Pro Bowl 2012 was similar to most past Pro Bowls -- it featured a whole lot of offense and little defense -- but did debut a new wrinkle by allowing players to tweet during the game.
The NFL doesn't allow players to tweet during regular-season games, but decided to establish two computers to allow players to tweet during the game - likely a move to generate some social media interest in a largely meaningless game.
The AFC won the game 59-41 behind Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall's Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns. In addition to dazzling on the field, Marshall was one of a few players that used the NFL's computers to tweet out messages about the game.
@BMarshall19 "Miami Dolphins. It's our time!! We will win. Follow me on Twitter @BMarshall19. Fins up!! #probowl."
Marshall wasn't the only one to tweet about the Pro Bowl, though. Here are a few other NFL players that tweeted from Hawaii on Sunday:
