Time To Stuff The Ballot Boxes

Fans can vote for the Pro Bowl, but I don't think it's a good idea to have them involved. The NFL wants it that way because they favor anything that makes the game more popular.

There is no fair way to select the Pro Bowl. In the past, it was done by the players and coaches. They often voted for people they were familiar with or had faced in a game.

Fans can now stuff the ballot box if they want to. Players end up getting selected because of their popularity. The game is still important to many because some get bonuses for being selected.

By the time the game is played, many will miss it because of the Super Bowl or injury. The AFC and NFC teams end up going way down on the depth charts to finalize their rosters.
