Bolt Notes: Pro Bowl Edition!

Here is my official take on the NFL Pro Bowl: WHO CARES?

That's about it! Okay, as a Chargers fan, I would like to see the players from the Chargers who made the team do well and have the AFC win the game. That being said, if they don't, I won't lose any sleep at all. 

Now, when this game was played in Hawaii and it was after the Super Bowl, I still didn't care that much. But I was far more interested than I am now. This new way of running the Pro Bowl has to be one of the worst ideas in sports history. 

The NFL changed the location from Hawaii to the new Super Bowl site and the result:  Many players were not inspired to go (no offense South Florida). 

Next, the NFL decides that they should play the game before the Super Bowl (am I allowed to write "Super Bowl"?), instead of the week following. Result: None of the Super Bowl participants will be allowed to play. They get to show up to Florida a day before their team and wave at the crowd during pregame festivities. Sounds like fun to me! 

Further results: So many players have opted out of the Pro Bowl that it isn't even an All Star game anymore.

The NFL says that this new Pro Bowl setup is already a success because the media is talking about the game more than ever. The problem is that the media, and Joe Blow on the corner, are only talking about it to say how stupid it is.

Prediction:  AFC 38   NFC  31  

MVP Chris Johnson (assuming he is going to play)

Enjoy the game that is if you bother watching.
