The Pro Bowl is the game NFL players want to be named to — for the status, at least, and maybe a little extra bonus money — but don’t really care so much about otherwise.
The game fans say they don’t want to watch but often still do — last year’s “contest’’ drew roughly 7.5 million TV viewers, more than anything else on cable that day and all but six college bowls played last year.
And if nothing else, for Seahawks fans Sunday’s Pro Bowl marks the last time they’ll have a chance to see any of their favorites play football of any kind for six months.
