I'm waiting for the first Presidential candidate to suggest this new national holiday.  I think they'll get a lot of favorable reaction.

I am not joking.

So because you and millions more have no self control we should let a game conduct how business is done?  The average game time for a regular season game is 3 hrs.  The SB is 4 due to added commercials and the halftime.  The SB is no longer about the game but the event.  That we allow networks to dictate when the event is played is beyond ridiculous.  Play the game at 1600 EST and the ratings will not change.  Stop the halftime spectacle.  What other league sells it's soul for ratings like the NFL?

Stepping off my soapbox...
