Superbowl Saturday?

[D.Boon]

Who's with me? Move the SB to Saturday, already. It will be better for fans (don't have to work the next day) and the economy (think of all the extra dough that will be spent while folks have extended party time). I say get it done. It's always a bummer when we have a SB party, everyone is having a great time then it has to end suddenly as everyone has to work the next day. How many times do you think the phrase 'I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow' is uttered on SB Sunday. Plus, it can go kinda late for the kiddies.

Edit: I forgot to mention the millions lost in productivity on Monday due to workers being hungover or calling in with the irish flu.

I think this is a wonderful idea. Call up ol' Roger and make it happen.

I've got a meeting with him. I'm also going to advise him to abolish the probowl and see if there is anything he can do about the FOX robots.

Saturday would be good, Friday even better. Then you got a whole weekend to party...or drink away your sorrows.

[Helldog]

You won't be able to call in Monday as easily...

I actually heard the other day that the NFL has been seriously considering moving the game to Saturday. It just makes sense.

Well they need to be considerate to the excessive drinkers of the world. Or Obama needs to put a law in place that says no business shall open before 10 on the Monday following the Super Bowl.

My friends and I have always said that. Halloween should be on a weekend too. Here some candy kids. Now go to bed

The game of the week was Monday Night Football...until it was Sunday Night Football. The Superbowl will always be huge. I think moving it to a Saturday would make it potentially bigger. Instead of a lateafternoon evening thing it would take on a whole new life. I can see that some purists would have an issue with the change, though. Not all change is bad.

Except when it's played on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.

I concur. Halloween should be on a weekend. And get this...I think election day should be on President's day. What better way to honor the founding fathers than to get as many people as possible to participate in the democratic process. Instead, it's just a long weekend for some.

Makes way too much sense. This gets brought every year on 1530 it seems like. I really have no idea why they haven't done this yet.

The beer companies alone would make millions upon millions more. I think the ratings would be stronger late in the game and, overall, most fans would welcome it.

Yeah, I was thinking about it last night and thought 'why the eff don't they move it?' It's not like the extra day really affects the teams. Would be so much better on Sat. Still love SB Sunday, though.

Let me also add that 'Sweetest Day' should be abolished and not recognized by anyone. Total BS. Valentines Day should sue.

Anybody that's watched football and loves football knows that NFL Football is played on Sunday.

All of those reasons might make sense, but NFL Football is on Sundays.

Super Bowl on a Saturday? This isn't Russia............. is this Russia, this isn't Russia, is it?

Here in this country, Sundays are for God and football

I'm fairly certain that we will not turn into commies by moving the SB to Sat. In fact, it would be a celebration of excess. NFL play on TH and SAT now...They even play in Europe. Some of the best playoff games this year were on Sat (Indy v. Balt) and it didn't make it any less enjoyable. In fact, it enhanced my enjoyment. No worries about work the next day.

Theres a reason the NFL only has games on saturday during the playoffs.... Thats to maximize ratings they dont do this during the regular season becuase it creates more random days between games for teams to adjust to and the NFL has a deal with the NCAA not to broadcast games that will compete with their broadcast.

Sunday is Pro football.
Saturday is College
Friday is highschool.

Stop trying to confuse the country.

If you cant handle going to work the day after a football game that has nothing to do with your team... Then you either need help or need to be able to control your drinking. the superbowl is over at an early time. People who go to monday night games are out later and as drunk and they make it to work the next day.

And if your team is in the superbowl Call off or schedule off.

You must think this country is very easily confused. Like if we moved the SB to Saturday people would start doing their dishes in the bathtub and forget to eat. That horse your on is mighty high too...I am irish and I do like to drink. However, since I've become a father the most I'll ever have is a few beers. I do like to entertain on SB Sunday and people do have a good time...it's just a shame the festivities have to end early is all. I also havent called in sick to work in years bc (knock on wood) I haven't been sick. The fact of the matter though is that alcohol is deeply embedded in this country. Copious amounts of alcohol will be consumed on SB sundya. Some will call in. Some will show up hungover and not be productive. That's the reality.

This is like the people who move holidays and days of significance so they can have a three day weekend.

Tradition is tradition. Leaf it alone.

It's about tradition and it just doesn't feel right.

[D.Boon]

I undersatnd the tradiationalist perspective...but if I had my druthers I'd move it. SB Sunday isn't so sacred that I'd have an issue moving it. Not like moving Christmas to the 20th or something. But I get the sentament.

I'd also say that Monday night football was a tradition in the NFL. While it still exists its not the marquee game anymore...and I don't think many people have an issue w Sunday night football. We all watch and enjoy it, right?
