Roger Goodell salutes players for Pro Bowl improvements
By Mike Dyce
The NFL’s Pro Bowl has been criticized for its lack of effort on the player’s part. It has been a relatively uninteresting spectacle and the league has been trying to find ways to bring about some excitement and inject some life in the game. This year they abandoned conference alignments and went with a “fantasy draft” approach. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell felt like the performance on the players was improved and he was quick to praise them.
From Pro Football Talk:
"“You have to admit it was very competitive,” Goodell told ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike in the Morning. “Exciting. Fun. I think the players played much harder.”Goodell liked the changes, as suggested by NFLPA president Domonique Foxworth.“I believe it was a very, very positive step,” Goodell said. “I salute the players.”"
