At the end of the day, regardless of your level of passion for football, it's pretty safe to say that those of us who invest in the sport do so because of how fun the NFL is as an entertainment product. And after a very enjoyable Week 1, we can only hope the same will be true for this next slate of games. The NFL cares about how much we enjoy football - primarily in the pursuit of profit, of course, but it's a win-win if you're willing to pay the price of fandom - and that goes into many of the organization's operational decisions, including the Pro Bowl. This line of thought was definitely at play when the league decided to entirely revamp the event, and now there will be a far greater emphasis placed on skills challenges rather than actual football; we here at Hitch Route certainly welcome this change and imagine that many other fans do as well. We enjoyed it so much that we may or may not have gone on a ridiculous tangent in this episode about a meme skills contest between Virginia McCaskey and the late Queen. All in the name of fun, just like the NFL. Nevertheless, tune in to hear Rob and Alex's extensive thoughts on what Week 2 will look like as well as a few wacky tangents!
