Looking Back at the biggest game of the NFL calendar that fans never want to watch!
Last year the Pro Bowl was one of the worst attempts at having all of the best athletes play a COMPETIVE football game the world has ever seen. It was so bad that even the guys making the money from it said that if they didn’t do something different, they would stop having it. YOU MEAN A BOSS OF A COMPANY THAT WOULD RATHER NOT GET MONEY THAN WATCH YOU PLAY????
That is bad!
So, for this year they changed things up! Instead of AFC vs. NFC, they evened things out. They picked two of the greats, Rice and Sanders, and had them pick their teams. A nice little draft was done and people were thinking that this year would still be terrible.
They were ready to say “Nice try” to the NFL and begin complaining about another wasted Pro Bowl. Instead, they got an actual competitive game that saw everything teammates laying big hits on each other to a game winner with less than a minute left!

The part of the game that people figured would take the competitive part out of it was that teammates were now against each other. Would they decide to play a rough game of flag football so they won’t injure their own teammates?
NOPE!
Several hard hits were laid teammate to teammate in one of the most competitive games I have seen all season, much less the history of the Pro Bowl. It came down to a last minute two point conversion run by Mike Tolbert (OH Yeah Carolina fans!!!
And Cam scored too!) that all but clinch the game 22-21 for Jerry Rice.
They definitely need to keep this format for future Pro Bowls because people will actually want to watch this. Instead of stand-up tackles and hard pushing, there was real football!
The only disappointing part of the game was when Rice and Sanders didn’t play during the game. If that’s the only issue, we can all deal with it!
