Injury wise heading into the Superbowl this makes no sense as both superbowl rosters will have some pro bowl players. Also MIAMI? WTF. The Pro Bowl isn't a real game anyway. It's the NFL sending you to vacation in Hawaii for a week and because you get on the field and play a game they get to write the whole thing off. Keep it a week after the Super Bowl and keep it in Hawaii.

This is for the fans most of all. That's the only reason they are bringing it over here. Because nobody cares about it being in Hawaii. In fact, we lose interest FAST after the superbowl. As much as we like the game in America, our interest fades quickly after the superbowl.

Not really. The Pro Bowl + Pro Bowl events has always been the "last hurrah" for the NFL before the off-season. I love watching the Pro Bowl because it's my last chance to watch some NFL Football. I highly doubt taking it out of Hawaii will make it any better and having it the week before the Super Bowl will have any player who plays in the SB not play in the Pro Bowl. I think this will be a one year test for the NFL and they will realize it was a dumb decision.

Come on let's get real I have had the chance to live in both cites and let's be honest it like comparing a salsbury steak to a ribeye houston comes out on top any day dallas is bland yeah there are a few things dallas are good for but we are talkin overall houston is better hands down its the king of texas I mean the city was the capitol of texas the original capitol the only reason it was moved because the city already had too much going on so they had to split the powers houston is one the origianl cities in texas and dallas wasn't even thought of until ten years later so houston is texas all dallas is doing is trying to keep up with the jones and that's not gonna last too long because the city is visited by 31 million people a year the most in texas compared to dallas 22.3 million a year. And houston is full of culture while dallas lacks it houston is home of one the largest asian communities in the nation and even has a little china town and dallas I don't think even had an african american mayor yet and another number that's incredible houston is expectes to grow atleast a million every ten years while dallas isn't even close. The downtown scene is nice and getting better and becomin a combination of 6th street/ new orleans and plus the city is still building so dallas think there barely keeping up with houston now check back in a few years people are gonna forget about dallas. Our beach is closer to us than fort worth is to dallas and you should know what type of city dallas is if bush picks it out no suprise because half the people there have the same attitude he does and that not saying a lot

whoa there raymondm, take a breath already... your post is very hard to read.

Anyway, that ribeye steak don't taste so good when your sweating all over it because of the hot and humid climate. Not to mention the mosquitoes and pollution. And here's your African-American mayor:

Yes, Dallas has had an African-American mayor, when I lived there, in fact. The city elected Ron Kirk mayor in 1993. He was recently chosen to serve in Obama's cabinet. Houston elected Lee Brown, its first black mayor, in 1997. He served the maximum of three terms before electing current mayor Bill White.

C'mon now. Hardly anyone watches the Pro Bowl and hardly anyone cares for the events. That's why it has some of the worse ratings as far as all star games. Mostly because fans do not care that the game is in Hawaii. If it on the mainland in NFL cities, I think people would pay attention to it though slightly. After teh superbowl, we lose interest in football quickly.

well as long as you're aware of your grammar, i feel better. It would be scary if that was really how you typed.

But i agree with everything you said in your post but since Dallas is a little more ritzy than Houston, i wouldn't exactly call it salisbury steak!
