    How about we ditch the Pro Bowl?

    Not the selections but the game itself. It simply is not a tackle football game. I don't blame them for not wanting to get hurt but when did they stop even tackling? My wife suggested that flag football would be better than this and she is right. That might be a tolerable way to make it watchable. Then they aren't pretending.What makes me especially disgusted is that ESPN went out of their way in "pre-game" to talk about how this was not going to be all out but would be more competitive than recent Pro-Bowls and for non football fans they didn't mean score wise. They meant in terms of resembling football. Why go and make a point of that when it was not true? It was even worse than usual.
    Thoughts?
