Super Bowl Saturday?

MTK · 01-25-2008, 10:15 AM

I caught a few seconds of Colin Cowturd talking about this yesterday and to me it makes perfect sense. The Monday after the Super Bowl is one of the biggest days for people calling in sick to work, so why not move the game to a Saturday? People can party hard on Saturday and have Sunday to sleep off the hangover and get back to work on Monday.

I'm all for it how about you?

Yes and Yes!

The bad thing about Sunday is the start time of the game. 6:30pm with a 45 minute halftime (it seems that long!) makes for an ending after 10pm. My son is 10 and really in to football right now, but it is a school night and he will have to go to bed before the game is over! Start the game at 3pm!

He said Saturday, not Sunday. This would only benefit the young viewers who could stay up late Saturday to watch the whole event.

Young viewers do not pay the bills though - do not buy the product advertised... hence why they do not care about the young fan.

You make your son go to school the day after the Super Bowl? JK. My kids have the same rule for the Super Bowl as for MNF, no nap, no game.
With the added week before the game I'd have no problem with a Saturday night game. I think it would reduce drunk driving after the game because if you've had too much you can sleep at the host house rather than taking a risk to be able to get up for work.

I can't see a reason why it would hurt revenues to the NFL. You'd still have the same number of TV viewers.

Makes sense to me.

Basically it is easier to be hung over on Sunday then Monday.

The most accurate statement I have ever read!

super bowl monday should just be a national holiday

Yeah but moving it to Saturday sounds like a great idea.

SouperMeister · 01-25-2008, 10:53 AM

Super Bowl Saturday is a GREAT idea, but let's not give the Cowturd credit for coming up with that. I've heard the concept kicked around for years. Somebody needs to get the memo to Goodell.

sancho2613 · 01-25-2008, 10:55 AM

I'd enjoy the game a lot more if it was on Saturday even though I'd be twice as hungover the next day...

Why not push the schedule back so the Super Bowl is MLK weekend?

There is a petition somewhere online to make Super Bowl Monday a holiday. I signed it, would love to see it happen.
