Tecmo tournament!Honestly, they need to just...
I like the idea and maybe they can add some past HoFers to the game to have some more fun. Could probably even get some good advertising dollars by having the guys all where copperfit gloves and back supports .Honestly, they need to just change it to a flag football game where guys can go have fun, not risk (less of a risk) getting hurt, etc. (the Robert Edwards incident notwithstanding). Have them get mic'd up and have it just be an fun interactive experience where maybe they also all get to walk around after it's over and sign some autographs.

Fans want to see a fun game where they can see some of their guys make some plays, hear them talk and it could even be a thing where coaches do some cool stuff with some trick plays and have it at least be entertaining. At least that way, star players won't avoid it to avoid injury and you'd have a chance to see some of the biggest names just out there having a good time. Fans will go if the players they want to see are there and it's a good experience. But it's not real football right now and it probably never will be, so it's time for the NFL to start coming up with a better way to at least make it an event people want to go to/watch.

I'm a different kind of sports fan. I'm a fan of the players' abilities and athleticism but I have no interest in hearing from them or getting an autograph. It's what happens on the field that counts to me.
Years ago my oldest confronted me on that and asked me if I'd want an autograph from Larry Bird. I told him no and if I ran into Bird I'd just want to shake his hand and thank him for his play as a member of the team I root for.
Many times, when I hear athletes speak, it turns me off. The best example of that is Kyree Irving, but there are plenty more.
I hear ya'. On the other hand, having dinner with Jalen Brown, or Jabbar, or Rick Carlisle, would be pretty cool.
It was beach football. He was chasing down a pass thrown by Joe Theismann. IIRC, despite a stellar rookie season, he wasn’t even an actual pro-bowler that year, but was invited to participate in the other events.But he wasn't injured in the game itself but some stupid beach volleyball game or crap of that nature to promote the game....
All of today’s video game technology and they still haven’t created a game that’s simply as *fun* as Tecmo Super Bowl.Tecmo tournament!
I suppose we can dream. I'd like to play golf with Brady, but it's still what he does on the field that floats my boat.
