Earlier this year I was a guest blogger on Black Sports Online and I detailed my unhappiness with the NFL’s Pro Bowl. I won’t go into all the details, but I thought the Pro Bowl was lame. The first problem was that it was in Hawaii and the players voted in didn’t show up half the time. For more of my gripes, click the link. But that’s neither here nor there, because in 201o the Pro Bowl comes state-side!
According to an official of the NFL who want to remain anonymous, the Pro Bowl is slated to precede the Super Bowl on January 31st, in Miami, FL!! Yeaaaahhh!!!!
It’s not a new notion to have the game moved up to take place between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl. The NFL has discussed it multiple times in recent years, and commissioner Roger Goodell told the AP last month that having the game precede the Super Bowl would avoid a “somewhat anticlimactic” ending to the season.
The Pro Bowl has been held in Honolulu since 1980, and it’s probable that the game will return to Hawaii after 2010, although not on the permanent basis as has been the case over the last three decades.
For those concerned with the players going to the Super Bowl the league’s plan is for players those squads not to take part in the Pro Bowl. Isn’t this exciting!!!
See if the cards are falling for you, play
