Does anybody even watch this?  I just starting watching it now and it’s not even interesting.  I didn’t even know what time it was and I had completely forgotten about it.  Had it not been for it playing in the lobby at the gym I was at, I would have never known it was on.

 

It always seems boring, year after year.

The defense aren’t even allowed to blitz, might as well call it flag football. It’s boring because football is an emotional, intense, passionate game and when you don’t have that, it’s really not even worth watching.

they need to have a skills competition like hockey

I’ve always thought they should have those mini games from Madden as their skills challenge.  Along with one for kickers, they kick from certain spots on smaller goal posts and receive points.. or something of that sort.  But they should really use the mini games from Madden.

they used to have skills competitions at the pro bowl like obstacle course and throwing kicking and lifting competitions. They were definitely better than the game.

Yeah, it does not mean much, but it is fun. All-Star games are a cool way to honor players, and I like that they have it the week between the Super Bowl now, when it is not overkill after the season championship. I mean, football is so physically demanding and punishing, this game is too honor the best players from this season and to let them do their thing. Plus, keep it in Hawaii, because it is awesome. You do not have to care, people rarely do, but it is kind of cool to see the best players playing together one last time during the season. Plus, at least it is always high scoring, which shows you it is not serious, but more of a display for fans. It is not the blood thirsty version of football, but it is usually competitive and has some amazing athletes displaying their skills. I remember Deion Sanders returning a pick and Jonathan Ogden, all 6-8 and 318 pounds, chased him down and tackling him so the NFC could not score before half time. Cool stuff like that happens during the regular season and play-offs, but this is a team full of guys making big plays. That is kind of cool, even if they do not play close to as hard as they normally would.
