Pro Bowl Bounties (1 Viewer)

In order to make Pro Bowl more exciting, NFL may offer cash incentives to players for individual performance and making big plays during the game. Like a bounty? You decide.

Just ridiculous. Hope they have to suspend Roger for a season.

NFL considers making the Pro Bowl

Only if they get paid for cart offs and knock outs.

In essence, doesn't that mean that we were penalized for having initiative?

Yes. But it's only ok if it comes from the NFL...unless they change their mind after they tell you its ok (I.e. Deuce McCallister and StarCaps).

I agree with the last paragraph. Up the winning vs. losing cash and you'll probably see some hustle. When you have a bunch of or mostly multi-millionaires playing for $50,000 of course they aren't going to play up to par. Back in the day when players actually had to play to pay bills that worked but not in todays NFL where that's nothing(to them)

This is preposterous. Roger Goodell should be suspended for a year and docked of all his pay. He has the audacity to propose performance-based incentives? This is absurd.

If the players don't wanna play, strip them of their "All Pro" title and give it to players who wanna play the game.

All Pro has nothing to do with the Pro Bowl.

All Pro is a national media award that votes the top 1-2 players for each position.

But I get what you're saying.

The ProBowl is something of a "Catch-22" Every player covets that status (as it will lead to higher contracts in the future), but they don't want to play in them. Why? It's an additional chance for them to get injured (thereby reducing the value of potential future contracts)


Ironical, no?

 

[defstar]

Just needs to be cancelled. Skills comp... OK. But didn't they kill that a few years ago as a before the season hype machine? Still boring.

 

[defstar]

I don't want to see warren sapp yap yap yappin' on the sidelines anyway.

NFL should do something like the NBA allstar, have more activities to do.

 

[porculator]

People expect too much from the Pro Bowl. It's just a mediocre football game, no more, no less. Just let it be.
