Brees will replace RG3 in the Pro Bowl
 

It looks like it truly is a new year in New Orleans, where a cloud seemed to hang over the Saints all of last season -- and most of last offseason.

But the outlook suddenly is a lot more positive. On the same day the team officially announced coach Sean Payton’s contract extension was finalized, Drew Brees announced, on his Twitter account, that he’s going to the Pro Bowl.

“I’m excited to join teammates Jahri Evans and Thomas Morstead at the Pro Bowl in a few weeks. Praying for a speedy recovery for RG3,’’ Brees tweeted.

Brees initially wasn’t selected to the Pro Bowl. But he obviously was a first alternate and the injury to Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III means Brees will be going to Hawaii.

Well.............then I guess I'm going to watch the most boring game in the world.
Godhell is ruining this sport. I'd rather watch soccer.:roll:

Even though it was ridiculous I was glad he didn't make it. I still won't watch it.

Re: Brees will replace RG3 in the Pro Bowl
 

I'll watch I always do.

Re: Brees will replace RG3 in the Pro Bowl
 

I may start watching it as well!

Nice !

Re: Brees will replace RG3 in the Pro Bowl
 

I still won't watch. The Pro Bowl is a f'ing joke.

Brees tried to drop kick last year.......THATS how boring it is/was. I don't know why they wont just do away with the Pro Bowl. Just give the players that Pro-Bowler title and send them and their family on a free trip to Hawaii........cuz thats basically all the players want anyway...the free trip. No need for people to be put thru watching a glorified walk thru.

Waist perfect time to get hurt game of nothing that means nothing. Just give the players a bonus or a trip and leave us fans out of it.

Re: Brees will replace RG3 in the Pro Bowl
 

It just give me a reason to watch Football. I want to bring back the skills competition. Nothing to see here move along. Move along.

I'd rather watch fishing.

I can remember being in the Navy and stationed at Great Lakes. One Friday night...I think it was Friday, could be wrong...me and a couple of guys from the base drove into Chicago to old Soldier Field and watched the year before NFL champs, Pittsburgh, play against a group of senior college all-stars. Yep...believe it or not...they use to do that. I don't think the all-stars ever won.

BTW...around midway through the 3rd quarter the skies opened and rain was coming down in buckets. One of the fans ran out on the field after a play and slid a long way. This induced another, then another...eventually the field was covered with people. They ended up calling the game and this was the first time I ever saw any football game called because of weather. It was definitely the right thing to do considering who was playing...just never saw it before.

LB, I remember reading about those games. You're right the Pros always beat down the college stars, as they should. Even if you took the worst NFL team today and put them up against Bama it would still be a whooping. It was a pointless game, much like the PB is today.

I'd rather see a skills test weekend. Fastest, highest jumper, strongest, longest kick...make it voluntary and anyone who wants to compete can. Mix in a few of their best plays as filler and you have a good show, one that people would actually be excited to watch.

Re: Brees will replace RG3 in the Pro Bowl
 

I will probably watch - the way Goodhell is running the league the ProBowl is a little glimpse into the future of how all NFL games will be played.
