The best is Aaron Rodgers bitching about players in the Pro Bowl not playing hard and just going through the motions. I’m sure he’d feel differently if someone tried too hard and he’d get hurt.

They just need to do away with the game. Name the teams and be done with it. The players don’t want to play and there is no reason the QB with the 7th most votes should get Pro Bowler next to his name because the guys in front of him refused to play.

I think the dunk contest at its worst is probably better than the Pro Bowl at its best. That thing is just awful. I like the captain idea with the All-Star game although it’s not too bad as it is.

Slam Dunk Contest = the Pro Bowl; I don’t think it’s salvageable. The AllStar game itself could be more watcheable though if you have two captains pick teams a la hockey.

He is probably the best dunker ever and it would be a shame if he isn’t in it.Elbow

So you are the one that clicks on the dunk posts.

If the HR Derby would go from 8 to 3 to champ it’d be the perfect pointless sports happening with the added bonus of freeing up more time for ESPN to show more of the Celebrity Softball Game

James White can two-hand and go between the legs from the free throw line. I would say that’s an upgrade. He is probably the best dunker ever and it would be a shame if he isn’t in it.

Putting a couple no-names in it won’t make it watchable. They are still doing the same dunks Jordan did in the 80s. The only impressive thing to me is that guys in the Russian league can dunk from the free throw line.

Jason – Congrats on the new snot-slinger. That is quite the Christmas present. I hope you are getting your sleep.

It is borderline unwatchable.

Yes it is. Endless re-attempts are a big part of the problem but that thing with the car was just stupid. I’m getting grumpy, though.
