Rodgers says "some guys on NFC side embarrassed themselves"

I know it's only the Pro-Bowl but I have to agree. There seemed to be a lack of passion and effort especially later in the game.

One of the culprits was on his team. Raji could have been held in check if being blocked by a teenage girl with the effort he was giving.

Seriously? Sadly, gotta disagree with Rodgers on this one. It's the fucking Pro Bowl, nobody ever tries. And it's pretty much understood that the D-line doesn't really rush the QB.

Maybe its time to get rid of the game, then.

I'd honestly have no problem with it. It has some entertainment value as it's still watching football (and the only football that weekend), there's some funny stuff (liked Allen's barrel roll at the line before the snap), and some good plays (Marshall's tipped TD catch was great), but it's clearly not a football game. And I really don't know how to fix it, as what are they going to do to make players care? No amount of money prize is going to make a player risk injury when he could get cut by his team, can't do something like home field advantage for the Super Bowl like MLB.

Would be interesting if they wanted to try one suggestion that I've heard, is literally make it a flag football game.

The first run play I saw was pitiful. People were actually walking during the play.
