How do you fix the pro-bowl? NFC vs AFC needs to be there. The players need motivation to go. How do you do that and make it entertaining? Take the players out of the game. The pro-bowl NFL players will be there, but they will be coaching the 7-on-7 game between NFL head coaches.
Which conference would have the edge in a 7-on-7 game?
Here is what I came up with:

Skill: C
Fitness: B
Age: B
TE/WR: Ken Whisenhunt - A former TE seems to keep himself in shape. Known as a blocking TE, but will produce big in the passing game. One of the few NFC offensive weapons will be relied upon in the redzone. Will play entire game with "Kurt don't leave me with alone in the hot tub with Leinart" on his chest.
Skill: B
Fitness: A
Age: B
WR/DB: Steve Spagnuolo - Former small school WR, now defensive minded coach. Can play both ways with his high fitness level. Ownership will not give him needed equipment to play in game, instead will try to sell his spot on the team to a guy from LA.
