Superbowl Saturday?



Oh it's that time of year again, Super Bowl...Saturday? 

How great would it be if the Super Bowl was actually held on a Saturday instead of Sunday?  Yeah I know you have all those traditionalists who will argue.  But didn't we just hold the Pro Bowl in Miami, the week BEFORE the Super Bowl?  But I digress.

Super Bowl on Saturday makes sense in so many ways.  First you have the parties.  Who doesn't love a great party, especially one that involves beer and football?  The parties would be bigger and better because there's no need to end them.  What are you going to do the next morning, go to work? 

This brings up another point.  If you have a bigger party then you're going to be spending more money.  Hello, the economy needs us to spend, or so I've been told.  So not only are you doing a service for your fellow man and woman, you know they love a man in uniform, by throwing a kick ass party; you're helping out your country as well.

And if we don't have to work the following day, there's no need to call in sick to work and waste away one of your sick days.  It's been reported that about 5% of the work force calls in on the Monday after the Super Bowl.  Talk about no productivity.  Not to mention that the ones who do show up just end up complaining about how much they had to drink and how their head hurts...blah blah blah.  Get over it rookie.

Sure there are pros and cons to everything.  And there will be those who will argue that the Super Bowl should be left as is.  Those points are valid.  But I don't care.  These are my thoughts, my mindless ramblings and you can get over it.

Oh and GO COLTS!!!
