After 75 years, the NFL has decided to end the Pro Bowl as a game and competition. The league will still select 88 Pro Bowlers each season, but there will be no tackle game, flag football game, skills competition, or replacement selections. Instead, the focus will shift to celebrating the players selected as the best performers of the season, with an in-person event planned in Los Angeles during Super Bowl week. The decision follows years of format changes and declining interest in the event. Player feedback also appears to have played a major role, with the NFL concluding that the honor of being selected matters more than participating in an exhibition.

Traveling with a smart TV, streaming stick, or game console can create a problem: many of these devices cannot run a VPN app directly. One workaround is to create a VPN-protected Wi-Fi hotspot using a laptop and then connect the streaming device to that hotspot.
