Saturday was Peyton Manning's Center for years and years in Indy. It shows Pro Bowl is truly meaningless, which we all knew already.

I thought the losers of the Conference Championship games coached the Pro Bowl?

I believe that was the case. But that was changed a few years back.

Here's an article from when it changed in 2010, when Pro Bowl started to be played one week before the Super Bowl rather than a week after.

Jerome Felton scores a short TD run after not carrying the ball this entire season. Adrian Peterson didn't do squat. I think Blair Walsh might get the MVP. He's had something like 11 extra points and a couple of FGs.

Felton made a "tackle" on a kickoff where the returner was 5 yards from the sideline and was afraid to take the guy to the ground. All 11 guys on the coverage team eventually ushered the ball carrier out of bounds while trying not to bruise him.

Pass rushers aren't even taking lines toward the QB. Kalil got smoked by Elvis Dumervil and Dumervil pulled up instead of hitting the QB.

I don't know - the Saints place holder chasing down the AFC guy all the way to the end zone and slamming him down after the off sides fg block was pretty awesome.

Why are people even watching the Pro Bowl if they think it's a pathetic joke? It's meant to be fun and this year, I think it's actually been fun. I'm enjoying it anyway...

Complaining about the Pro Bowl is the new black.

you can definitely tell which players are putting forth effort - like Russell Wilson from the Seahawks is tearing it up.

Adrian Peterson is on for the punt coverage team. Just what Viking fans dream of seeing. In a nightmare.
