SUPER SUNDAY

Super Sunday-(American Holiday) a term for Super Bowl Sunday.

If Super Sunday was in the dictionary that's how it should be written in. As an American Holiday. It meets all the criteria, it's a big event where every body gets together for food, drinks, and maybe even a couple laughs. It could even be considered religious, it is on the Sabbath, and depending on how many of those drinks you had you could be on your knees praying by the end of the night.This years Super Bowl had so much more to often then most in recent years have. All the channels, papers, and reporters do a good job in finding the hidden story. Last year there was that of Larry Fitzgerald and how he was playing for his mother. This year however the stories were there as clear as day. New Orleans had Katrina, and the Colts had Pierre Garcon. (Garcon is a Haitian-American player) Of the side stories that surrounded the game that of Tim Tebow and his choice to be in a commercial was annoying. For weeks now ESPN has been going back forth over this pointless issue. "Will Tim Tebow's ad cost him his career?" What career? Yes he is a two-time National Champion, a Heisman winner, but not until June will he be a college grad. His career hasn't started, he is still a college student first. If he wants to do an ad for something he believes in, how does that make him any different then any of the washed up musicians that do commercials for animal rights. I saw nothing wrong with the ad- in fact I was really annoyed that there was so much hype. The people I watched the game with were also annoyed, the second the ad came on you could have heard a pin drop, and for moments after too since no one knew what to say. Why couldn't ESPN focus more on the real issues that are out there. How about doing more for the people of New Orleans who are still trying to get their feet under them from Katrina. There was some of this, but why was their no ad asking for people to send money or give assistance. Pierre Garcon had the weight of Haiti on his shoulders. For days Garcon was like many, unable to get a hold his family. If ESPN can show the story, why can't they give a way for viewers to donate and lend a hand? I'll take a second to do it, here is a link to help. Click for KATRINA or for HAITI. After all they say it is good to share on holidays.
