Did you know the Pro Bowl was played Sunday?

For all the undying love and adulation that the NFL receives, it's always been befuddling as to why nobody watches their All-Star game. The NFL Pro-Bowl, while a nice trip to Hawaii and great honor for those players not in the Super Bowl, is a complete and absolute dud for TV viewers.

In case you were wondering, they played the game on Sunday and the NFC won 55-41 after getting an early 42-0 lead. Your MVP, the insufferable DeAngelo Hall of the Redskins.

We don't know, save one of our friends, who actually watched the game, broadcast by FOX as part of their turn broadcasting the Super Bowl.

In case you missed them...and we're guessing most of you did, here are your highlights:



We question as to whether the NFL should consider scrapping this game. Sure, its a great trip and honor for the participants like we said earlier, but how do you sell it to a mass market? It comes the week before the Super Bowl. And in the case of this year, the Super Bowl may be the last NFL game we see in awhile.

What do you think? Did you watch? Did you care? Why aren't you interested? We want to know...

((HT: NBC Universal/"Late Night With Jimmy Fallon"/Youtube))

The HQ remembers the "Super Bowl Shuffle" with the funky QB known as McMahon...

Jimmy Fallon goes one better... and his Tom Brady is dead-on...

Comedy genius...

Bryant McKinnie Kicked out of Pro Bowl...How does that happen?


If you want even further proof that nobody really cares about the NFL Pro Bowl, we give you the newest case. One Bryant McKinnie of the Minnesota Vikings, who unlike most of his NFL brethren, didn't beg out of the game due to injury. No, he was kicked off of the team for not showing up to practice.

Check out the story from the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel RIGHT HERE
There is more, though we question it from the StarTribune.com RIGHT HERE

According to McKinnie's Twitter Account, he was at some point at...more than one strip club in Miami the night before his dismissal. According to the StarTrib's story, McKinnie later claimed on Twitter that he left due to injury. We kind of agree with version one.

Julius Peppers had also missed a practice on Friday like McKinnie, though there was not a known Twitter about his whereabouts. Peppers showed up and practiced on Saturday, McKinnie, couldn't bring himself to attend.

Here is another opportunity to bust out the most famous non-practicer in Sports...Thanks You Tube:
