Man, JJ Watt looks like he damn near had his finger ripped off. No one can say that he's not playing hard.

That was pretty cool ..... the NFC allowing Jeff Saturday to take a snap for the AFC to snap the ball to Peyton Manning one final time.

Agreed, pretty classy move right there. I will say the effort seems to be much improved from last year.

Well each Manning has thrown a TD now in the Pro Bowl.

Both for the AFC.

How about Cribbs with the TD catch.

Regular season, I don't know if that stands, but good for him.

Lol I had a weird feeling he'd "catch" a TD in this game ... good going Josh (kinda)

It's been time to do away with the Pro Bowl game entirely. A meaningless game that the players obviously don't want to give 100% effort in. I only watched the 2nd and 3rd quarters just to see if I could see Phil Dawson kick a FG. Too bad I wasn't really interested otherwise.

Just another day at the office for Cribbs, DelsieD. Still good for him. More offense than I believed I would see. Just not a game I cared about much. Was glad for Thomas going again.

Eliminate the game itself.

Bring back the skills competition. So players still get their trip to the beach.

Have a flag football game. Like they do with celebs and such. I honestly think they'd take that game more seriously.

Everyone hates the pro bowl, but everyone on my twitter timeline was watching the game.

I've never watched the pro bowl, not a second of it. I remember asking my dad about it when I was a little kid, because we always watched the MLB and NBA all star games, but never the pro bowl. He basically told me it was worthless. Honest to God I've never even flipped over to it for a second. Although I do remember seeing the replay of Sean Taylor destroying that kicker who tried the fake.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think I've ever watched a Pro Bowl game.

Oh wait, there was one year,, I think it was the year that we won 10 games and had 7 or 8 players from the Browns playing. even then, I only watched for about 10 minutes..

it's a honor and all, but the game is secondary to me

doesn't mean much at all

Me either.. football is just not a sport that lends itself to all-star games with nothing on the line... I didn't watch it when it was after the super bowl and I don't watch it now that its before...

i don't watch the probowl either. heck, I forgot about it until i saw a thread about the AFC pants on here Sunday night.

but, it somehow gets ratings equivalent of the World Series, so it will continue.

If we ever had a QB worth anything I might find the pro-bowl more interesting. If Bernie was at the helm throwing to AJ Green, I might want to see that.

In sports I am loyal only to the browns. I watch very little else besides a tiny bit of march madness and NBA playoffs. I don't get the interest if you aren't rooting for your squad.

I watched those replays all week long on NFL network and loved them, agree.

Although it might have been more for nostalgic purpose, it was much more entertaining than the game itself aside from the year they had the old timers flag football game. That was bad.

Ok one, who fakes a punt in the pro-bowl? and two, pretty cool of the punter to go pat him on the head after the hit.

Yea, I guess deep down inside these coaches and players, no matter how meaningless this game is, they still have this urge to win... Just seems odd to me to fake a punt, heck line up and go for it if you want but fake punts require a lot of practice, timing and deception to work... as shown on this clip, defenders are just too fast to pull it off if it's not set up right.

I can watch most NFL games, most college football, any hockey, NBA playoffs. I don't really get into men's hoops until the tournament, although I have watched all of OSU's big games this year.

I don't watch baseball anymore. I still follow the tribe, I will watch them if they are on TV, usually against the sox, but I'm not paying for any extra package or anything. It's not worth my money. I already drop about 250 a year to watch the Browns win between 4 and 5 games.

I have grown over the last 10 years to enjoy soccer. I watch the English league in the mornings on the weekend, and I always flip over to Barcelona if they are on.

Well, I may be in the minority, but I watched the Pro Bowl, and accept it for what it is ...... an All Star exhibition.

I also watch the Indians and Cavaliers .... and, of course, the Browns. I'll watch the NFL playoffs .... and some regular season games other than the Browns. I enjoy Baseball and Basketball once in a while.

I enjoy College Football. I like March Madness, but rarely watch the regular season games.

I don't watch the NFL. I don't necessarily hate it ..... I just don't enjoy it. It's fast paced, but there is just something about it that I don't enjoy.

Soccer could disappear from the face of the Earth forever and I wouldn't miss it for one second.

I can't believe the pro bowl beat out the average 2012 World Series game, that's just mind-blowing.

Like, I understand some people flip over while they are channel surfing on Sunday, but who in their right mind, is in the office on Friday saying "well man, I gotta make sure I get this and that done on Saturday so I can watch the PRO BOWL on Sunday!"

I would imagine some baseball fans did that with the World Series, no? I mean even the people outside of the two cities that played last year, just regular baseball fans.
