Your ideas to make the Pro-Bowl more competitive.

[Painkiller]

I have one. Each team in the conference that wins the game, gets an extra home game the following season, against a losing conference opponent.

For the Redskins, this could work this way. In 2011 the Redskins play the Bills and Dolphins away. The NFC just won the Pro-Bowl, so with my rule one of those two games would now be a home game for the Redskins.

Replace the players with players from the Lingerie Football League. May not be more competitive, but will certainly be more interesting!

There's, about 256 regular season games, a handful of playoff games, a Superbowl, and even the (56?) pre-season games have significance to bubble players. I can live with the pro-bowl not being significant. It would be nice to have skills competitions though.

Never mind. I need coffee. lol

There are 65 preseason games, I think though.

Eliminate it. It is pointless.

Your home game thing would never work, because not every team is represented.

The game is pointless. The sport is to violent for the game to ever work. The only, and I mean only, thing that could work is move the Pro-Bowl to kick-off the next season. That would generate hype just like the HOF game does. That to me is the only way it would work.

Make the punters run the ball every time. Probably the most exciting thing was seeing Moorman getting blown up by ST.

Whats a probowl?

[GhostofSparta]

Losing team is forced to take a 10% paycut the next year. Pro Bowl MVP get a card for 1 "Get out of Penalty" free card to be used whenever he wants.

The winning team players are exempt from 2 a days in training camp the next year.

I like the Pro Bowl. It's a game that should be played for what football really is: a game. Sure the players get extra money and the MVP gets something like a car. But this game is for fun and not a competition as such. Although certain players' competitive streak comes out.

[ouvan59]

The only way the players are going to take it seriously is if you offer them serious money. The gimmicks like MLB baseball tries don't work. Give each player on the winning team $500K and you might get some guys that try.

Why change it at all? It's a all star game and frankly it's not supposed to be competitive. The teams don't want it to be hard fought because they don't want their players injured or risking injury for a game that means nothing to their franchises. It's a celebration game for the players more than the fans. Let them have their fun.

[Texasaurus]

How bout don't have it all seems to me a waste of time

These, exactly.

Why the hell does it bug so many people that its not a high-quality game? Who the **** cares? So.....don't watch the damn thing. The players are having fun and are basically on vacation, being rewarded for good play throughout the regular season. The fact that its televised shouldn't matter, if you don't like the product.

The players are having fun, and no one's getting hurt. The only thing that could make it better would be to bring back the skills competition...but other than that, people just like to *****.

I thought the winning conference's team in the following year superbowl gets treated like he home team, so they get first pick of the jerseys
