Is the Pro-Bowl a Disruption?

Colts president Bill Polian had some harsh words for the NFL this week leading up to the Pro Bowl. The 7 Colts who were voted into the ProBowl of course will not be playing (like duh) but apparently they still have to make an appearance in order to earn the extra money associated with being selected for the ProBowl...


So the disruption comes because they have to fly to Miami (yes, we can call it Miami instead of "South Florida" guys), and fly back to Indy... and engage in all the antics surrounding the ProBowl activities.

On one hand, it's never good to change up a routine that got you here and it certainly seems like a waste/whole lotta hoop jumping. On the other, during regular season the players are used to flying to away games on the weekend. If the ProBowl activities include massive amounts of drinking and partying - it might not be the best conduct to engage in a week before the Superbowl (though I highly doubt that's the case).

Any thoughts?
