On sunday the most pointless game of the NFL season was played. The NFC defeated the AFC team 42 to 30. Adrian Peterson was the games MVP with 129 rushing yards, and Terrell Owens had a nice game with two touchdown receptions. But, really who actually cares? The game is played a week after the superbowl, and means absoulutely nothing. Most of the stars like Tom Brady, Tomlinson, and Rany Moss did not even participate in the game. I personally found the game boring and hard to watch. Unlike the NBA of MLB there are also no skill competitions to get the fans into it. MLB has the exciting Home Run derby, and the NBA has the slam dunk and three point contest. Also in MLB the winner of the all star game has home field advvantage in the World Series, which proves to be crucial. What does the pro bowl have? Its played in Honolulu which has no connection to the NFL all year. The coach of the game is the loser of the conference game, which makes no sense to me whatsoever. Also the rules that are in playfor the game make it a lot less enjoyable to watch. In my opinion the NFL has much work to do in order to promote their all star game and get their best players to participate in.
