Tennessee introduced a bill Wednesday that would make Super Bowl Monday a real holiday.
The bill was filed for introduction Wednesday by Senator London Lamar and Representative Joe Towns Jr., both Democrats. It proposed axing Columbus Day as a legal holiday in the state and replacing it with the first Monday after the Super Bowl.

Columbus day is a joke anymore to begin with...fight with me I dare you ...superbowl Monday as a national holiday makes MUCH more sense as an excuse for a national stay home from work to be hung over holiday.
