Flag football strangely interesting.

Catch contest bombed.

Anything is an improvement.

Ita embarrassing that in this last flag game Herbstreit and McAfee are pretending what these players are doing has anything to do with actual football.

I went and saw Groundhog Day at the theater.

I can't believe anybody is watching any of this shit.

I saw one minute of the lasr game. The worst. And the league seems to have forgotten that earlier this century a star rookie got seriously fucked playing in 4 on 4 flag rookie game. Not entertaining. Not safe.

I saw two minutes of the punt pass and kick tic tack toe and laughed out loud at anyone who played a roll in making that circus.

The league makes so much money yet there is so much dumb being decided on its unbelievable. I guess making the investors even mire money has to trump all.

Sad really.

I think the problem is too much fear of stupid injuries even when players engage in much riskier activity in the offseason.

Just give me a softball game, some bball, maybe a golf tourney and even bowling and that would be fun to see.

I had no desire to watch any of it after just reading what they were thinking about doing a couple months ago. I'd rather watch clips of the old QB competitions they used to do with the guys throwing for distance and accuracy. Remember them throwing at those moving targets, the big bullseyes on the golf cart looking things? Then they'd do some like mini obstacle course. One of the Bengals QBs I think it was bit it pretty good on one of those. I remember Kordell being pretty impressive on the distance portion too.
Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

I didn’t see one second of any of it and don’t even know what the lasr game is.

It's family/kids stuff.

The Pro Bowl (and NHL All Star game) is about getting the big stars in front of the camera and letting them have some fun.

If you aren't interested in it, don't watch it.

I refuse to give ratings to crap like this.

I had golf on.
Jibba Jabber’s offense hasn’t scored more than 7 1st quarter points in 82 consecutive games. An NFL record by far. A historic amount of “easin in”. We are lucky to have him.

Watched some of it. It was interesting seeing those guys without all the pads and stuff.

It reminded me of the Superstars back in the day.

They should include players and people from other sports.

Like Rosie O'Donnell lining up at wideout.

I think he meant last game. There were three flag football games.

The worst Pro Bowl related injury came in a 4 on 4 flag football game. Google Robert Edwards RB Patriots.

Yes the big stars like Tyler Huntley!
