Monday Struggles to Compete With Neighboring Days

In a week of super-sized events that includes Super Bowl Sunday and Super Tuesday, Monday finds itself struggling for recognition.

Sunday the sporting world sets its focus on Glendale, AZ, and the 42nd Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. With the Patriots vying for a perfect undefeated season, it is predicted to be the most watched Super Bowl of all time.

Two days later the country will turn its attention to Super Tuesday, the day when the greatest number of states -- 24 this year -- holds presidential primary elections.

In between these two high profile days is Monday, plain old Monday. With thousands of Americans suffering through post-Super Bowl hangovers, this day has never enjoyed a great reputation. But Monday wants its chance to compete with its more glamorous week-mates.

"Monday might not have a big name event like the Super Bowl, but it offers some real quality entertainment," said Monday's spokesperson, Phillip Bostran. "We've got the CBS sit-com 'The New Adventures of Old Christine,' starring Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, returning for its third season; Comedy Central is airing a couple of really good 'Scrubs' reruns; and guess who is going to be on 'Regis' -- Martin Lawrence!"

"Oh sure, Monday isn't going to have any events as significant as the primaries," Bostran continued. "But it is Independence Day in Sri Lanka."

Bostran also added that, if the Super Bowl didn't satisfy your sporting needs, check your local listings Monday night and watch the LA Clippers and New York Knicks battle to stay at the bottom of their respective divisions.

"Just give Monday a chance," Bostran requested. "Its better than Wednesday which has been riding that damn 'hump day' crap way too long."
