By Michael David Smith - The seven players each on the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints who were chosen to the Pro Bowl won't play in it, as this year it happens a week before the Super Bowl.
But the NFL is still making the players show up. The league has told all the players who were chosen for the Pro Bowl that they'll have to be there to talk to the media before the game and stand on the sidelines at the start of it. And since the Saints and Colts have practice on Pro Bowl Sunday, that means players on both teams will practice in the morning, fly to Miami in the afternoon, and then fly back home at night. And then they'll fly back to Miami on Monday. Alex Marvez of Fox Sports reports that the Colts players are all going to leave the game at halftime of the Pro Bowl, which serves as a nice little reminder of how meaningless the league's annual all-star game is. Colts president Bill Polian ripped the league for requiring the players to fly down on Sunday, and it's hard to blame him. It's silly for players to spend hours on a plane when they could be spending those same hours preparing for the game in Miami that actually matters.

Maybe the whole team should just go down on Saturday and setup their HQ/practice there at a Miami Community College for the big week and just stay there. Just thinking out loud.

Re: Article:Colts and Saints players must attend probowl
You folks are trying to apply wisdom where it doesn't always reside.
Good luck with that. Who knows why they changed weekends. I'd bet it doesn't last long. Back to the old way next year? Why the heck did they change it in the first place? Brilliant! I think I'll have a Guiness. |
