Jimmy Kicks Corner
With the upcoming main event of this weekend's NFL festivities I thought I would share a little bit about the NFL's version of the all-star game and how B.S. it is. You'd probably get more of a kick watching a gay guy watch Glee than watching the Pro Bowl yourself. What ever happened to wanting to be an all-star and being the best all-star? Not only has it been lagging since roughly around the mid 90's but since the new 2k it has been a disaster.
To think that we don't even have a skills competition anymore is ridiculous. If you go to any football camp you're doing these competitions. I don't care how you fancy yourself a football player if you've played any competive football you've had your hand around one of these competitions. Why not see the best in the world do it?
Why the hell is it played before the Super Bowl? So lets get this, players that are playing in perhaps the biggest game in the world have to be punished if they're selected to the Pro Bowl by being benched? Dumb.
They could HOWEVER do the skills competition. Let's say miraculously the Eagles got to the Super Bowl and Vick was benched for the Pro Bowl. Tell me you wouldn't want to see Vick and someone like Peterson or Chris Johnson going at some type of run skills competition.
Malarkey.
NFL please bring it back. Bring us back to what it means to being an all-star. Turn the Pro Bowl into something again.
