INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he is
disappointed in the quality of last week's Pro Bowl and changes must be
considered, perhaps even dropping the game altogether.


Speaking on ESPN Radio, Goodell says
this year's Pro Bowl wasn't "the kind of football we want to be
demonstrating to our fans, and you heard it from the fans, the fans were
actively booing in the stands."

Goodell made his remarks on Sunday, hours before the start of the Super Bowl.


Goodell has spoken to the NFL Players
Association about his disappointment, adding, "We are going to either
have to improve the quality of what we are doing in the Pro Bowl or
consider other changes, or even consider eliminating the game if that is
the kind of quality of game we are going to provide."


The AFC won the game 59-41.
