That's a Pretty Awful Decision

Ouch, atleast it wasn't Refrigerator Perry spiking the ball after his TD

you're right! i couldn't find anything like that my first go-around, but you inspired me to keep modifying my search terms:

Well if either ESPN or the NFL wanted to fly me to Honolulu AND put me up in a hotel on the beach at Waikiki for a few days AND give me a ticket to the game, then I'd watch it!

How is the home team determined? Is this because the AFC won the Pro Bowl???

"The designated 'home team' alternates between the NFC team in odd-numbered games (the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI in February 2007), and the AFC team in even-numbered games (the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII in February 2008). This alternation was initiated with the first Super Bowl, when the Green Bay Packers of the NFL were the designated home team.

Since Super Bowl XIII in January 1979, the home team is given the choice of jerseys, colored or white. Formerly, the designated home team was specified to wear their colored jerseys; this resulted in Dallas donning their less familiar blue jerseys for Super Bowl V.

While most of the home teams in the Super Bowl have chosen to wear their colored jerseys, there have been four exceptions; the Cowboys twice (XIII & XXVII), the Washington Redskins (XVII), and the Pittsburgh Steelers (XL). The Cowboys (since 1965) and Redskins (since the arrival of coach Joe Gibbs in 1981) have traditionally worn white jerseys at home. Meanwhile, the Steelers, who have always worn their black jerseys at home since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, opted for the white jerseys after winning three consecutive playoff games on the road, wearing white. The Steelers' decision was contrasted with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. The Patriots had worn white jerseys at home during the 1985 season, but after winning road playoff games against the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins wearing red jerseys, New England opted to wear red for the Super Bowl as the designated home team."

That's a Pretty Awful Decision

The home team is Predetermine And is Designated by alternating years.

Although, as Puddles pointed out, it doesn't.

I guess the only more meaningless game would be the NHL All-Star game.

Cool, now I've learned my new thing for the day!

I guess then that this officially make the probowl the ultimate meaningless game!

Atleast they hit more in the NHL allstar game than the probowl! Plus, unfortunately each and every year if you watch the probowl you're subjected to the token, very unfortunate site of a 300+ lb lineman in his too small bathing suit trying to surf

Probably the All-star game on the baseball Diamond, is what was being thought of.

Please, just no youtube of the fridge doing the superbowl shuffle (it's almost lunchtime afterall and that belly giggle would be a deadly site )

Would that be the mid-summer All-roid-star game you're referring too??

I never bother watching it. I would occasionally, until Andy Frikkin' Reid coached it for 4 straight years. Seeing Big Red in a Hawaiian was not Pretty, And was Disgusting.
