NFL has sunk to a new low.

My wife and I were eating supper and she turned on the TV looking for something to watch. She found the Pro bowl and decided to watch that. I could not believe what I was watching. Grown professional men playing patty cake football. When did they devolve into great big woosies?
That was the most idiotic thing I've ever seen on TV.

More than just wussies, its political now.
They aren't going out and play hardcore in a game that is really an exhibition rather than a money game. They are worth too much to chance getting hurt for the sake of an exhibition.
All true and really too bad. Used to get together with 5 or 6 buddies almost every Sun. to watch a game. We haven't done that in 4 years now🤨
I watched part of the game and Judy had to come into the room to see what I was alternately cursing and laughing at. Like bullshot, I understand it is an exhibition game and nobody wants to see their millions of dollars investments get hurt but it was a joke. I have seen harder play in powderpuff flag football games. I've never seen plays whistled dead before when no one was actually touching the ball carrier. Bob
I believe it was week 3 of the 2018 season that many teams decided kneeling didn't quite demonstrate sufficient disdain for my flag, or my country. They simply stopped taking the field for the National anthem. Their "bravery" was supported by the unamerican apologists at espn, and elsewhere. I turned off espn and all professional sports on that day. Thanx for reminding me of the many other reasons to not question that decision.
never watched any type of " Ball games " but sure sounds like it going the way of NASCAR and Hollywood in general the general public is tired of being forced fed the BS
sad to see our great country turned into a cesspool by the minority alphabet groups
I like to watch reruns of the classic football games that come on TV from time to time. Those were rough games. Old Y. A. Tittle, QB with the NY Giants, was a tough old bird.
to much soy😍
The pro bowl is a joke anyway. I turned the replay on last night just to see how bad it was. They weren't even rushing/blocking, the ol and dl just kinda stood up.
I get they had some sort of agreement not to play too hard and injure someone but that has excessive.
They should just announce the All-Pro teams and leave it at that, skip the actual game if that's how they are going to play.
The Pro Bowl has always been a device to fill in the "down" week between the last playoff game and the Stupor Bowl. It also serves as a means to give the best players at each position a bit of recognition outside their home fan base. Anyone who looks at it as a regular game is simply not thinking.
They might as well run them around the field one time as they call out their names. Makes about as much sense as what we saw.
I was born and lived the first part of my life in NE Ohio. Dad was a Browns fan, and when I first saw Jim Brown run for an 80+ yard touchdown while knocking 2 defenders flat on their butts, I was a Jim Brown and Cleveland Browns fan instantly. Those were the good old days. Nascar had Lee Petty, Football had real men, and politics had no place or reason to involve themselves in sports. I've said it many times, I would go back to the 50's in a heartbeat.

Sports as you get older matter less.
