Another year of NFL football down, and now we approach another enthralling Pro Bowl game! The game that no one cares about, including avid football fans. Each year the game becomes more and more pointless. More and more players continue to turn it down, while the NFL tries to spin the event into comparable money making All-star venues of other professional sports. But the Pro Bowl lacks many key features that make it even marginally interesting. Basketball has the Dunk Contest, Baseball has Homerun derby, hell even PBA has Trick Shots! But the NFL’s attempt at a fun contest, skills challenge, fails to even peak the interest of the fans in the stadium let alone at home viewers. Is there anything they can do to make it more interesting? Nope. Football isn’t flashy and the plays that fans love are bone jarring tackles (like the one Warner suffered in the playoffs versus N.O.) and large break away plays. Neither of those are something you will see in a meaningless exhibition game and we can’t blame the players! The Pro Bowl is nothing more then a glorified preseason game. They can move the game before the Super Bowl, after the Super Bowl, to Florida or even to Argentina, yet the result is the same!

So, being the kind of guy I am, I offer you 5 ideas of other things that will be more entertaining and can be watched this coming Sunday instead of trying to choke down another NFL Pro Bowl!

5.) Download the 8th Annual MTV Rock ‘n Jock Softball Challenge, featuring everyone’s favorite LA Dodger (well at the time, 1997 mind you) Mike Piazza!

4.) FX: Super Bad. This movie is an all-time great, but it’s nearly worthless with regular TV censorship. But hey, at least you won’t be watching the AFC and NFC play 2 hand touch!

3.) ESPN Deportes: Dutch Football. Not sure what this going to be, it’s a safe guess that it’s better then the Pro Bowl! Just be sure to put the TV on Mute, unless you speak Spanish!

2.) Nickelodeon: Sponge Bob. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

1.) MTV: Teen Mom. This show is a train wreck, but it’s so much fun to watch!
