What's about new Pro Bowl rules


The 2014 Pro Bowl is the upcoming NFL's all-star game for the 2013 season. It will take place at 2:00 pm local time on Sunday, January 26, 2014 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. The game will be televised nationally by NBC and will be the final Pro Bowl on network television before exclusive rights move to ESPN.

If you don't know, Pro Bowl 2014 will be playing with new rules. In the largest change to the Pro Bowl, the teams will no longer be AFC vs. NFC, and instead be selected by captains in a fantasy draft (similar to the current National Hockey League All-Star Game since 2011) on January 22. The teams will be called Team Rice and Team Sanders, after Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders who have been selected as alumni team captains and who will assist in the fantasy draft.
