Brandon Marshall goes for 176 yards and 4 touchdowns in Pro Bowl

When winning an award Steve Martin once famously stepped to the podium...paused and said something along the lines of: "Thank you.  I am trying to find a way to...CARE."  That has to be the feeling Brandon Marshall has following his amazing performance in a game that means zero.  In a game that fans watch only because the Super Bowl is a week later the Miami Dolphins receiver set the world on fire!

6 catches, 174 yards and 4 touchdowns en route to a Pro Bowl MVP and a 59-41 AFC win over the NFC Sunday in Hawaii.  Again...why should we care?

I am convinced that the smartest thing the NFL could do is move the Pro Bowl back to the mainland and play it the weekend following the Super Bowl.  The week after the Super Bowl has always left a feeling of empty.  A time when we all wish we were still watching football, so why not hold the Pro Bowl when the season is over?   

Holding the game after the Super Bowl allows players from the leagues 2 best teams to participate while also giving more of a vacation type feel for the players.  The AFC beat the NFC Sunday in the Pro Bowl.  I repeat the AFC beat the NFC Sunday in the Pro Bowl.

Still trying to find a reason to care?  Well, here's a video of Brandon making an awesome and meaningless catch risking injury:
