Pro Bowl Open Thread
Considering the pointlessness that the Pro Bowl can often be, I'm wondering whether this should just be considered a novelty open thread.
Anyways, feel free to discuss the truly amazing excitement that is the NFL Pro Bowl. Maybe Patrick Willis will light somebody up.

Re. Pro Bowl
For those of you that didn't watch, did you all realize the rule changes? No press coverage outside of the 5 yard line, no blitzing, teams had to run a base 4-3 defense, teams had to have a tight end on the field the whole time and no sets that had 3 receivers on one side was allowed. There may have been a couple of other changes, but I was still a little slushed from the night before and that's all I can remember.
The commentators even made it a point to say that the game was designed to make it a one on one battle at every position to showcase individual talent.
For those that missed it. Here are a couple of highlights/lowlights from our Pro Bowlers. Not sure how many tackles Willis had. I just know that he didn't start, which is understandable because he is only a rook. Willis didn't do anything too outstanding but I have to tell you that he did blow a tackle. Joseph Addai ran to the right and Willis put himself in bad position. Addai avoided the wrath of Willis by making a cutback to the left. Willis didn't even get a hand on him. But I should add that Willis didn't quit on the play he still made an effort even after he whiffed on the first attempt.
Also our boy Andy Lee came through in a big way. As you may or may not have heard Lee completed a pass on a fake punt giving the NFC a first down. I totally didn't see that coming and apparently neither did the AFC squad.
