Re: Mortenson - Playing Pro Bowl is pretty much done
I'd watch it. I wonder if ESPN might not want to upstage the ESPY's. For the record, the ESPY's are god awful and I stopped watching it years ago (other than the JimmyV speech, nothing worthwhile has ever come of it). But still, it's ESPN's baby. NFLN could certainly broadcast it something like you propose.
Never get in a fight with a pig; you both get muddy, and the pig likes it...

Re: Mortenson - Playing Pro Bowl is pretty much done
Not a fan of an award show. Sounds exactly like the ESPY's and I don't think there any shade of lipstick out there that would pretty up that pig.
An expansion of the skill competition is the way to go if you want fans to watch AND fork over money. I like the standard stuff they have now, but I'd also include some sort of final competition that all players can participate in, no matter their position (something like the Warrior Dash, Tough Mudder, etc).
I'd also make the cash prizes significant enough to gin up player interest and have the owners dollar-for-dollar charity match whatever prize is won by their teams players. So lets say Ray Rice wins $75,000, Bisciotti would pony up the same to a charity of Rice's choosing. Gives the whole event a PR boost.

Billick said on mike and mike this morning that the ravens never were able to pick a WR and he thought that was the most difficult position to project. he mentioned mark clayton as a first round pikc at WR. H didn;t mention travis taylor but he should have at #10.

I don't know when they stopped doing it, but I remember guys like Darrell Green in a 4 man foot race against guys like a young DeAngelo Hall and Green was still beating those guys. I also remember Willie Roaf going up against other linemen.
The winners of their positional battles got awards and they all got exposure and recognition, etc.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Doesn't the Pro Bowl still get good ratings. It seems like you can put any kind of American Football activity on TV and people would watch it for some reason.
