Quotable:
“No disrespect intended, Frank, but the Pro Bowl is the opposite of a world class event, and the problem was never that it was 6,000 miles away. Long distances don’t explain away the abysmal TV ratings, do they? Never have I had the remote control in my hand and thought, “You know, I’d watch the Pro Bowl, but it’s just so far away.”
Have we considered that no one watches the Pro Bowl because — and I know this is crazy — the Pro Bowl is unwatchable? Maybe Miamians are less burnt out on the Pro Bowl than Hawaiians and more likely to attend because it’s a first-time novelty, but it’s not like there are hordes of us over here on the east coast saying, “Dammit, bring the Pro Bowl closer! It’s not fair!”
You could hold the thing in my front yard, and I’m not sure I’d open the blinds and take a look. Find a way to make it competitive or entertaining, and then we’ll see. Until then, please do consider stealing my idea for the flag football tournament. Honestly. Free of charge.” – MJD
