The Associated Press reported that the NFL is canning the Pro Bowl. Instead, they’re replacing it with a week-long skills competitions. The league is also planning a flag football game that will be a part of the festivities.
The Pro Bowl began in 1951. After 70 years of the classic Honolulu showdown (and Orlando after that), the game is over. The NFL is now planning to replace it with “The Pro Bowl Games.” In the Games, players from the AFC and NFC will be competing in challenges and highlighting their skills. The challenges will be both football and non-football related. Las Vegas will be the first official host of The Pro Bowl Games in 2023. The festivities will be held at the Allegiant Stadium.
What does Peyton Manning have in store for The Pro Bowl Games?
The NFL has assigned Peyton Manning to be in charge of The Pro Bowl Games. Peyton Manning, who was once against ending the Pro Bowl, will be bringing his Omaha Productions company along for the ride. Peyton Manning and Omaha Productions will design the programming for the Games, as well as promote the content from the event throughout the week. A 14-time Pro Bowler himself, as well as a Hall of Famer, Manning will be a member of the flag football game’s coaching staff.
Given that Manning is a Pro Bowler who has probably received plenty of feedback from his fellow Pro Bowlers, the 2023 iteration is sure to be interesting, fresh, and something that will garner plenty of conversations.
