Players will never agree to a skills competition. They already did the combine, why run another sprint and possibly show you've slowed down? Or you know, be Jamaal Charles and blow out your knee? It's stupid for them to ever do that.

Yeah, you totally have that proof that when the skills competition existed that the top names didn't come to earn bragging rights every year.

Wait a minute.....

Didn't they used to play flag football as well?


That was fun. Flag football 7 on 7 or whatever. Same shit the NHL is doing this year.

The NHL is doing a flag football game? That's a great idea, make the pro bowlers play hockey. Everyone would tune in for that shit!

I just want to see Flacco and Cutler duke it out in the deep ball chucking competition every year.

Sexy Rexy would come out of retirement and have that competition on lockdown.

2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game to be transformed into 3-on-3 tournament | 2016 NHL All-Star Weekend

3 on 3 all star game. Flag football on skates.

Or, you know, just get rid of it. Announce a Pro Bowl team for AFC and NFC like before, but don't play a game. Just let players with that boondoggle on their contract collect the extra cheddar for the achievement.

I've always thought keeping the pro-bowl players, but randomizing the position they play would make for some excellent tv. Watching Ndamukong Suh throwing deep to Peyton Manning who's covered by Brady would never, ever get old

Just so we're clear, the Pro Bowl is such a joke that even thecoachesare now claiming illness to get out of it, as Mike McCarthy of the Packers is backing out on the NFC side.

Football is just so violent, and the season is so short (only 16 real games + some portion of a pre-season game) that one more meaningless game with some health risk for a pair of plane tickets doesn't make sense for anyone.

Either turn it into a skills competition people can't get out of unless they are on IR*, or turn it into a Flag Football game involving only first two year players as a "Game of Tomorrow". Because the current system doesn't make sense for anyone.

*Would probably require the NFLPA to agree, which means it wouldn't happen until 2021.

Or make the game meaningful in some way?

See what happens when you have a black quarterback



That roar tho..

this trendy new controversy that America has a problem with Cam Newton being a black superbowl quarterback is pretty funny.

1. There's been a black QB in the superbowl 4 years consecutively. Kaepernick, Wilson, Wilson, Newton

2. Newton has a recent statement where he goes "...because im black. Nobody's ever seen anything like me..." - really cam? How about literally every NBA game. There's 10 6'5+ 250+ guys on the floor. Like 73% of the NFL is black Cam, we've seen this shit before.

Raiders Exploring Move to Las Vegas: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction | Bleacher Report

man my skin is tingling I called this shit SO LONG AGO.

Las Vegas Raiders. There is nothing more perfect

Las Vegas Raiders would turn me into a two-team faggot quick fast in a hurry.

Think of the children, Cam. Think about what you're doing.

NFL has an anti-gambling stance, a Vegas team probably will never happen.

Las Vegas would be a fucking terrible place for players though.
