The NFL Pro Bowl has become a source of a lot of mocking, and rightfully so.
There’s no more game (thank goodness!) and instead a bunch of events and games that usually leave players shaking their heads. That said, some players do get snubbed in the process, but then there are all these replacements for injuries or guys who bow out.
Russell Wilson and Drake Maye are now Pro Bowlers because Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are out, which is just wild, and I think that’s what prompted the legend J.J. Watt to tweet this: “When you get 5 alternates deep, just call it the Participation Bowl.”
YES!
When you get 5 alternates deep, just call it the Participation Bowl.
