The 2010 Pro Bowl will be played on January 31st while the 2010 Super Bowl will be held one week later on February 7th. In recent years, the NFL has discussed having the Pro Bowl game and the Super Bowl played in the same city.

Miami was named the place for the 2010 Super Bowl three years ago for the 10th time. Months ago, the discussion about whether or not to bring the Pro Bowl to Miami in 2010 began.

The Pro Bowl has been held in Honolulu since 1980. Before that, the game site rotated annually and came to Miami in 1975.

The NFL has not yet announced the move of the Pro Bowl from Honolulu to Miami for 2010, but Hawaii’s governor and Honolulu’s mayor both confirmed the rumors. It is quite possible that after 2010 the Pro Bowl site will rotate between different destinations.

Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle said, “While I am disappointed the Pro Bowl likely will not be played in Hawaii in 2010, I respect the NFL’s decision to play the post season all-star game in the same city as the Super Bowl, one week before the Super Bowl, on a one-year test basis.” She hopes to make a deal before the 2011 game for the game to return to Honolulu even if only every two or three years. The Pro Bowl is very important to Hawaii because it generates about $30.5 million in visitor spending and taxes.

Those who might want to attend the Pro Bowl in Miami, should keep in mind accommodations might get pack really quick. Therefore, it is highly advised to book Miami hotel’s  rooms, Miami holiday rentals, or Miami Beach vacation rentals as soon as the news is confirmed.

Early this week a controversy evolving Miami Dolphins’ Jason Taylor emerged. It seems the soon to be ex-NFL player wants to slow down his football career in order to pursue an acting career. Taylor recently said to the media that he still wanted to play football, but no more with the Miami Dolphins.

Jason Taylor participated in the last season of the popular TV “Dancing with the Stars” where he displayed a bit of charisma. His sudden popularity might be the reason why Taylor is so into pursuing an acting career using “Dancing with the Stars” as a platform.

It is still unknown if Taylor is out of the Miami Dolphins. However, we do know he isn’t participating in Miami’s off-season workout program. It seems like taking acting classes and auditions is time-consuming; therefore, Taylor’s scheduled is pretty tied.

Afterwards, Taylor is facing a difficult choice. He can continue his pursuit of the Super Bowl ring that has eluded him through 11 standout NFL seasons, or can retire to take advantage of his popularity in Hollywood from his “Dancing with the Stars” appearances.
