   Should Super Bowl Monday be declared a National Holiday?
   
   There is actually a petition started by Josh Moore, owner of the fantasy football site 4for4, requesting that Super Bowl Monday be declared a National Holiday. It has over 10, 000 signatures. Would you sign?

   Its a humorous idea but no.  I'm sure lots of us East Coast football fans would love to not have to worry about waking up early after drinking and watching the big game. Still though, I don't see that EVER happening.

   Any holiday off from work sounds great to me.

   It would make life a lot easier for working people and their employers who have to deal with heavy absentee rates on the Monday after the Super Bowl.

   Sure, sounds great to me. I think the Monday after Easter should be a holiday too.

      Easter Monday used to be a holiday in parts of the UK and might still be a holiday there.

   Hahahahahahahaha - no.  Although I'm good with any holiday that gets me out of work for the day, I think there needs to be something more to it than just a sport.  Although, to be fair, for what the players earn at the Superbowl, maybe they can all just pay us for a day of work instead.

   Even though I am a 9ers fan the idea of Super Bowl Monday is a little over the top.

   Hell no!  Sports are not the heart of life.  Those who have made a difference in the world should have days for which we remember their achievements.  But grown ups who make far too much money for playing school games???  I think not!  Uggghhhhh!
