Let’s cut to the chase: The NFL’s Pro Bowl is far superior in concept than in reality.
We’re all excited to see which players from our favorite teams are named to the roster, and we argue, fight and ridicule each other over who got selected — but the game itself is about as much fun to watch as, well, the Pro Bowl. There really is not much worse in the world of sports.
Plus, playing in the game means your team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, so… that stinks, too. Regardless, the designation of “Pro Bowler” is fun to debate, and a good way to stop and take stock of the individual performances of some of our favorite players.
