The NBA's is the best, methinks, given that the game itself just lends itself to razzle-dazzle and defense can be an afterthought without it hurting the enjoyment of the game. I like MLB's as well, I just wish they wouldn't tie it to anything meaningful like home field advantage in the Series. That bit is nuts. NBA's is definitely the best and even it has stupid elements like Kobe being the top vote getter despite being one of the worst players in basketball and Kyrie Irving making the team despite playing two weeks worth of games. It doesn't matter except for contract negotiations and just having that rough metric to point to how good a player was (i.e.: 12x All Star). But at least the NBA also provides a "First/Second/Third Team All NBA" which provides objective value. NFL has the "All-Pro" team at least, but let's have 2nd and 3rd team All Pro too. Just need to divorce the silly exhibition for the fans that All-Star games are from objective measures of player worth. I mean as a kid I loved all types of All-Star games. No need to get rid of them. Just need to strip them of any type of meaning and that goes triple for MLB because seriously that remains the dumbest thing ever. ETA: Ok, NFL has 2nd team All Pro. Cool. Somehow forgot that. But how about getting rid of FB as a spot on the All-Pro team? It's 2016, not 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Tiger Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Talk about hilarious in hindsight. Then again, before he had his car accident he did have some issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Independent George Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 As to the pro bowl itself. I would go with the flag foot ball route. No contact allowed other than playful lineman blocking each other. That didn't work out well for Robert Edwards... I vote for an OL vs DL pie-eating contest.

What is so horrible about this is that most of my fellow Cowboys fans are supporters of these two idiots and I can not deny it. Dallas itself is finally a liberal city, but we have idiots encamped all around us by morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfish Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 6 hours ago, Maithanet said: I agree with this. I think that just having a skills challenge and maybe some sort of Ninja Warrior style obstacle course (but more suited to the strength and size of NFL players) would be awesome. It wouldn't be must-see TV, but it would at least be fun, something the Pro Bowl clearly isn't. Battle of the network stars, NFL edition. I'd watch that.

Joe Pesci Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 What's all this Pro Bowl complaining? Who doesn't want to see Pac man Jones, the 7th alternate at CB, playing in the Pro Bowl? I read that technically there's something like 136 "pro bowlers" this year with dropouts and SB participants being counted. Not knocking on Jones' season either, but this year illustrates more than ever this event is a total sham, and a skills competition of some kind would be a much better choice and would get better players involved due to decreased chance of injury. Speaking of shams, Michael Sam thinks he can play in the NFL in 2016. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So Russell Wilson tweeted this: Quote PM #WCW I kissed her & she had honey sweet lips that were lilac soft w/ a loving & affectionate personality @Ciara Which, oh God: Yes, Russell Wilson is the kind of guy who googles "How to describe a beautiful woman" and then tweets it verbatim. Tell me it was just the one time. Oh....wait.... ETA: I have zero chance of ever getting this formatted correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
