We are down to the final two weeks of the 2009 National Football League season and for the first time ever the Pro Bowl will precede the Super Bowl.

It promises to be a very exciting two weeks, and before all the pundits begin with their annual diatribes knocking the Pro Bowl, I wanted to get in a couple of comments about the league all-star game.

We all know that the nature of football as a collision sport negates some of the style and strategy used in a regular game, but when was the last time you watched the Pro Bowl and saw somebody frown?
