They really need to just stop with All-Star games. The players don't give a f***, the scores are ridiculous, nobody really wants to play in them, it's just a waste.
Just make the All-Star selection an honor. Like "So-and-so was a ten time All-Star." We don't need a shitty game.

All Star games lost all meaning when cable television. the internet, and interleague/interconference games became the norm. The biggest reason for All Star Games before all that was for a national audience to see stars they normally wouldn't see play either due to only getting lcoal games or because they played in the other league. It allowed for some real dream matchups that would otherwise be impossible to see outside of a championship game/series. Nowadays, we have a vast multimedia landscape accessible at our fingertips. That and interleague play makes those dream matchups a lot more regular affairs.

i don't like all star games, but I love the night before festivities for all the sports. (Home Run derby, NBA saturday night, NHL skills competition)

The HR Derby is still fun. The dunk contest is trending down again, but the rest of it is fun. NHL Skills comp is kinda fun but takes too long. None of them are great, but if you took it away, people would ask for it back so you're damned either eay.

Pro Bowl should just be a collection of charity events with no Football Game. The Skills Showcases and Dodgeball are great. Add some crazy crap like Eating Contests, Dance Competition, Talent Show, Arts and Crafts Showcase and NFL Jeopardy.
I'd watch a bunch of Offensive Lineman have a chicken wing eating contest way more than the stupid game itself. Honey Badger vs Drew Brees in a Lip Synch Contest.See Tom Brady's crochet of "Three Wolves Howling at the Moon." Behold Kirk Cousin's Stamp Collection. Gaze in awe as the Watt Brothers sing and dance to the showtune "Sisters".
Basically the game is ass. All these all star games should just be a crazy weekend of showcasing Top Tier Talent and charity.

I'd like to see guys who have been in the league a while doing Combine tests to see how they still stack up. Have guys joke and trash talk each other about how they aren't as fast or strong anymore.

I had a blast at the NHL weekend but I remember more the Skills Comp that the game itself and the stuff around the game. The NHL All star game I hate the 3 on 3 format. Give me full lines. I don't main the tournament idea, but why have it 3 on 3?
