Do players really care about the Pro Bowl? There are plenty who probably do. Take Jack Youngblood, for example. He played in the event with a broken leg.
But there are others who see it as a free trip to Hawaii to spend some time with the NFL's best. And those guys like to take full advantage of the festivities, including having some alcoholic beverages before the game.
“I went to (my first Pro Bowl in 2010) and some people were like, ‘Look, man. I’m playing dead serious. I’m finna win this,’" former NFL safety Brandon Meriweather said Wednesday on Toucher & Rich.
