Irrelevant Football Game was Played Today

The Pro Bowl was played today amidst much scrutiny. The time of the game and the location were changed this year, to before the Super Bowl and in Miami as opposed to Hawaii. 40% of the players originally selected to the Pro Bowl did not participate. However, the game was still played and it was a shootout, with the AFC getting the victory 41-34. Matt Schaub, filling in for the injured Tom Brady, threw two TDs in the first 5 minutes and won the MVP award. DeSean Jackson had 101 yards and two TDs, and Vincent Jackson (no relation) in the AFC had 122 yards and a TD. From a business standpoint, the move to Miami was a success, with attendance over 70,000 people, the biggest Pro Bowl crowd since 1959. The game will return to Hawaii the next two years.
