14. It's supposed to be fun.

I don't hate the game. You're supposed to goof off and do things you normally wouldn't do in an all star game. I like all the laterals and trick plays and bombs.
Do you really want to see full on blitzes and dudes getting rocked in a game that is meaningless?
Actually I do but the players want no part of that and I'm sure the coaches don't either. It's an exhibition for the skill players. You have to take it for what it is.

If they are going to do away with the game they should at least replace it with a skills competition or something.
