Sunday January 29th, will forever be remembered by all citizens in #FootballNation because today is Day 1 of the 1st ever Football Nation Road Trip to the Super Bowl. I'll be tweeting (
@FFChamps_Bill) from the road, all week long from Indianapolis, and of course LIVE during the Super Bowl. But since we are still seven days away from the big game, today's major NFL story was the Pro Bowl and Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall's stellar performance... so let's get to it.
NFL Pro Bowl
Football Nation @Fballnation: The AFC Dominated the NFC in the Pro Bowl. Final score 59-41. Now just 1 game left in the NFL Season.
Eric Stangel @EricStangel: The Pro Bowl hats look like a hat someone would buy when they don't want to buy the officially licensed Pro Bowl hat
Maurice Jones-Drew @Jones_Drew32: It was great to see all the fans today especially the jag fans. I want to personally thank everyone involved
Jay Clemons @ATL_JayClemons: Haven't seen one second of the ...
Matt Pomeroy @MattPomPom: Just got to Honolulu Airport. Getting on a redeye heading from to with many others from NFL. Indy here we come.
-- Typically the NFL bans players from tweeting 90 minutes before and after games. But all of the rules from the "No Fun League" flew out the window for the Pro Bowl. Not only were players allowed to tweet during the game, but the NFL encouraged tweeting and even went as far as setting up computers on the sideline.
Check it out here.
