Of course, I am writing this on Saturday, the day before one of the most important days of of the year. At least many think so. Some have suggested that we make a holiday out of the Monday following.

That is a little curious as the root word is holy. In essence, that would mean making a holy day out of the day following a sport avent. I understand though. Who would want a car built on the Monday after the Super Bowl? I wouldn’t.

Let’s face it. There is likely a large percetage of folks coming in with hangovers. Even if not, many will be tired, especially those on the west coast.

There is another aspect, a 2 sided coin. Just how much time at work will be spent making armchair, post game decisions. Who all will be second guessing the the calls of the referees.

On the other side of the coin, what if no one goes into work Monday? Look at all that pentup desire to disguss the game and there’s no one to talk with about it. I mean, if everyone stays home, who are you going to tell about that lousy call the ref made?

Maybe what we need is an official half day. Everyone goes to work as normal. For the first 4 hours, everyone has a post game party where everyone disgusses the game. The rest of the day, normal.

Regardless, the vast majority of TVs will be tuned to the game while the game is on, and of course, virtually everything else will cease, especially every level of government. As far as I know, it is truely the only thing to cause all activity in Congress to cease.

There is one other thing that makes me wonder. Does the serious crime rate go up or down before, during and after the little contest. Even more, what happens to the stats during half-time. Just how badly do the crooks want to see the half-time show.
