    Drew Brees will be the NFC offensive MVP in the Pro Bowl.

    Still not going to happen, just like the all star game.

    It’s nothing but a ego trip for the players,and another game to bet or buy numbers for.

    Lord knows they don’t need anymore help with there egos.

    And I think Favre only went to the first one he was on way back in the mid 90’s.

    My guess is the network figures that the fans will be so pumped to watch any pro football on that Sunday before the SB that they will watch the pro bowl. Just my guess.

    why doesnt the nfl/tv just get rid of the extra week between the afc/nfc title games and the super bowl?

    yeah, i know, gotta have that extra week of hype/commercials/etc…. [puke graemlin]

    The NFL is definitly pushing things. I predict this will be the first and last time we see this swap. Since the games are pretty boring, maybe they should host a skills competition on the Saturday of the Super Bowl in the SB host city. Oh, that won’t work. That would take time away from them shooting up night clubs, visiting strip clubs and scoring.

    I liked it after the SB for the reason that it’s kind of a last little bit of football after the two weeks of hype to the SB.. I will watch it this year though.

    I heard the reason for the move was to hype the Super Bowl the following week. I also heard they wanted to get the game out of Hawaii because it was poorly attended. And with todays economy who wants to spend all that $$$ going to Hawii to watch a bunch of overpaid athletes loaf aroung a football field. I did go one year in Hawaii and it was so comletely boring we left and went and played golf.

    Hopefully they will be there and then they can afford to buy tickets to the Superbowl with their extra Pro Bowl check

    One thing you should think about is all the millitary personel over there, there is no pro sports besides golf and surfing, 1 can only watch so much golf

    But Jim if the Vikes are at the pro bowl then Aaron Rodgers won’t get to play much because once again he’ll be backing up Favre.
