Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 honestly, not trying to be rude, but why would you waste money on going to the pro bowl? i mean, if you live in hawaii or are there on vacation and can go, so be it. but why would you go watch a meaningless popularity contest that holds no bearing on anything?

Salisbury Skins Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 the players don't take it seriously so why should we? There is a difference between taking something seriously or not and outright slamming it. It is obviously not intended to be a serious game. Only thing up for grabs is $40,000 to each player on the winning team and $20,000 to each on the losing team. Big deal. It would be great to see Cooley score a TD in number 21 though.

Hiro Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The only reason I'd think about going if I were in Hawaii would be to see Cooley and Samuels sporting #21 that day. Otherwise, no. If I were in Hawaii, I'd be getting wasted on the beach, relaxing in the sun, and surfing! Ahh ... to be in sunny Hawaii ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketCitySkins Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 LaDamien Tomlison, Jason Peters, Jonathan Ogden are three players who have already pulled out the game. Doesn't seem to me like the risk of injury would be worth it to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreenistheBest Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Um, because it's in Hawaii??!?!? It be cool to go to the game as part of a Hawaiian vacation... Again, it would be cooler NOT to go to the game as part of a Hawaiin vacation. If I had tickets, I'd sell them and go wind surfing or scuba diving instead.

You mean if it was here in Pittsburgh? Yeah, probably, if I wasn't busy. But I'm not wasting valuable Hawaii vacation time on a game with no meaning.

DCchillin89 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I wouldn't pay alot to go see it, but then again you are getting the once in a lifetime opportunity to see all the best players from around the league on one field at the same time. I would also like to go to this one to see Cooley and Samuels and possibly Albright wearing the Burgundy 21. I also hear there is something special planned for Sean at the beginning of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redshirtguy#45 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 the pro bowl is like pre-season, its an exhibition. most teams can't sell those out. the interest factor is low for me. the game is after all things are done for the year, player interest is low for actually playing, the effort is poor for those that play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else can you see so many NFL stars (they all go to malls and sign stuff while they're there) AND have a great vacation at the same time? Hawaii is a great place to visit JUST BECAUSE. Why not go in February when it's cold where you live AND you can get a ton of autographs AND see a ton of your favorite players all on the field at once?

I can get their autographs at any Redskins game or event just as likely as I could there. Couldn't care less about the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_Fan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I love watching the Pro Bowl, because it's the best of both conferences. But this year, I'm pissed that it's more of like the AFC vs. the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't care less about the rest of them. Yes, a ton. http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story;jsessionid=54DAAE31A199686178F9A60A87FA5827?id=09000d5d8053b226&template=with-video&confirm=true You must JUST be a Redskins fan? I'm a Skins fan above all else, but I'm also a FOOTBALL fan. I watch/go to every Skins game but I also watch every other game that's on. I love the game and respect talent when I see it. It may be a popularity contest, but these players (mostly, not all) are popular for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
