Cancel it, and do away with the stupid and pointless extra week before the Super Bowl at the same time!

LOL the possibility of reducing "hype" production time is very low....

I don’t mind the extra week, and I don’t mind the hype. It’s the “circus” part of Bread and Circuses, and people seem to like it. However, I’m biased because I live in a warm climate, and more often than not this hype comes to my hometown with the “bread” part.

Now that we have a real Stadium, we get considered a lot more often (I’m in Phoenix, so there’s essentially no football the rest of the season). Every once in a while they have to award it to a Northern city in an open Stadium, just to remind them why that’s stupid.
