Not a 100% bitch, but my question seems to have been buried. We are cool to post trailers for movies and TV shows in The Lair that are shown during the Super Bowl as long as we don't talk about the Super Bowl?

Sure

Thanks.

Thank you, for a while now I have despised all professional sports even my beloved baseball.

The Puppy Bowl is where the action is at.

My sediments exactly. The nfl is a disgrace to humanity and patriots in general. Thanks Para!

I will watch the Super Bowl because I’m a fan of the game of football.
Fantasy football, watching the games and cheering my favorite teams will continue.

I’m not however a fan of the *business* of football.
The NFL as a business is run by idiots and they pushed a metric shit ton of fans right off the edge allowing some fruits and nuts to force themselves into the game.

Where I really part ways with many of the forum members is when they state that ALL the players are “felon ghetto thugs” or words along those lines. That’s just ignorant IMO.
They are NOT a homogeneous group, just like any workforce anywhere. Because some cops were convicted of drug dealing, murder or taking bribes doesn’t make all cops “felon ghetto thugs”.

I also disagree that “they (the players) hate us”.
Many of the players ARE “us”! Gun owning conservatives that shoot, hunt, fish and love the outdoors and this country.
The game will be on at my house.

Thank you. Tired of hearing all the chatter about the game and that singer chick and her fooseball boyfriend.

Agreed, Para, and it does suck that we have come to this, a piece of our cultural heritage has been shit upon.

Totally stealing and using this!

He thought about it, and settled on the same opinion as you.

The closer we get to the bread and circus event, the better this post gets. Listening to Sat Radio this morning, they were discussing the opportunity to engage in almost unlimited online betting on... Taylor Swift. Her lipstick color, her wardrobe, everything. Insanity! I desperately want everyone to: Just. Shut. Up. About Taylor Swift

Can we talk about making the Monday after a holiday?

Yep. For real.

If two lawmakers in Tennessee get their way, the day after the Super Bowl could soon become an official holiday in the Volunteer State.

Sen. London Lamar (D-Memphis) and Rep. Joe Towns Jr. (D-Memphis) have introduced a bill this week that would make the first Monday after the Super Bowl a holiday in Tennessee. To make that happen though, the state would have to get rid of another holiday, so the lawmakers are proposing to scrap Columbus Day.

The bill, which is officially known as SB1344/HB1463, is pretty simple. If the bill were to pass, Tennessee Code would be changed "by deleting the language 'the second Monday in October, known as "Columbus Day;' and by inserting the language 'the first Monday after the Super Bowl, known as "Super Bowl Monday.'"

NFL fans have been trying for years to make the Monday after the Super Bowl a national holiday. As a matter of fact, back in 2013, someone started a petition asking the president to make Super Bowl Monday a holiday. After that petition failed, someone else gave it a shot in 2019, and that year, nearly 15,000 people signed a petition asking the government to make Super Bowl Monday a holiday, but that one also didn't get anywhere.

People are already taking the day off -- research has shown that the day after the Super Bowl is one of the least productive days of the year -- so fans clearly feel that the next step is to simply make the day off official.

The argument for making Monday a holiday basically comes down to fan convenience. If you turn the day after the game into a holiday, then people can get as crazy as they want at their Super Bowl party and not have to worry about working the next day. Also, kids would be able to watch the entire game and not have to worry about attending school the next day.

Making the change at a federal level will almost certainly never happen, but getting it done at the state level seems slightly more realistic. If the state of Tennessee passes this bill, it's possible you could see other states follow in its footsteps.

Fans have also proposed moving the Super Bowl to a Saturday so that they can rest on Sunday, but it doesn't sound like that's ever going to happen.

"That [idea] has been around for a long time, people have talked about that," Roger Goodell said in 2018 of moving the Super Bowl to a Saturday. "The reason we haven't done it in the past is simply just from an audience standpoint. The audiences on Sunday night are so much larger. Fans want to have the best opportunity to be able to see the game and we want to give that to them, so Sunday night is a better night."

If there's one solution that might work for everyone without changing any laws, it could be moving the Super Bowl to the Sunday before Presidents Day, which is on the third Monday of February. A good chunk of people are off work that Monday and many schools are already closed that day, so it would make life easier for a lot of people.

For that to happen, the NFL would simply have to push the Super Bowl back one more week since the game is now played on the second Sunday in February.

I'll be at the range.
Then I'll be listening to rock and roll before I turn in for the night.
No interest and I live in KC.
