True. I mean I dont really like watching any of the ASG's theyre mostly boring and you can tell the players do not wanna be there. Dont think anyone would be too disappointed over it being dropped

I totally agree with you!

I think the other games are better to watch because they do not look as watered down as the football game.

Hockey sure their is no body checking or fights, but it's still interesting even the draft that they had this year.
Basketball is alright, but no defense again. It is cool to see the highlight plays and shots and that makes it interesting.
Baseball is probably the best all-start game, because their really isn't any watering down and the winning team gets homefield advantage in the world series.
Football, absolutely not effort, no tackling abilitiy, stars playing on special teams....just makes for an ugly game that nobody wants to watch.

I think if they would just have a skills contest for each position, and then play a flag football game let us see the faces without pads on make it fun. I would rather watch that than the awful game they put on now.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the last one, but with those ratings who cares how bad it looks.

I like the Pro Bowl about as much as any other ASG. There's no defense. It's just offense. I don't think many even care which side wins, it's about the showmanship of the stars playing the game. Nobody is calling the 11-10 NHL ASG a sham, even though how rarely do you see even one NHL team score 10 goals, let alone both in a game?

It is what it is. A skills competition will not be interesting if it is done alone instead of the game. The QB skill competition at the Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando did pitifully.

I think a skills competition would go over a lot better than the game.
