challenge
Food eating contest
Have each all pro read a book. We will be able to tell which player(s) can read.

Did the extra curricular activities end after the Patriot RB blew his knee out? Growing up the skills challenge was my favorite thing to watch. See who had the strongest arm for QBs, see the linemen bench absurd amount of weight, the gauntlet for RBs. Wish they would really spotlight that again.

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


This is the worst idea I've seen posted here maybe ever.

Maybe they should just have it for younger players like the NBA rising stars challenge. It would give younger players a chance to see the field and they would actually play hard

Give a million dollar bonus to the winning players. Easy.

Yes I know that’s too much money for what the ratings would still bring in...but they would okay their asses off.
