Welcome to Super Bowl Monday, where they still may be hungover in New York and Boston for different reasons. I still say that the Monday after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday and no one has to work. It’s all about the Super Bowl today.

It’s Monday and “The Stack” has no football games to recap. Oh the humanity. Fortunately there was an epic grand slam final and upsets galore on the college basketball court.
