I've never been a huge fan of the two-week gap before the Super Bowl, I think
the change in schedule is one of thing things that leads to sloppy play as teams
lose their normal rhythm. Another thing that bothers me is how late the game
runs, since much partying is done in conjunction with the game. So I'm thinking
the solution to the latter problem may be in the former complaint: If they are
going to wait an extra week for the game, why not have it on Saturday night,
rather than Sunday? Moving the game up a day wouldn't harm preparation, as the
teams would still have 13 days to prepare, but it would give partiers a Sunday
to recover before resuming the work week, and a better excuse to allow
youngsters to stay yup late to watch with no school the next day. I'm guessing
this could never happen, if for no other reason than the term "Super Bowl
Sunday" is almost a brand at this point, but I think playing the game today
rather than tomorrow would be a move in the right direction.
