Move the Superbowl
OK seriously, this Sunday night Superbowl stuff needs to stop. I want to go get drunk and watch the game (esp when the Giants are in it!). But I’m like, a working professional or something now. I have to go to work in the morning. Even if I can handle being drunk the night before, it means I can’t go far to watch the game (this year I’m going up to Boston… no idea how I’m going to get to work on time in the morning).
Since the NFL is obsessed with Superbowl Sunday, I propose a different solution. Move it to Presidents Day weekend. Sure we (as professionals) don’t generally get the day off, but a lot of people do, and we can at least plausibly take it off. Perhaps combine this with the talk about going to an 18 game season (and eliminating pre-season) that has been going around.
