NFL Pro Bowl Trash Talk

/26 Comments/in , , , /by

Hahahahaha, psyche!

No, there is no substantive Pro Bowl Trash Talk. Because the Pro Bowl is a complete worthless joke.

This is a let loose on idiocy in general post. Which is more than what the NFL Pro Bowl is at this point.

Have fun and let yer hair down.

Music by Jefferson Airplane. Paul Kantner was an incredibly nice, and extremely under appreciated, seminal musician. RIP Mr. Kantner, and thanks.

    The Superb Owl talk is the rearranging of letters on the temporary – and reportedly un-permitted – statues in SF.

    I’m wondering if there will also be talk of Johnny Football’s latest incident.

    This is the NFL, which has to be The Best. In Everything. Ever.
    .
    MLB can have a screwy tie in their All Star game. The NHL can whittle their game to a 3-on-3 scrimmage, with one of this year’s teams captained by a minor leaguer elected by Teh Internet as it trolled the system. But they both take a back seat to Roger The Fleecer and the Pro Bowl.
    .
    Roger will tell you himself: it’s not a completely worthless joke. It creates millions in revenue for The Shield. God knows why, but it does. We can laugh, but Roger will laugh all the way to the bank.

      As pathetic as the Pro Bowl is, keep in mind that it often gets higher ratings than World Series games. As Yakoff Smirnoff would say, “what a country!”

    Suggestion for next year’s Pro Bowl. . . .
    .
    After the players are named to the team, require that the defensive players play offense, and the offensive players play defense. Kickers become returners, and the player who weighs the most on each team must do the kicking.

    Basketball, baseball, and hockey have All Star games. Why not football? Come on, you people are all so smart, tell me how football is different. It’s an honor for the players. Can’t you just ignore it and let it go on? Why is your opinion so much more important than theirs?

    • Peterr says:

      It’s because the players think it’s silly. They have no problem being honored by being named the best at their position, but then they have to go out and play a game that does not matter, and in which they risk potentially career ending injuries. Add to that the fact that players on the two teams in the Super Bowl do not play. Add to that the fact that the folks who walk away with the bulk of the money are not the players but the owners.
      .
      At least in baseball, they use the same rules as during the regular season. The Pro Bowl is flag football without the flags, masquerading as a highly professional, highly competitive game.
      .
      The players know that it’s a crock. I’m simply agreeing with the players.

      • bloopie2 says:

        All (or most of) the players feel that way? Evidence thereof? Also, I am curious to see statistics on the number of career ending injuries that have been suffered in the Pro Bowl. And, “masquerading as a highly professional, highly competitive game”? Doubtful. Who thinks that to be the case? None of the various sports’ all-star games come across that way; everyone knows it’s just a chance to show off some skills and have a bit of fun while you are being honored. And, as to the money not going to the players, so what? Isn’t every regular season game just like that? Should we cancel all of those also?

    Bmaz the musical choice is outstanding bringing to mind falls in Ithaca, New York cruising the collegetown streets in a firebird wailing 3/5 of a mile in its wake. If trash is your game than Kantner and the Airplane were your musical guest (or as my lovely wife said concerning the Airplane, “they’re in your face”). Now excuse me while I rummage out my dusty copy of Bless its Pointed Little Head and continue the reverie.

  8. bmaz says:

    Bless It’s Pointed Little Head is one of the most kick ass albums ever. Still have mine, and the poster insert, though both have a lot of wear and tear over the decades.

  9. bloopie2 says:

    What on earth does Roger Goodell have to do with a game in which (most of) the sport’s best players are honored? Let the guys have a bit of fun; don’t use their big day as yet another excuse to criticize him. And bmaz is right; it’s better to watch game this than to watch one slow, boring, World Series game after a 20,000 game MBL season that lasted forever. That baseball game may mean something, but it’s really shit to watch on TV.

  10. bloopie2 says:

    Here’s idiocy for you. The NFL Network running half hour programs, one after another, of Super Bowl game highlights. From old to new. Fifty in a row, all night long. What idiot wastes his time watching such crap? What idiot decided to pay people a salary to make those shows? And most tellingly, what idiot blithely pays his cable bill every month, unquestioningly, knowing that a small portion of it goes to the NFL Network to subsidize such idiocy? Honestly, that was one of my choices last night, out of the 560 (I counted) different channels I had available. So I went to bed.

    As usual, the NYT plays the understatement game very, very well: “Inquiry Focuses on Manziel” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/sports/football/inquiry-focuses-on-manziel.html?_r=0

    Y’know, though, it was in Texas right near JerryWorld. So, I could see Jerry hiring Young Mr. Football after the Browns take their losses (first round pick, millions of dollars) and wash their hands. Since he’s doing all this crap in Texas, Jerry could just hire a team of minders to keep him on the straight and narrow, drive him to work, yadda yadda.

    Or not, and let us enjoy the entertainment value of a guy with some talent flying his career straight into the ground.

    Whatever else you say about Tebow (still available! working out! in shape!), he didn’t screw up off the field.

  15. Bitter Angry Drunk says:

    Actually I believe Goodell threatened to cancel the Pro Bowl a couple of years back due to its pointlessness. It’s the players — the ones that choose to go — who like that week in Hawaii in January. Can’t say that I blame them.

    To Peterr at # 21, this is a family blog, why would you ask me a question demanding a NSFW answer like that??
