I didn't even realize the Pro Bowl was today. Was it a good game?

I watched some of the game, I don't know why. This game is ridiculous and a complete
waste of time. Why change the rules, no blitzing, corner backs can't press receivers, can't
rush the punter or field goal kicker, it's an absolute joke.

I guess they didn't want people to get hurt :P

Although some of the trick plays were pretty cool, like Hester's lateral to Witten.

That does sound pretty ridiculous to me.

Kinda off topic but still about football: I've been thinking about what would happen if a 4 point FG rule were enstated. Say, any kick from 40+ or 45+ yards is worth one more point. It's not possible to keep up now kicking 2 FGs for every touchdown the other team makes. I think a 4 point FG wouldn't unbalance the game, give more options (some good, some bad) and would bring a lot of new strategies to the game.

I think FGs should still be worth 3 points, but I think they should be disallowed in the fourth quarter and overtimes.  Really cheap way to win, especially with sudden death rules :P
