Let’s hope 2021 is the first of many years without the NFL Pro Bowl

You can say one thing about the 2021 NFL Pro Bowl, the tackling may have improved.

I kid, of course. The tackling was non-existent because the ongoing Coronarivus pandemic put a halt to this year’s festivities, save for some virtual Madden video game tournament that I simply refused to research.

Did you miss the Pro Bowl, this year? Yeah, me neither. I don’t think I’ve paid attention to the Pro Bowl since the year before the Steelers finally won their one for the thumb. I’m talking about the 2005 Pro Bowl, when Hines Ward, just two weeks removed from his team going down in flames at the hands of the Patriots in the AFC title game at Heinz Field, did the hula dance after scoring a touchdown.
