The aim of the Probowl/Allstar games is all wrong... the league and some fans take it too seriously. It should be laid back and aimed solely at fun. I doubt any player really enjoys the game itself but does enjoy the camaraderie. The system is broken and I am in favor of removing allstar games completely.

Not that I'm defending Moss but he's the only example I have right now. Let's say he goes to the pro bowl and gets injured.....he's up for a contract, Why risk your personal health for a meaningless game that could jeopardize your contract situation?
