Technically, There’s Football Today

Well, actually not even technically. It’s the Pro Bowl, the least entertaining and most worthless of all the All-Star games. In the NBA and NHL events, defense becomes more of a theory and less of a practice, so it’s more of a high-flying spectacle. The Pro Bowl features simple, water-downed offenses. For MLB, it decides home-field for the World Series, so it’s really important and players care who wins*. But the Pro Bowl, it’s really only an opportunity for the players to try and not get hurt and for the coaches to wear uglier clothes than they do during the regular season. It really is the manifestation of sports in February: still happening, but no one is really paying attention, even the players.

*Is not actually true.
