The NFL is replacing the Pro Bowl with weeklong skills competitions and a flag football game, the league announced Monday.
The new event will replace the full-contact showcase started in 1951. It will be renamed "The Pro Bowl Games" and will feature AFC and NFC players showcasing their football and non-football skills in challenges over several days. The 2023 Games will be held in Las Vegas, and the flag football game at Allegiant Stadium is Feb. 5.

I mean, I was never all that excited about the Pro Bowl, but could they have picked anything more unintentionally symbolic of the current state of things? I'd be more interested in watching Peyton Manning drill kids with footballs like in that SNL skit.
