NFC Wins 2009 NFL Pro Bowl


Arizona Cardinals (NFC) wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald tiptoes the sidelines after catching the game winning touchdown in the NFC's 30-21 win over the AFC in the 2009 NFL Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium. Fitzgerald outjumped Tennesee Titans (AFC) cornerback Cortland Finnegan to pull down a pass from New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning in the fourth quarter, which put the NFC ahead.

The 2009 Pro Bowl ends a 30-year run at Aloha Stadium. The 2010 game will be played in Miami, FL, the week prior to Super Bowl XLIV. Despite the game being moved, players in this year's all-star game said they preferred to play in Hawai‘i, because they see our location as vacation time for them and their families. To them, Miami is "another day at the office." The NFL said they are looking at the Pro Bowl returning in 2011.

I'm so surprised they are moving it to Miami next year. And I don't understand the week before the super bowl. What if someone gets injured? I think Hawaii is a much better location!! Hopefully they'll reconsider for 2011.
