The NFL decided it would be cool to have some of its best players compete in a dodgeball game in the days leading up to the boring-as-hell Pro Bowl, and thought it would be even cooler to call it “Epic Pro Bowl Dodgeball.” Honestly, that would have been a good enough blog right there, but an even jucier plot emerged during the playing of Thursday night’s game—Alex Smith sucks.
As the game got going, Jon Gruden—like many of the few hundred watching—suspected that the quarterbacks would be worth watching in this one. That makes perfect sense, seeing as they launch large footballs with spectacular exit velocities on a weekly basis.
