It's all about the money!
The NFL figures that by holding the Pro Bowl in the same location as the Super Bowl they can get some fat cats to spend more money for over a week.
For the fans it sucks, because players from the two best teams will not be able to participate (including the two best quarterbacks this year).
For the players selected it sucks, because they won't be getting paid to take a vacation to Hawaii - and what happens when the Super Bowl is played in a non-tourist friendly locale, or where the weather sucks in January?
No real football fans think for a moment that the Pro Bowl is anything more than an exhibition game to honor and showcase the best players.
I say, move it back to Hawaii...
