With all the Super Bowl talk still floating around, we have yet to discuss the Pro Bowl. Arizona Cardinal football isn't over yet, err...the season is, but if you want to see the Cardinals keep playing, you can catch them this Sunday in the NFL Pro Bowl. Our very own will be representing the red and white in the last action of the 2008 season. The Pro Bowl tends to not get much attention from the fans but if you think about it, we won't see any NFL for the next 7 months after this. Not interested yet? Check out this:

Star-divide

  • Last chance to see Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Adrian Wilson, Kurt Warner, and Sean Morey in action.
  • A chance for redemption for Kurt Warner, Fitz, and Q, to go up against James Harrison, James Farrior and Troy Polamalu.
  • Kurt Warner or Larry Fitzgerald will have a chance to add Pro Bowl MVP to their resume.
  • A-Dubb will play in just the second Pro Bowl of his career, and gets another national chance to shine.
  • The Cardinals will have five players in the Pro Bowl, which is the most since they have been in Arizona.

Here's some other key headlines of the Pro Bowl:

The Pro Bowl isn't the most popular of all the games, but what are some things to look forward to? And for even more discussion, what are other ways the NFL can make the Pro Bowl better, or more entertaining?

I feel like...

The decision for next year’s Pro Bowl to be held a week before Super Bowl makes no sense. Why would anybody show real interest on it when the Super Bowl is approaching? Also, some of the players (those that will participate in both events) would be too anxious to give their best in PB. They might even be afraid of a possible injury!

Gotta agree with you there. Not sure what exactly they are thinking. Im almost positive that the teams that are in the Super Bowl wont play in the Pro Bowl.

Hey, hey, hey hey hey, watch the language, ok? I have a family.

Exactly.

That time is/should be used for preparing for the SB.

Besides, who wants to risk a freak injury before the SB?

I think Goodell has lost his mind…even more. (see: fining players for criticizing refs, fining players for, um PLAYING….stuff like that)
