MARK MY WORDS. This weekend's NFL Pro Bowl is going to be a debacle. It's going to be the worst Pro Bowl ever. How can they expect these teams to come together on the field, after only one week's practice?
The Pro Bowl is supposed to be a showcase for the top talent in the league, displaying their precision and athleticism to the delight of all those soon-to-be-suffering NFL fans. This is the last taste of the year. The Pro Bowl is our one shot of methadone before withdrawl sets in. This is all we're going to get.
So what do they do for us? What do they do to give us a nice game, a nice going-away present, to thank us for all our devotion and support? Do they give it a decent 2-week gap in between the Superbowl and the Pro Bowl? Let the players have some breathing time to hang in the tropical Hawaiian breeze and feel each other out, mesh with each other as teammates under the steely-eyed guidance of their conference's Coach of the Year?
No! They don't do that! Although it seems to me that they always used to. But no! It's the Superbowl one weekend and the Pro Bowl the next. What kind of quality product do they expect those coaches to be able to assemble on such short notice? What kind of precision display of flash and firepower are we going to get? Even the two best coaches in the league can't turn a gaggle of preening hotshots into a real team in one week's time!
It's fucking disgusting. I predict a bumbling mess of an embarrassment of a game. I expect to see more turnovers this Saturday than there were in last Sunday's game, even!
I can't stand it. They can't even take the time to give us hard-working fans a decent send-off for the season. Who is responsible. Who is responsible.
Go NFC.
