Learned my lesson last year (time I'll never get back). Didn't watch it this year.

Did'nt watch it and don'nt even know who was in it. Its not real football let it go. Give a bonus to the players who get the votes.

It comes down to "He was hurt in a meaningless game!" or "They didn't even try!" Damned if you do and damned if you don't. As far as the Saturday to Manning snap I don't see any difference to that and allowing a "suspended" coach to watch his QB get an "all time" record that will be broken next year.

The Pro Bowl is the exact venue for the "last snap" scenario. They were doing it on their own time. They are professional football players aren't they?

It's not 'their time' if the fans are paying for the tickets, IMO. You buy a ticket to an All-Star Game, you should get all-star play. They wouldn't allow that kind of stuff during the regular season or playoffs, but you have to endure it for the price of a premium ticket in the ProBowl. I don't agree with it, it makes the game look staged & I would rather just see them stop playing the game.

If you have a situation like Saturday/Manning, Saturday could have retired, signed a one-day contract with Denver & snapped the ball to Manning on one play before retiring if it's that big a deal.
