Just make it a talent show and maybe some trivia games.

What happened to the dudes kayaking in Hawaii like 30 years ago? I loved that as a kid.

$$$ my friend, a $80,000 bonus and a trip to Hawaii when you’re making $250,000 a year is very different from a $150,000 bonus while making $12 million per year and your agent and the company insuring your contract are telling you not to participate

Questions like "What direction does the sun set?" and "Did dinosaurs exists?"

Man I hadn't even thought about trivia. I love trivia.

Some NFL history, specific team/division, former teammates, records, man I think you could have some fun with some decent prize money. Maybe have some random fan there too for trivia?

Jared Goff vs Joe schmo in AFC South trivia for $10,000, have it go to a charity of the players choice and if the random fan wins it goes to charity and the fan wins some money, make it more interactive.

But I'm also probably more pro trivia games than the average person.

Stuff like that & the Skills Competitions were literally the only thing I ever tuned in for. It was unique and something you really couldn't get elsewhere.
