All tag results for 'pro bowl'

Well, we guess Adrian Peterson was right when he said he was "200% innocent" as a grand jury in Houston has dismissed the misdemeanor resisting arrest charge against him.

The Minnesota Viking is no longer in trouble after

NFL players have promised to make the next Pro Bowl more competitive than previous years, so Roger Goodell, the NFL's commissioner, said they could have it in Hawaii again.

An NFL executive vice president said:

Wow!!

It really does seem like the Pro Bowl is in some trouble, because apparently it's on life support and in danger of being axed completely!

Commissioner Roger Goodwell is unhappy with the quality of the game and is straight up threatening to get rid of it!

Nice swing!

Ben Roethlisberger, the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, played a round of barefoot golf with his wife while hanging out in Hawaii on Tuesday.

The Super Bowl winner was staying at the popular vacation spot to play as starting QB in NFL Pro Bowl last Sunday, which the AFC was able to win thanks in part to 2 touchdown passes from Big Ben.

It looks like he's sticking around for a few more days to enjoy a relaxing retreat after a tough season, which was ended by the Denver Broncos in the first week of playoffs.

Fourteen teams in the NFL will be represented by various players this year in the NFL's annual Pro Bowl, but four teams will have a much stronger presence than others.

Eight Patriots, eight 49ers, seven Green Bay Packers and seven Baltimore Ravens have been selected to play in the January 29th game in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Aaron Rodgers will take the reigns as the NFC's starting quarterback and face off against 3-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady, who will be starting QB for the AFC.

Since both players have a significant chance of making the Super Bowl and therefore would not play in the Pro Bowl, they may end up being replaced by either Drew Brees or rookie Cam Newton for the NFC, while Andy Dalton has been announced as AFC's first alternate at quarterback.

Check out both teams' starting lineups below!

It turns out, size DOES matter for football players and being TOO BIG isn't too good.

Pro Bowl offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie has been released by the Minnesota Vikings after returning to training camp 65 pounds above last season's official playing weight.

At nearly 400 pounds, the team decided his excessive weight was the "final straw" after several embarrassing off-field issues throughout the years including a Miami brawl in 2008 . He was placed on the non-football injury list on Monday, then let go on Tuesday.

It sounds like this Viking didn't think this season was actually going to happen because of the lockout and pillaged his refrigerator a few too many times. However, he's keeping his head up and has told sources he'll be ready to play next year on a different team.
