Delaney: No meaning in Pro Bowl

What is the point of the NFL Pro Bowl?

Two of my colleagues glanced at the game Sunday evening. A glance is overkill. Why bother? The nature of the game makes the risk of injury too high for an end-of-year-exhibition. The players get bonuses for being selected. They don't need to play.

How about a change? Keep the Pro Bowl before the Super Bowl. The winning conference's Super Bowl representative then gets to host the game the following week. Of course it would be a logistical nightmare for the league and host city to put on a game in seven days.

Nothing is going to make this game interesting. Give the players their checks and call it a day.
