Is there a worse sporting event? I could only make it through 3 plays.

So I switched over to Seinfeld. Much better.
JACKIE: You put the balm on? Who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you

to put the balm on. Why'd you put the balm on? You haven't even been to see the

doctor. If your gonna put a balm on, let a doctor put a balm on.

KRAMER: I guess I screwed up huh Jackie?

JACKIE: Your damn right you screwed up. Where the hell did you get that damm balm

anyway?

KRAMER: The Maestro.

JACKIE: The who? What are you talking about Maestro?

KRAMER: My friend he's a conductor.

JACKIE: Oh oh oh, so a Maestro tells you to put a balm on and you do it?

KRAMER: Well my stomach was burning.

JACKIE: I tell you what this is. This is a public humiliation.

KRAMER: Well I didn't know the balm was gonna work.

JACKIE: Do you know what a balm is? Have you ever seen a balm? Didn't you read

the instructions?

KRAMER: Well I ...

JACKIE: (interrupts) No one can tell what a balm's gonna do. They're unpredictable.

KRAMER: I'm sorry Jackie.

so incredibly boring.

MLB All Star game>NBA all star game>NHL all star game>Pro Bowl.

I think NHL and NFL are tied. Two sports that are nearly useless without the physical aspect of the game. It's like watching pee-wee squads with famous names squaring off against each other.

really the NBA is down there with them. The utter lack of defensive effort is embarrassing.

The MLB game is by no means perfect, but at least the pitchers are usually bringing it and the defense is adequate.

I think they should cancel the All-Star games. They've clearly outlived their usefulness.

I'm a huge sports fan and i don't think I've ever bothered to watch a single minute of the Pro Bowl. MLB is the best but I only watch because I'm a baseball junkie. I only tune in to the NBA to see some dunks.

When the Pro Bowl rosters are announced it's a huge deal - not who's on it, but who got "snubbed." The analysts and players themselves [expletive] about who deserved to be on there and who didn't. It's a big story.

Then when the game actually happens, half the players ask out for various reasons and the game itself is pure crap.

I love this.

What could they do to make the pro bowl more exciting?

Obviosly home field advantage in the super bowl isn't an option, and you can't really play it before the season is done.

What if the defense is allowed to blitz all they want, and each team has a scrub QB that stands beside the Pro Bowl QB during play, and the D is allowed to sack the scrub as hard as they want (it results in a sack if he is tackeled before the real QB gets rid of it)? :toast:

the pro bowl should be decided by the selected players playing Madden
