I gave up on Pro-bowls... All-star games... etc. when fans starting voting. It is just a popularity contest.

Let the coaches vote. Let the players vote. Let previous NFL players (to a certain degree) vote. They REALLY know what the game is about... more then you or I would EVER know.

This is ridiculous...Ben goes undefeated his rookie season and gets no pro-bowl recognition? What a freakin' joke.

That was sort of my point...these players HAVE to market themselves...put the game back in the continental states so that the average fan gets a chance to see a bunch of pro-bowlers. Make the incident a marketing incident instead of a vacation.
I can promise you 99.9 percents of Agents will light a fire under their players butts to be there if may mean a wider fan base...and therfore ...more commercials..more endorsements.
..and actually ALOT of people skip it!!!!
Last I checked...15 replacements this year!

I hope something crazy happens like Tiki getting to throw a TD pass to his brother. That's the only reason I watch, to see some crazy stuff in the game.

Other than that it is kind of point less. It is the worst all-star game out there. Even the NHL all star game is better. But since I love football, I'll watch.
