[edit] pro bowl mvps

i need help reformating the mvp section

Look Rem the AFL the NFL lists the pro bowls by the year the games is played in not the season. Anyother source is going to refer to Pro Bowl that is played in Feb 2004 as the 2004 Pro Bowl not the 2003 pro bowl. I also know that the NFL included the aFL all star games in their record book but I believe that we already listed on their own page 205.188.116.69 02:57, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm putting tables on the page. Zzyzx11 07:37, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] People are getting people's Pro Bowl Years Wrong

For example, Shawne Merriman was a rookie in 2005. It says his Pro Bowl was in 2005. Now Chad Johnson made the Pro Bowl for the 2005 season, but on his page on Wikipedia, it says he made it in 2006. The point I am making is that there needs to be something so that the Pro Bowl years are universal and that there is no confusion.CubsFan2006 19:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction?

In the "trivia section," it says "The Baltimore Ravens [... and] Cleveland Browns [...] have never had a player win an MVP award. However, the chart clearly shows that Jim Brown and Otto Graham both did for the Browns in the 1950's and 1960's. The question is, which team does that count under-- the team name (Browns) or the actual franchise (Ravens)? JMyrleFuller 02:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Officially, we are going as to what the official team records of the NFL say: the Ravens are regarded as a 1996 expansion team, while the Browns franchise "suspended operations" during the 1996-98 seasons. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
While that is the stupidest ruling in the history of God's green earth, it is the ruling. :( --Unexplainedbacon 13:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special rules

I've been watching the Probrowl for the first time in many years and have noticed the announcers hint at several rule changes compared to the regular NFL-season, that fit in the scheme of softer play mentioned in the article (e.g. no challenges, no blitzing, no intentional grounding etc.) If somebody has an idea of all these different rules, I'd like to see a section in this article - due to an obvious lack of competency, I'm not able to add it myself.Rouven Thimm 13:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] '07 outcome

Someone needs to add it to avoid any more silly nonsense like what I just reverted from being added to the article. (I'm assuming AFC won by the way...)-Jeff (talk) 03:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Home Team

In what years is the NFC the home team? In what years is the AFC the designated home team? I could swear that the NFC was the home team the past two years. 76.21.45.13 18:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] '07 Pro Bowl?

Was this past Pro Bowl the 2007 Pro Bowl or the 2006 Pro Bowl? I've heard it referred to as both. It took place in 2007, but it came at the conclusion of the 2006 season. 76.21.45.13 18:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coaches

How are the Pro Bowl Coaches picked?--TheNation 05:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
