The Pro Bowl players that don't live in Miami have no business driving a car and getting DUIs during Pro Bowl/Super Bowl week in the first place. Pitch in with several other players and rent a Hummer limo for the week. There are tons of them in South Florida. I know Portis lives in Miami in the offseason, therefore he has a car and has to worry about a DUI.

Anyone else notice that that the two quoted players at odds with the game change are former UM players?

If there are any players that made the pro bowl that are also in the Super Bowl, they will not be playing in the pro bowl because they would rather be in the Super Bowl. The reason the NFL did this is because it will attract more viewers if it is before the Super Bowl rather then after when fans are still into football.

No Orioled, he didn't. He just wouldn't "snitch" on the one(s) who did, and paid for their legal defense.

So that's why the NFL has held its Pro Bowl in Hawaii - to protect the rest of us on the mainland.

In addition to the players having a greater opportunity to get into trouble; for the most part the super bowl teams usually have their top players playing in the super bowl. Which means less time to prepare for the super bowl since they want to move it to a week before the super bowl. I think this move wasn't thought out to the fullest. The NFL isn't the NBA. They don't play the pro bowl before the Super Bowl. Since 1967 the pro bowl has not been played before the super bowl.
