Ban The Fans

If the NFL can make a dollar off some idea, they will try it. Fans can begin voting today to select players for the Pro Bowl. Their input carries weight, along with the players and coaches.

I think it's a bad idea to allow fans to vote. They tend to go with players from their favorites teams or names they know.

The league now has a poll on their website to solicit fan input for Hall of Fame selections. This idea is even worse. The selection process has its flaws. Thankfully, this is just a poll of the fans and carries no weight in the final decisions.
