I'm ready for American football but the Pats in New England have a bye this week...grrrr.
Random note my friends, please check out http://www.superbowlmonday.com/
these great folks have the BRILLIANT Idea to declare Super Bowl Sunday designated as a National holiday. Of course the following Monday will be designated as a day of observation.
the site has the reasons, all which make sense to me. Some facts and points from the site:
-The average number of people attending a Super Bowl party is 17%, over 20 million Americans.
-Two out of five Super Bowl watchers are not even football fans. Even people who will never watch another game all year will tune in to be part of this one national event.
-Super Bowl weekend is the slowest weekend for weddings.
They want to call the Holiday: American Sports Day, National Sports Day, Athletic Day, or even
Lombardi Day ( folk around Boston will want to call it Belichick Day, for in Bill we trust). All good names. My friends please leave in the comments your idea's for the name of the Holiday (please keep it clean) . Also if you can please sign the petition at:
