Welcome to the Third Degree: Tough, Brief, Weekly Interrogations that force thinking and response. This Sunday we target: Pro Bowl
Filling the void between divisional play offs and the Super Bowl next week, does the new Pro Bowl format have an interregnum feel to it?
If interregnum is an imaginative and squirmy kind of word, should analysis of Pro Bowl plans along with current news events also cause wincing?
In the both cases, is wincing the norm?
Reviewing the Pro Bowl program designed for amusement, are we amused as the best AFL and NFL players go cavorting around?
What does the Nevada, Pro Bowl schedule reveal? Is the dodge ball event reflective of the daily White House press briefings? Perhaps on a higher plane?
Does the pitch and catch water balloon contest involve risk that the brutes , soon to be soaked, and the already soaked political and military class come down with fatal grip and real loss?
Speaking of balloons and planes, with Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, the home of Air Force Fighter Pilots, do we remember Lt. Frank Luke, WW1 Medal of Honor recipient buried at The Meuse-Argonne in France? Why does his nickname matter?
Do Arizona cowboys act sooner rather than later?
Will the planned, furious, flag football be fulfilling?
While use of intersectional flags from aggrieved WOKE groups was avoided, what do we expect when the national anthem is played?
Will players stand attention with hands over hearts affirming respect, even love, of country?
As a part of their multi-million-dollar paychecks, should athletes remember role model responsibilities as a condition of employment ?
Was it more than disappointing when full contact Tiddlywinks was eliminated because of hang nail concerns? Toughness personified?
With “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” determined “too political”, were other threat to democracy games hard to find?
Why was a cornament deemed too difficult to stage for public consumption and cornhole competitions relegated to private, player affairs? Holy Moly Triple Cornholy, check it all out on-line puritans?
Was Blind Man’s Buff (combat rules) or Bluff (vanilla version) too daunting from a player proprioception standpoint?
Did libertarian fans successfully lobby for elimination of “Mother May I’? Too bad only at the Pro Bowl?
So, today, Pro Bowl day, while we suffer and endure interregnum, can we look forward to next week’s Super Bowl? Bring on the crypto currency ads?
