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.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
