By the way, if anyone mentions lost productivity (for Mondays), they deserve to be shot.

Also all 70k-80k that were at the game were from New Orleans so no one missed work.

It's total crap, and here's why: every single office worker in America has already figured out the sliding scale of their workplace. On one end is how much work to do in order to be promoted, and on the other end is how little work they need to do not to get fired. Anybody with half a brain knows how to slack off while looking busy. So yeah, people will be hung over, but no, it's not replacing working. It's replacing the slacking off doing other crap that people were doing while looking busy but not working.

thats a possibilty for sure. I'd argue that there is NO loss in productivity. Im sure there is some. I mean i dont think productivity goes from 80% ("normal") down to 35% or anything. but i'd bet there is some reduction beyond what youre talking about

If there is anything I am an expert on in this world, it is drinking and how people handle hangovers. All they want to do is keep busy!

Keeping busy is the last thing in the world I want to do when hung over.

Speaking of bars, I just had to locate hundreds of plastic hurricane glasses for a mardi gras event we have going on this Thursday. So, in looking to order some, I stumbled upon Pat O'Brien's Pub; damn that place looks like fun. There isn't one person even remotely sober in any of the pictures.

It's a really famous bar on Bourbon Street. They even have one here in Orlando.

If you ever had a hurricane you'd totally understand why the picture looks like it does lol.

Again, you are talking about things that don't matter because they will happen whether the game is on Saturday or on Sunday. The week long NFL experience at the host city is where the NFL makes their money on top of all that. If they change to Saturday, they won't get the Friday and Saturday revenues that they get at the site. And Sunday would be the travel day that again the site would lose out on. The NFL does not care about the house party. And this is my opinion, but I don't think that having it on Sunday loses that much in beer and sponsor revenues at grocery stores.

UT's ZBT chapter imports from there every year for a party. Seems like a waste, but sobriety is not possible like in those photos
