I wish they'd move all NFL games to Sunday. I'm speaking from a New Englander's POV, though. I know there is life outside of I-95 and Fridays are your local HS football day and Saturdays belong to college football...but Sundays esp. at 1:00 PM or 8:00 PM are horrible times for football (IMO). Monday Night Football sucks big-time because I usually can't watch all of it (since, you know, I have a job...I didn't watch the dramatic end of the Ravens game this year and went to bed thinking that the Pats lost).

But what the heck to I know. I'm just some guy posting on a Pats fansite.

I just checked with the local high school and college they don't have any football games next Saturday the slot is free.

If the SB was held at 1:00 pm on Sunday that would be fine, or 6 pm on Saturday, but 6 pm on Sunday sucks.

I was talking more about the regular season and how 70% of all the games are on Sunday.

As for the SB I plan on burning a precious vacation day so I don't have to worry about a long game or the inevitable hangover. Saturday would be an ideal day for the SB...and most NFL games. Let the colleges have Sunday.

It'll be 4 p.m. in Arizona and 3 p.m. on the West Coast. This way, Californians will still be able to go out for tofu and sprouts after the game.
:woohoo:

In any case, I think the Super Bowl should be played in daylight. Football in general should be played in daylight. It seems for the Patriots, everything has been under the lights this year. I anticipate the same will go for next season as well. This success is turning us into a bunch of vampires.

I was wiped out for about 12 hours after the Chargers game. Too much excitement for me.... I wouldn't mind a Saturday move.

Better yet, George Bush and Congress should get together and make the following Monday a national holiday, solving all problems cleanly.

Kickoff at roughly 6:20 pm Sunday is perfect IMO. The only neg for me is the extended 1/2 time. That's not right.

Yeah, lets just disregard the student-athletes who will have to travel back home Sunday night, just in time to get to class Monday morning.

So they won't be late for their Underwater Basket Weaving and History of Rock and Roll classes. I'm sure they don't want to miss those. :rolleyes:
