This idea seems to pop up around this time every year -- the concept of moving the Super Bowl to a Saturday or giving everyone off the day after it as if it's a federal holiday or something.

No.

Stop.

It's a football game.

Suck it up and go to work.

Yes, I know it's the Eagles. But still, c'mon.

First of all, according to the folks who measure TV audiences, typically around 100 million people will watch a Super Bowl game.

And, chances are, if the day after the Super Bowl was a national holiday, we would all be sitting on the couch -- again -- eating reheated piles of whatever.

Stop it.

Go to work.

And, get this: even if you sit at a desk for eight hours a day, you'll still burn about 800 calories, according to fitnessblender.com.

The Worst Gifts You Can Give An Eagles Fan

We all have that one friend who is a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan. When you don't know what to get them for their birthday or a special occasion you usually just go for some birds gear. In all honesty, not all Philadelphia Eagles memorabilia is as cool as you may think. We were able to find some really bad ones that no Philadelphia Eagles fan should ever have.
