Dave Reardon, of the Star-Bulletin, reports the NFL Pro Bowl game will move to Saturday for the 2007 game. Also, the game will be broadcast over-the-air (CBS) instead of cable (ESPN). The move to six days after Super Bowl XLI in South Florida, instead of the usual seven, is linked to the wishes of CBS, sources said. CBS will broadcast both games next year as part of a rotation with FOX and NBC.

Sweet. I never got the chance to see the pro-bowl last year.

Does that mean players in the superbowl don't get to rest? If their selected to the pro bowl.

The Pro-Bowl is rest. They have a whole week of rest in Hawaii. If they wanted to they come late as well.

i dont really care about the probowl as much, but move make the following monday of the superbowl a holiday for every1's sake.

The Pro Bowl seems rather meaningless....it would be better if they held the game during the regular season but we know that won't happen.

Playing that "game" on a short week, plus isn't it like 14 hours and a connection between Miami and Honolulu?
