This rarely happens, but I actually agree with Whitlock. Bill Simmons' article about the weekend is pretty funny. I think they should dump the premise of all star games in all sports. The pro-bowl is terrible, the basketball game (admittedly I didn't watch) sounds like it gets worse every year, and the pitching restrictions in the baseball game makes players take the mound under very unfamiliar conditions. I guess they're a nice pay-day for the host cities and the leagues though.
