The NFL has announced that it is scrapping its traditional AFC vs NFC Pro Bowl format. They are moving to the NHL All-Star style "Fantasy Draft" format.
What are your thoughts on the changes to the Pro Bowl? Are you more inclined to watch it now?

So is it like back yard football, 2 captains and then alternate picks? I guess I don't have a reaction because the only All-Star game / event I watch is the MLB one, I hope they don't change that one.

I believe so...I thought I read that Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders will be the captains. I am unsure though. I think this will add some intrigue to the game.

There is no way that having captains pick the pro bowl teams is going to change whether or not fans want to watch the pro-bowl. It is essentially the same way it has always been unless this way takes away from the fan vote. Instead of last years super bowl coaches picking teams you are having a couple of hall of famers doing it. No matter how you pick the teams you still are playing the game with rules that slow it down and make it boring to watch. Players don't give it there all and the money they make for playing in it is chump change to almost all of the players. I don't believe there is any way to make this game enjoyable when it means nothing to the players, the coaches, and the fans.

I do think some ppl would check out the game out of curiosity, at least for this year...I think the game is an absolute joke though

I will give it a glance. I love a good school yard pick em. But as far as All Star games go, the NBA is very fun to watch. Early there is a lot of exciting plays and athleticism being shown, but the last 5 minutes of that game is the best basketball that you'll see in the entire world in any given year.... But yes, kudos to new NFL Pro Bowl format
