Voting began on Tuesday for the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl, but the future of the game is still very much in doubt. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has stated in the past that the game is “not up to NFL standards,” and very nearly killed the exhibition game off last year. The players reportedly wanted another chance to improve on the game, but it does not appear that the commissioner is willing to see many more lackluster games.
