SUPER BOWL Changes I'd Like to See

The Super Bowl this year was great as (almost) always! Congrats to the Giants and their rabid fans!

That said here are some changes I'd like to see for future Super Bowls. Some of these changes are in the NFL's power and some in the hands of our elected officials. First I'd like to see the game moved to Saturday because the parties can go much farther into the night with no worry of having to "get up and go to work" on Monday morning! That's in the league's control, the next is in our lawmakers control.

Move President's Day to the day after Super Bowl Sunday(or Saturday)! I don't think Washington or Lincoln will mind, them being deceased and all. All Federal, State, and most Local government employees and offices are closed as well as banks and some other industries as well! And the day after the Super Bowl is the LEAST PRODUCTIVE WORK DAY in America! It is also the day with the most absenteeism! So help the economy by eliminating that least productive work day AND giving an extra day (or two) for fans to savor Super Bowl weekend! It sounds like a WIN-WIN situation for the league and the nation as well!
