The actual Pro Bowl itself may be turning into more of a joke with each passing year, but that doesn’t mean being named to the illustrious game isn’t a noteworthy feat.
Pro Bowl selections still help—albeit less now than in the past—define players’ careers. It’s still a monumental honor to be recognized.
Fans still debate endlessly as to why Player A should make it over Player B and act as if Player A was just shipped to the CFL when he doesn’t get selected.
In a way, the actual announcement of the teams has become a far more substantial event than watching the stars casually play touch football in Honolulu.
So, without further ado, let the “This Guy Doesn’t Deserve Anything Good Ever” friendly discussions begin.
