    There is a poll going on ESPN.com right now asking this very question so I thought I would chime in on the BBS members and see how they feel.

    Yes - No

    It's always going to fall on a Sunday, so I don't think there is a point. Regardless, it's going to be celebrated like one. I voted no, though.

    it's a sunday and it's already treated like a holiday so what's the point of making it official?

    So the post office can take off the 4 days preceding it and the 3 days following it.

    I'm kind of surprised about the results. More than 2-1 voting no.

    You can never go wrong with a national holiday, especially one when someone didnt have to die to get the recognition they deserve.

    Most holidays are in rememberance of people or events. Jesus (birth and resurection), MLK, Lincoln, Washington, Columbus, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Memorial and Veterans day. Somehow the Super Bowl doesn't quite fit.

    If the Super Bowl were a holiday, would we have to buy each other "Happy Super Bowl" teddy bears or something?

    I don't know, Vince Lombardi Day has a certain ring to it. Don't tell Hallmark.

    I think the 4th of July holiday should be moved to the closest Friday. It's weird having a day off in the middle of the week some years. If it falls on a Thurdsay or a Tuesday, most people take the Monday or Friday off, anyways.

    Monday should be a holiday so we can all recover from the night before.
