LOL, of course it’s raining at the Pro Bowl

The NFC and AFC squads are facing off in the Pro Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla. The weather is absolutely miserable.

It’s a balmy 76 degrees, which isn’t bad. But it is pouring rain.

After the game, offensive MVP Delanie Walker explained the impact of the weather on his four-catch, two-touchdown performance.

“It made it very difficult,” Walker said on ESPN’s broadcast. “It’s hard to catch the ball when it’s raining. But that’s what we are. We’re pros. We’ve got to make it work, and the guys did a great job of getting it done.”

Drew Brees had his three sons apply to be ball boys at the Pro Bowl. Sean Payton interviewed them and they got the job. Payton had the Brees boys go through drills to practice taking appropriate care of the game balls in these weather conditions.

This fan doesn’t seem to mind the downpour.

There’s a 90 percent chance of rain throughout the afternoon and evening in Orlando. The front is moving to the east, so if anything, it’s probably going to get more rainy as the game continues.

The Pro Bowl isn’t the most competitive game. Players don’t want to risk injury in a game that’s ultimately meaningless. But the weather is making this one a little more interesting.
