Can the Pro Bowl Be Saved?

As of now, players awkwardly hitting on Hawaiin girls is the highlight of Pro Bowl weekend. Let's change that.

Most people hate the Pro Bowl and say it can't be saved, but I've gotta say, I'm still holding out hope for the NFL's All Star game.

Granted, football is a completely different animal than baseball and basketball, and even hockey. You simply can't play an exhibition game with the same intensity, and thus, the same excitement as a game that counts. It just isn't going to happen.

I think the average football fan understands and accepts this fact, so let's use that to our advantage and totally change the meaning of the Pro Bowl and make it a fun weekend for everybody involved.

The NFL's All-Prison Team

Who will join O.J. on our All-Prison team?
By Joe Parello  @HerewegoJoe

Ok, I know you've all been thinking it, so don't make me the bad guy for actually putting this list together. The moment Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was taken into custody, Facebook and Twitter were ablaze with "Longest Yard 2 starring Hernandez" jokes, and everybody was talking about an All Star team you could make with players that have been to jail.

The first thing that came to my mind was, "Hernandez can't actually be the best tight end to ever go to prison, right?" Well, I did some research, and it turns out he's up there. So, without further ado, here is my All-Prison Team, comprised of NFL players that have served jail time at some point in their lives (Note that I didn't say convicted).
