Pro Bowl solution fix

Just a quick idea.

Have the two conference losers play the weekend before the superbowl. Give the winner an extra money bonus.

Might give the conference loser's fanbase something to be excited about.

Third place isn't all that exciting. At that point there's nothing left to play for. It'd be just as bad as a Pro Bowl game because no one would want to get hurt. If these teams are good enough to get that close, they aren't going to risk their best players to a long term injury that hurts their chances next season.

That would be worse.

The Pro Bowl is fine as is.

i was going to say how impressed i was that someone could talk about something as pointless as the pro bowl with all this other stuff going on

the only positive benefit this could result in is that the conference championship games would be unbelievably competitive as teams fight tooth and nail to avoid playing in the third place game
