Message: <blockquote data-quote="PackerfaninCarolina" data-source="post: 651103" data-attributes="member: 9364">I was talking about TV ratings in general, not specifically the Pro Bowl, but for TV shows in general, and yes ratings, like all other numbers (like the stock market's) can be manipulated.  But I feel that's a moot point because like I said, ESPN or the NFL Network will keep the game on the air because they don't have anything else to show.  I mean late January, a 2-week wait for Superbowl Sunday, I mean it's not like it's going to get no viewers, but that's not going to minimize the lack of interest.  And yes ratings are dropping, as per this article<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/2016/1/29/10868154/nfl-pro-bowl-2016-why-does-it-exist" target="_blank">http://www.sbnation.com/2016/1/29/10868154/nfl-pro-bowl-2016-why-does-it-exist</a> but that's not even the biggest thing.  The bigger issue is players declining invitations.  That to me is the bigger problem, and I'm not going to get into the reasons for it.  But to me the whole purpose is defeated when you have to scale through declined invitation after declined invitation to go get the 3rd and 4th tier players to play in the game.  Then it's pretty much just a get away beach football party for those who just need their football dose so bad they gotta watch.</blockquote>
