AP sources: Suspending Pro Bowl an option - Yahoo! Sports
Have NFL fans seen the last of the Pro Bowl?
The game could be suspended next year, two people familiar with discussions said Thursday.
Commissioner Roger Goodell, among others, expressed concerns about the quality of play after January's game, and the league has been holding talks with the players' union about the future of the all-star game. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were not being publicized.
Responding to an ESPN report that Goodell is ''strongly considering'' suspending the game in 2013, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said: ''No determination has been made yet.''
