Peyton Manning went all in at the NFL ProBowl, but the redesigned weekend and its slew of new events were uneven at best, writes LorenzoGReyes.
That also brings us to NFC coach Eli Manning, Peyton's younger brother, who also got to savor the victory over his older sibling.Give the NFL credit for trying new things. The old format of the Pro Bowl, an actual game in which defense became optional as players wanted to avoid hits and injuries, was broken. This, however, was not necessarily better. The several events made for a disjointed viewing experience and made the scoring system a bit busy.
The players themselves seemed to enjoy the experience and have fun — that came across on the broadcasts — but that alone didn’t translate to a compelling product. It’s incredibly difficult to elevate the stakes in events like these. While the NFL offers monetary compensation for participation and for the winning team, the league should consider drastically bumping the payday so that some of the league's bigger names don’t skip the event.
