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.

  2. HC Grover Says:

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

  3. HC Grover Says:

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

  4. HC Grover Says:

    Well it looks like fun for the players anyways.

  5. HC Grover Says:

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

  6. HC Grover Says:

    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

  7. Lakeland Says:

    If Winfield can only play like that in pads

  8. Glenn Williams Says:

    I just saw it on YouTube. I didn’t miss anything

  9. Ash Says:

    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.

  10. Steven007 Says:

    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?

  11. BucsMinisterFuller Says:

    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.

  12. Wayne Kerr Says:

    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

  13. Allen Lofton Says:

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

  14. lambchop Says:

    @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.

  15. Bojim Says:

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

  16. Obvious One Says:

    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.

  17. BucsFan81 Says:

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

  18. Stpetematt Says:

    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.

  19. Tom Petty Says:

    @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.

  21. Todd Says:

    How did that whole WOKE focus go for DeSantis? Not well my friend.

  22. Beeej Says:

    Lee Roy Selmon’s career was ended by a Pro Bowl game

  23. Tom Petty Says:

    Apparently you do give a crap @Bakerfan 🤣

    Which part of my post triggered you ?

    Is it the definition of woke or do you identify with the types of people – bullies, sissies, or backazzward I mentioned ?

  24. Mark Says:

    Bring back the College All-Star game. Real football and the kids would occasionally win.

  25. Obvious One Says:

    Tom Pathetic….

    How Dare You pretend that your somebody that You’re NOT!

    Listen Jenny come lately, I’m not an old man. And I’d LOVE to meet one of my dead idols in person so that your “woke” self can explain it to me face to face….

    I’m quite tired of the men hating types as yourself. So ANYTIME you’d like to meet a fan of a “real man” well I’m Your Huckleberry…

    The fact is, a “man” wouldn’t claim to be as yourself “woke” …. Everybody KNOWS what you really are. Old white woman whom isn’t into men. And we ALL KNOW what THAT means honey….

    You just let me know when you’re ready to meet a fan. As I said, I’m Your Huckleberry.. And we can find out who’s a bully (Stephanie and Tammy Pathetic) and find out who the bully tammer IS……

  26. Tom Petty Says:

    Omg that’s pathetic bro. You ain’t squashing a grape. 🤣

    Who is it exactly that I’m pretending to be?

    You’re saying a “real” man has to be stupid? Ignorant? Unaware?

    I’ve been here long enough to see you threaten and attempt to bully plenty of other people. Not working sweetheart 😘

    I was raised in a family of ignorant people – Selma Alabama during the 60s. I know ignorance when I see it. But I chose to learn more over the course of my life and I value awareness, knowledge, truth reality etc – you know, sissy stuff.

  27. Tom Petty Says:

    If you ever make it up to NC lmk. Beautiful mountain scenery 👍🏼

  28. Tom Petty Says:

    Cmon Joe 😎

  29. MelvinJunior Says:

    @ Steven007 @ Stpetematt – why are the same people always so ‘triggered’ by it!? I mean, every time he says it. It’s the same ones on here. Who cares. And, being “woke” is really the same thing as being asleep. Might as well be. Because, you are asleep on the inside. Empty. Actually, it’s much more like being a zombie. There is no depth. NEVER any substance or context. It MUST be ignored and intentionally left out. Facts, reality, and common sense is thrown out the window. You are willing to do anything, (&/or) say anything. Since, you are SO DESPERATE to fit in. You’re a coward. You don’t have the balls to stand up to the mob. You have to be willing to LIE. And, believe in a lie. When really, you’re only lying to YOURSELF. You’re a fake. A total fraud. While, everyone else can see right past your empty virtue-signaling. Now, that is “WOKE.”

  30. Obvious One Says:

    I want to apologize to everyone except Tammy and Stephanie. It’s seems more appropriate to name them as they quite possibly ARE.. and Melvins right about ignoring “in ONE sense”. And that’s even acknowledging these two. One of them at least IS a race baiting scum. I called out Stephanie (aka stpennysomething) the day before yesterday. Accusing ALL that feel, and quite honestly KNOW that Bowles is one of the WORST coaches we’ve EVER had despite his LUCK…. (Of which has now dried up), well he called everybody a “racist” because we actually want to “WIN” or at the Very Least, put up a respectable fight!

    What a concept.

    THAT is Already enough of That CLOWN! SHE DONE! Nothing but Distain for her.

    And I’ve seen “Jenny come lately” (Tammy Very Petty) and her smug and clownish comments just “attacking whoever” (Rather Than) even speaking of the team or a football example. Who’s Doubly using the name of a man who brought “actual quality of life” to us All. While calling herself an “Icon”, she’s taking the cheapest and Most sanctimonious pop shots she can pull out of her tampax. All the while defending the “woke” ideology….

    Again, please forgive me to the “Actual men and women who are confident in what God gave them and Doesn’t Hate “themselves” or others Because OF their confidence in their Man or Womanhood. NO MATTER their Race, Creed,or Color. I’d like to throw in their sexual orientation as well. AS LONG AS “respectfully” you Don’t attempt to push it into the rest of our faces and Insist that we’re horrible people because we have OTHER CONCERNS in life besides the Pathetic “race baiters” and the sad yet smug bullies that are So Tough taking cheap shots from the peanut gallery that ARE ALWAYS and conveniently So “far away”….

    WE HAVE FAR MORE PRESSING IF NOT MORE INTERESTING LIVES TO LIVE AND LEAD than to be interested in those whom are just so Woke and childishly trying So Hard to convince others that they magically walk on water as they spew garbage out of their mouths and tell us it’s brilliant to be life’s losers and we should aspire to “dumb down” ourselves as these Very Confused people Really ARE…

    As I’m sure 99% of you would agree.

    I can only hope that life’s clueless (that likely live under their parents roofs and enjoying the HARD WORK their simple minded and unwoke parents put into feeding and clothing them to THIS VERY DAY), would well…. GROW UP! Wake Up and GET A JOB Stephanie and Tammy! It’ll make you a Real Man or in You two cases, a Real Woman!

    But at the very least, you can FINALLY EARN Some Respect! And Everybody Will Know the change has happened because you’ll STOP with the childish and exclusively “short bus” Yaking On about how proud you are to be a little woke pr!ck and you’ll Also realize that it’s “OK” to be whatever color God made you….

    GOOD LUCK!

    Asked a simple question. Never got an answer from the poster. Shocking. But interesting conversation upstream. Keyboard, warriors and some rational adults. Sounds about right.

    Jesus friggin Christ.
    Some of you yahoos need to up your medications. 🙁

  33. unbelievable Says:

    That pretty much sums up how Winfield played last season- a lucky splash play here or there that would make everyone forget how many times he was out of position, and how he spent more energy just making sure he didn’t get a boo boo while he counted his money.

  34. unbelievable Says:

    Oh I see some of the brain dead magats have shown up to this thread too.

    A bunch of useful idiots.

  35. garro Says:

    Sorry Joe but I am officially done with “the Pro Bowl”. If the ilustrious Roger can’t figure out that this is not what real football fans want then perhaps it is time for some drastic change before the entire game is completely gone! Sorry Joe but the Pro Blow is not football. Congrats to AWJ BTW…

    Go Bucs

    Useful ? 🤣

  37. capebuc Says:

    We need to trade Winfield. He’s not playing anywhere near his contract. That money will be better spent on the D-line, O-line and tight end.

  38. Stpetematt Says:

    Wow the r@cism here is palpable.

    That whole event is a joke. Flag football?????
