Kwon Alexander Versus Antoine Winfield, Jr.
February 4th, 2026
Eight years ago many NFL fans had been blasting the Pro Bowl for years. They called it a sham of a game with no defense.
The Joe typing here wasn’t on that bandwagon. In fact, the photo above is of former Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander drillling Tyreek Hill after sprinting downfield in punt coverage in a rainstorm during the January 2018 Pro Bowl in Orlando.
Those were the days.
Alexander also drilled then-Colts tight end Jack Doyle in the first quarter of that game.
That brings Joe to yesterday’s big Pro Bowl. It’s now a flag football game that feels more a cheesy kids show on Nickelodeon.
Bucs safety Antoine Winfield was named defensive MVP. His big play was celebrated below. Wide open Ja’Marr Chase dropped a pass and Winfield caught the bobble.
Congratulations, Antoine!
Joe will keep watching the Pro Bowl because, well, it’s football. But the NFL makes it harder and harder.
An INT off of Joe Burrow and what a return by Antoine Winfield Jr.‼️ #ProBowlGames

It is a nice free vacation and popularity contest. The $1.98 Beauty Show of the NFL!

Good Lord!!! Is that video practice or the actual Woke Bowl

Well it looks like fun for the players anyways.

Joe…..that is not Football. Far from Football. Sorry Joe.

That looks more like the TV pre game show where the announcers make fools of themselves on an 5 yard fake field. Sens in Bradshaw! Bwaaaakahaha PATETIC

Flag football is about as exciting as this up and coming season with Todd holding the reigns again for some unknown reason. Yay for this supposed good culture bucs have that isn’t about winning so excited for them to run that back again.

Grover, you mentioned the word woke more than any human I’ve ever seen. Why exactly? You’ve never answered that. Seriously. What’s the obsession?

It’s good to see the boys having fun.
Let’s face it If they didn’t change it no one would be in it.
Not worth getting injured in a meaningless game. (preseason i am looking at you too.)
They should have beer kegs on the side lines.

If you watch it, it was an easy completion to the receiver so technically Winfield did a terrible job of covering him fortunately, and the stats don’t show this, the receiver bubbled it, and then it bounced into Winfield’s hand
I still say he’s overrated

The Pro Bowl has turned into a clown 🤡 show thanks to Roger Goodell. About as exciting as watching Swans swimming 🏊♂️ in a pond

@Allen Lofton,
You do realize the PLAYERS don’t want to play tackle in pads in the Pro Bowl right? Nobody wants to risk injury in a meaningless game and ruin their career. The bag is a lot bigger today than it was in decades past. Although, the NFL in general is getting softer due to player health and a bad PR nightmare with CTE. There’s a lot more eyeballs, medical scrutiny, and science today than ever.
Roger Goodell doesn’t want his stars riding around in scooters like Micah.

I like it the way it is now. Always used to hold my breath whenever somebody got clobbered. Why risk your career? V

Steve, do you feel like he’s mentioning you? You seem to notice it more than any human on the planet. Is that what is……? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Are you the type that don’t like men AS men? Well Stephanie,…. if that’s Your case, You’re at the wrong blog hun… Lip stick is SOLD ELSEWHERE MAM!
Only Real Men and Woman like to hang around here. Perhaps the Avon blog is where you should open Your Yap! And it’s “NOT” perhaps…..
As far as “Pro Bowl”… is that what they called the game? Seriously? No Wonder Stephanie’s hanging around! It’s becoming more of a fegs type of Disney show instead of the game known as “FOOTBALL”! Pathetic.

Just think how good Bowles defense would be if it was flag football lol

Nothing wrong with being woke. The opposite is asleep, as are most fans of the other team. Ignoring the evidence of their own eyes and ears.

@Obvious One
I’ve noticed it too.
You are a real man? LMFAO 😂
Wannabe bullies are usually the biggest sissies when sh#t gets real. SMH 🙄
“Woke” is a term denoting an active awareness of systemic injustices, particularly regarding racism, social inequality, and prejudice.”
Only the most backassward of people could see this awareness as a negative.

Go talk too your echo chamber and get that tinglly feeling going up your leg on how virtuous you are… As for me I don’t give a crap.
