The NFL is hitting the reset button on its Pro Bowl, giving it a radical change in format amid waning interest in the league’s all- star game. One of those changes is the addition of former” Saturday Night Live” cast member and funnyman Pete Davidson, as well as rapper Snoop Doog as captains of the NFC and AFC brigades, independently.
Likewise, former titans quarterback Eli Manning will trainer Davidson and the NFC while family Peyton Manning coaches Snoop and the AFC The NFL’s addition of Davidson and Snoop in the Pro Bowl is more evocative of the NBA’s All- Star Celebrity Game than the traditional format. People Magazine broke the news of the impersonators’ involvement onJan. 19, with Dogg having this to say about his AFC captaincy ” I am coming back to the NFL field, but this time, rather of performing, I am going head- to- head with Pete and contending for the title of The Pro Bowl Games Champion,” Snoop Dogg told People.”

The competition is going to go off, but we all know that Peyton and our AFC team are gon na do some big effects. We will end up on that tribune.” Davidson was more forthcoming about his involvement in the revamped Pro Bowl games” I am doing this to impress my Uncle Mike,” he told People. It remains to be seen how Davidson and Snoop will feature in the games, but do not anticipate them to get under center or set up protective conformations. The league has abandoned the traditional each- star game format to rather concentrate on games where players” can showcase their football andnon-football chops in unique competitions.”

That said, the eventuality to see Snoop Dogg or Davidson ding an All- Pro player — or get pounded themselves — in a game of dodgeball should be worth the price of admission. Which, of course, is presumably why the NFL has included them in the first place.
