The NFL should take notes from the NBA

[THE MACHINE]

NFL Brass: " Keep that helmet on and shut your mouth Earl. I'm sure there's a huge house in Seattle for you to dab in"

I agree with you bruh. If they had like the top 4-6 fastest players in a race and QB's with the strongest arm type of deal they could make people care about the Pro Bowl again.

they used to have pro bowl skill challenges though...i remember qb accuracy drills and shyt.

not sure what happened... forgot about that shyt

The NBA is controlled by stars. Not really comparable imo. Very few humans who can compete at that level

Lol this just reminded me of the NBA players choice awards.

NBA players.....

It's easy to pick on the NFL since they're at the top. So of course people will look at NBA as the people's champ since the NFL is the big bad wolf on top of the chain.

But Thomas is right in regards to the NFL taking notes on how the NBA runs All Star Weekend + highlights their players uniqueness rather than shut it down. The Pro Bowl is what it is but the NFL could still make it fun with big time production and skills challenges.

I think we're good, Earl.

That's cause the NFL is very calculated in not presenting their past and especially not celebrating their past players. They don't want to parade around a bunch of guys who can barely talk or walk and remind people that this is going to be the current stars in 20 years

So they really want to dance that badly?

Yep, NFL sweeps it's washed up talent under the rug as quick as possible. If you thought they're gonna have someone at that HOF podium advocating against the long term effects of the game


Edit: u seen how they did Junior Seau's people

The NFL does need guaranteed contracts....I know it shouldn't matter but the NFL will legit use a RB for 350 carries a year and by the time he's 27 cut him....Rinse and repeat.

But the Players Union doesn't seem to care so I guess fuk it.

NFL only give a shyt about the QB position. Don't give a shyt about anyone else. Such a shyt league.

NFL needs to bring back its skills challenges. THey should make it a full pro bowl weekend, and celebrate the players a little more.

Hell even the NHL does it better than the NFL

that ain't true though.

Sure the QB's for the most part get the most shine...and really its only like the top 10 QBs

Some of the highest paid players in the league play on the line

The NBA also embraces social media better than the other leagues. NFL and definitely MLB have gone on a crusade taking down fan videos, accounts, Vines and other league related media. NBA has let cats like DawkIns and DownToBuck cook with their nightly player highlight videos.

Marketing wise the NBA generally does a lot of things better than the other leagues. Unfortunately for them all of their best players are still Black so there's gonna be a limit to success in certain demographics.

Actually the NBA hates Dawkins and always tries to shut him down

I know a few months ago he was in limbo, but he's been doing them nightly since then. They might as well hire dude
