I actually watched this ****ING thing. Yeah, it's a joke but I haven't watched it in a few years and it's the last football fix until spring practice.
Here are some observations:
1. Watching a bunch of millionares on vacation is a waste of time; should've known better.
2. Having interviews on the sidelines during the game remined me of that joke known as the XFL.
3. Listening to one player after another complain about their contract was enough to make me want to vomit.
4. Time for me to take my rose-colored glasses off I guess. Being selected to play in the Pro Bowl should be the ultimate honor in football and a chance to represent your team with pride. However, it looks like the only reason these guys make the trip is to market themselves to another team or recruit someone from another team who is unhappy with their contract (pretty much everybody) on to their team.
5. C'mon guys! Give me a break with the $45,000 thing. These guys were making it sound like that is all the money they have in the world. I'm sure those players on the winning team probably spent that money on dinner for their extended families at the nearest Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
The whole deal just reminded me of how far pro athletes are from the real world.
Last time I ever watch it.
Finished venting, thanks for reading.
