The Pro Bowl is the National Football League's all-star game. It is the final game
of the NFL season and is officially called the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl. The game has been played
at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii since January 1980.
Currently, players are voted into the Pro Bowl by the coaches, the players
themselves, and the fans. Each group's ballots count for one third of the votes. The fans vote
online at the NFL's official site, nfl.com. There are also replacements that go to the game
should any selected player cannot play due to injuries. Prior to 1995, only the coaches and
the players made Pro Bowl selections.
The first Most Valuable Player award in the Pro Bowl was presented in 1951.
From 1957 to 1971, two awards were presented to an offensive back and a defensive
lineman. In 1972, there were awards for both an offensive player and a defensive player.
Since 1973, there's been only one single MVP award.
