NFL replacing Pro Bowl with week of skills competitions, flag football game
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-nfl-replacing-pro-bowl-with-week-of-skills-competitions-flag-football-game-130108755.html

All for the skills competition. But we will see more lower leg injuries in this flag game.

i've been advocating for a "flag football" game in the pro bowl for "decades".  glad to see they finally decided to do so and it makes "great sense".  it'll minimize the chance of injuries and it'll encourage the "superstars" not to skip playing in the game due to concerns for injuries.

great move by the nfl...
