So this weekend will debut the most exciting game of the NFL season. I'm happy to see five Chicagoans playing in it.
As for the Pro Bowl itself, I like the idea of it, as NFL stars are allowed to be selected from the However, it is a complete joke of an event, as there is only offense with next to no defense (my favorite part of the game).
As for bad calls in football games, I say get over it. I hate the NFL referees, as Sharon Rodgers can't be sacked unless it somehow results in a Packers gain. It also doesn't help that certain calls seem scripted towards one team in a matchup. Perhaps that happened with the Steelers, I can't remember that Super Bowl well unfortunately. And while it is easy to blame the refs for a game, the team still technically has a chance to win- if they completely outplay their opponent, no amount of horrible calls can sway that game. Best example that I can remember was the Giants-Packers playoff game a few years back.
