🏈 The Pro Bowl Was Yesterday?

What to know: Like most professional leagues, the NFL has a Pro Bowl problem. It’s had it for a while, but every year I get reminded at how bad it is. I only tuned in for a few minutes, like most I’m sure. For me, flag football with NFL stars just really doesn’t get me all fired up.

If you really wanted to know, the NFC defeated the AFC. But did you really want to know? I don’t have all the answers, and neither does the NFL. But what could the NFL do instead? Let’s brainstorm…

Karaoke: Okay, I may sound crazy, but hear me out. You ever watched Hard Knocks and they make the rookies do the talent shows where they sing songs in front of their teammates and coaches and staff? If you haven’t, go watch. It’s hilarious. Some of the most iconic moments of the show come from that. Aidan Hutchinson singing Michael Jackson? Electric! I’d watch.

American Ninja Warrior: NFL players doing American Ninja Warrior would be unreal! It’s not a high injury risk, not any less than flag football. It’s fun, it’s easy, it’s exciting. Plus, it shows how great the athletes are in the league. Maybe I just like seeing great athletes do things they’re not specialized in, but I think this could be cool.

3v3 Basketball: Yeah, yeah, yeah, “they’re gonna get hurt”. They’re playing flag football instead! It’s the same thing! I want dunks, I want trash talk, I want lineman backing down lineman. It would be electric. They all play basketball in the offseason anyway, at least this is under control and under the purview of the NFL.

If the NFL keeps extending the season, they may want to consider some sort of “All-Star Break”, just 2 weeks off in the middle of the season. Would they be able to put some sort of game together that would actually mean something in the grand scheme of things? I don’t know. That was just my brain going for a second there. Let us know if you have any cool ideas!
