"It was nothing but a water downed end of week practice for these guys. Yes, it was changed to something like this because they wanted to stop any injuries or anything of that matter. Yet, nobody wants to watch the product I actually watched yesterday, and I only did it because, once again, I wanted to see how even more lame this turns into every single year."
"Last year's Pro Bowl Games was still in the traditional Sunday time slot, averaging just 4.7 million viewers between ABC, ESPN, and Disney XD, a record-low for the event. How do you think this week went with it being on a Tuesday? I don't have the final numbers but will update them once I can. For a record, the 2025 Pro Bowl games averaged on 4.7 million viewers, down 18% and the third straight accrual decline."
"Remember Shedeur Sanders made the Pro Bowl for no reason, and guess what he proceeded to do? Throw two interceptions. Who cares though? Right, it is just for fun and nobody actually even pays any attention to those, but I mean Sanders did throw more interceptions in the regular season than he did touchdowns. The pro bowl has just become a stinker that means nothing anymore."
The Pro Bowl was held in a low-contact, flag-football format on a weekday afternoon to reduce injury risk. Viewership has trended downward, with the event averaging 4.7 million viewers and marking an 18% decline and a third consecutive drop. The contest produced high scores and little defensive effort, ending NFC 66, AFC 52. Individual performances included Shedeur Sanders throwing two interceptions and Joe Burrow executing a trick-play touchdown. The format change and scheduling produced fan dissatisfaction and questions about the event's relevance and ability to attract audiences going forward.
