Like everyone else, I ignored most of the Pro Bowl yesterday. But I feel compelled to acknowledge that it happened just because it's my last chance to write about an actual football game until next fall.
So, the AFC blew a 17-point first half lead and succumbed 42-30. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Terrell Owens, and Adrian Peterson each scored two touchdowns, and Purple Jesus received the Most Outstanding Player award. As always, I strongly recommend his highlight reel over at NFL.com.
A lot of people hate the game because it's so irrelevant, and there's some boo-hooing about Der Kommissar Goodell's talk of moving the game to the Super Bowl bye week, but I'm okay with the Pro Bowl. Even though it's unsettling as hell to watch Ben Roethlisberger complete passes to T.J. Housh and Jeff Garcia throw to T.O. in the end zone, it's still a nice way to ease into the offseason. The stark emptiness after the Super Bowl demands one more football fix, even if it's a completely half-assed game by stars on vacation. Because after this, it's all basketball and hockey. And… *shudder*… baseball.

Wait the pro-bowl was yesterday?
(see what I did there first)
Pro Bowl week is more fun when someone wrecks their knee playing beach football.
Every year, in honor of the Pro Bowl, I masturbate to stills of Kate Bosworth from Blue Crush.
Ah…Blue Crush…the movie by which I was forced to see Faison Love in a speedo. It's sad that there are things one can't unsee.
and here i thought i was the only one who's break-up sex involved several large black men
The pro bowl is like the cuddle after the ropes.
I find it odd that they have an MPV award in this pick-up game of touch football. I don't see how a defensive player could possibly win it with "no defense" rules they put in place.
Dana Jacobson says, "Fuck Purple Jesus."
And Blue Crush was on TV last night. It's so hard to watch it and not imagine Michelle Rodriguez banging on Kate Bosworth's door wasted at 4 a.m. yelling, "Here comes the fist puppet!"
When asked what he thought of Garcia throwing him the TD pass, TO said, "I knew it would happen. The Pro Bowl is GAY AS SHIT, PEOPLE."
The Pro Bowl and the Grammys on the same day ? Wow, glad I
fuckedrearranged my socks instead of watching either one.Blue Crush…. haha, that was on HBO last night late. Stupid quarterback…
So wait, I don't get it… Isn't break up sex supposed to be good? I'm confused.
Reminder: The Australian Football League season begins on March 20. So if you're tired of A-Rod and steroids, go down under, where they partake in much more awesome drugs. And beat the crap out of each other on the field.
I wish the Pro Bowl was like break-up sex. At least it would be fulfilling. The Pro Bowl is more like the first chick that you sleep with after a long break-up. She isn't necessarily the greatest thing but it provides some action in the meantime.
Moving it to Super Bowl bye week? What a dumb fucking idea. As if big name players don't already have enough reasons to skip it. Also, Goodell really expects that the players that are playing in the Super Bowl are going to take days out of their preparation for the biggest game in their career to play – and risk injury - in a meaningless game?
The Pro Bowl is more like finishing yourself off after not quite blowing your load before your girl gets off.
/never actually happened
Cringing about baseball??? You should be ecstatic as an M's fan with Bedard coming to town. Now if Richie Sexson could be murdered, the Seattle Mariners would win the World Series.
Bedard is a short-term gain for a long-term loss (Adam Jones). Ecstatic I am not.
