America: The Only Way We Can Make The Pro Bowl Go Away Is If We Stop Watching It

by Dan Fogarty | 12:56 pm, January 30th, 2012

Folks, the Pro Bowl is a lot like a bear rummaging around outside our tent. If we all don’t move, and pretend it’s not there, it might go away. Unfortunately, not enough of us did that last night: 10.74 million people watched the NFL’s All-Stars not tackle, and NBC’s telecast won the coveted 18-49 demo. The Pro Bowl’s 7.9 overnight was better than the 6.2 posted by the 2011 NBA All-Star Game. What these just-good-enough ratings mean: the Pro Bowl will remain exactly the way it is now, which is to say it will remain boring. [HitFix]

LOL at Fogarty and his cronies and their pseudo-journalism. Basically re-post other people’s stuff and put up highlights with grossly hyperbolic headlines. Also, don’t research anything (see the Jared Allen Pro Bowl video).

18 to 49? Trained to worship heroes. But the NIT? Only mothers’ll watch.

Go GET ‘em, SG!

Jason King Wiggins had 7 points (two dunks and a 3) on 3-of-7 shooting. The scrimmage's biggest standouts were Perry Ellis, Tarik Black & Wayne Selden.

Nate Jones Well duh to the Clippers and Celtics resuming talks. Like I said yesterday, only one coach comes with KG. And notice who initiated the talks
