On Sunday, we will see some of the best players, that are not on the Super Bowl teams or injured, playing against one another in a relaxed and meaningless football game. This means you will not see Peyton Manning, Drew Brees nor Tom Brady playing in this game because both of them fall in one of the two categories. Instead you will see the next best thing in... David Garrard?
This and many other factors make this game not really worth watching. Also, the players on the winning conference team do not get anything more than a few dollars.
The only reason I really even consider watching the event is to see the first time pro-bowlers and the players from my favorite team on the field. This year it is Ray Rice. He definitely deserves to be there and I am looking forward to seeing him take a couple of snaps from a second tier quarterback like Vince Young. While I am on the topic of QB's. It is rumored that Flacco was invited but rejected the offer because of his injury. If this is true this will explain why a quarterback who had less yards, less touchdown passes, a lower completion rating and a lower QB rating than Flacco like David Garrard would get an invitation.
Feel free to watch the game. Enjoy the camaraderie between great players that are opponents on every other day of the year expect this one. That is probably the best part about it.
