Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
This year's Pro Bowl is different. The stars are realigned. No more AFC vs. NFC. It's all about giving fans match-ups they've never seen before. Watch the all-stars get drafted. Unexpected teams. Memorable match-ups. The game like you've never seen it before. This is the Pro Bowl: Unconferenced.
Watch the 2014 Pro Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014 from Aloha Stadium live on NBC.

Story on the draft: Inside Slant: The Pro Bowl 'draft'
There was some rich irony in the dud that was the NFL's first-ever Pro Bowl draft.
Players in this league are so well-trained in guarded speech that none of them could muster the kind of WWE-style trash-talking necessary to make this a watchable three-hour event. And because this draft was the centerpiece in the league's efforts to enliven the Pro Bowl spectacle, I fear it will be back to the drawing board this off-season.

This is kind of humorous, video of players on "pins and needles" waiting for their name to be called in the draft:

What if the NFL had a Pro Bowl that nobody cared about? Well I think they have another one again this year; but the format makes it even worse.
