The Super Bowl is all sorts of fun and stuff, unless your team isn’t playing in the actual game. Then, Super Bowl Sunday is all about eating, drinking, gambling and hanging out while a football game is being played in the background. But the most popular single sporting event in America is far, far from perfect. If I were running the NFL, here’s a few simple things I’d do to improve the game.
Move the Super Bowl to Saturday night
You could counter with “Football purists will hate this!”, but football isn’t baseball. Actually, there are no such things as “Football purists”. Lennay Kekua is a “Football purist”. If they did exist, or had a strong voice, you’d be hearing a lot of stuff about how it would be bad for the 49ers to win the Super Bowl because it might usher in an era where read-option offense is the norm, and soon we won’t have any drop-back, gunslingin’ quarterbacks like the good ole days of Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman and blah blah blah.

The New York Jets are in salary cap hell. There are a lot of holes to fill on their roster, but unfortunately due to their precarious financial situation, they are not exactly in the position to acquire great players through trades or free agency.

February 01, 2013
According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the New York Jets don’t believe they have the money to re-sign tight end Dustin Keller this offseason.
This makes a lot of sense since the Jets are over the cap by about $18 million I believe.
Keller is a very good tight end that will get some nice offers on the open market that the Jets won’t be able to compete with.
