Super Bowl Monday

The Raiders aren't in the big game, so is it even worth celebrating? Ah what the hell, it's the Super Bowl. If you're anything like the throngs of Americans who will be plopped in front of the tube this afternoon (if you're reading the chances are pretty good), then you'll be engaged in the NFL's version of New Year's Eve. If you're a Bears or Colts fan, it'll be like Christmas.

So for those of you celebrating the end of the NFL season tonight, it makes perfect sense that Monday be declared a national holiday. So say the folks at SuperBowlMonday.com.

The grass roots effort is building a petition that will get our nation's lawmakers to get the holiday written into law. They even provide a handy list of contact information for your state's Senate and House representatives.
