For many years now, critics have said it was just a matter of time before too much exposure caught up with the NFL.

The overall Super Bowl experience for fans could be greatly improved by adopting the following format changes for the 2005 game:

– Reduce the pregame show to a half-hour and don’t let anyone diagram a play or make a prediction.

– Let the halftime show consist of two local high school bands playing Broadway show tunes and college fight songs.

– Let the TV audience grade every commercial and let the stadium crowd vote with a thumbs up or thumbs down.

– Alter the current playoff system so the Bears automatically advance to Super Sunday.
