If you're that invested in the game that you need the next day off -- chances are your manager will approve your vacation day or help with other arrangements.  I know my crowd is supportive of individual's fandom -- was given some extra leeway during the 2016 game myself.  

But not everybody requires recovery time for a game that basically ends at 10p. That's no different from those late-night west coast baseball games that drag on past midnight on the east coast, or any number of March Madness basketball games on the opening Thursday

Making a national holiday for a sporting event? Not likely

Those guys would get completely drunk every SB so recovery time was necessary.  Bosses knew hung-over employees wouldn't be too good for the workplace.

Go ahead and move all games to Saturday, it would be so much more fun than on Sundays.

The halftime shows in the SB are abominations, butcher a bunch of music and watch them dance to it's murder for what has become a quarter of commercial BS. So much cringe every year. 

I'm taking a trip this weekend and just skipping the entire thing. The NFL gets a little closer to being wrastling to me every year. Rigged, boring and owned by a pack of POSs. Can we just go back to when no one else cared about the game and it was just about good football?

The half time show is a joke.  Apparently the NFL isn’t even paying the dancers this year because the exposure should be enough.  Like they’re expecting random dancer #102 to steal the show.  That’s why I prefer the conference championships.  It’s actual fans at the games and it’s not as corporate

The people to the right of me at the SB in 2016 were only there for the halftime show. They had no idea about the game. They left after the halftime show...I kid you not. I also got booed for standing up to cheer during the game lol.

IDGAF, the game has become an abomination. It would be cool if they did all that stuff around the game and stopped injecting it into the game.

For the last 50 years the NFL has been on a steady move toward flag football or 7on7 drills.  It's all for high scoring and entertainment for casual fans.  

This year's Pro Bowl is how the normal game is going to look in another 30 years.   Ugh.

I'm  fine with the safety motivated improvements in the rules...mostly. I get tailoring the game to keep it relevant but the D has been nutrued too much IMO. 

The SB was a fun experience for fans back in the day, or at least they sounded great. Now it's close to ruin. If the commercials or the halftime show is the only reason you watch the SB then losing that viewership would be a positive in my eyes for the value and quality of the game. Biggest game of the year and all of the 'what is happening, why are they doing that and what are the rules' people showing up to not allow fans to watch the game lol.

I *want* the Pro Bowl to be a weekend of skill drill/showing off stuff and a flag football game for fun.  No need for those guys to get a vacation where they have to hit each other for no real benefit.  Make it fun, mic the guys up. Give awards/bonuses for winning individual challenges.

Agreed.

I want flags, no pads at the pro bowl. I also want a pro bowl themed nerf vortex that they can launch 100 yards. 

And use it to test new rules, like having a 4th and 25 from your own 25 instead of onside kicks.

It shouldn't be real football. It should be the best players in the world $hit talking and playing  backyard football.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
