The Pro Bowl is happening this Sunday the 31st in Honolulu and frankly nobody cares. The only All-Star games that matter are the NBA and MLB. Baseball is the best one because it actually approximates the closest to an actual game. Basketball is fun for the spectacle aspect because it’s in the middle of the season.

In the NBA All-Star game nobody plays defense football is even worse because the game is after the season is over with and in football nobody plays defense because everybody wants to  avoid getting hurt. For example  Patriots running back Stevan Ridley got injured in a Pro Bowl game and suffered  a devastating knee injury.

Players get paid too much now to risk their health playing in a Pro Bowl which is ridiculous and they all feel that way and of course the players are honored to be chosen there’s no doubt about that. Of course it makes a big difference in a lot of players contract.
