daddy asked me a question last night that i could not answer...
why, after 49 years of roman numerals denoting which super bowl game we are watching,
did the powers that be use arabic numerals for the 50th game???
is it because they did not want a GIANT "L", for
LOSER
up on the scoreboard???
inquiring minds and all...

L is for Lucre, which is really what it's all about.

Another explanation would be that it was considered unfair on those people unable to read roman numerals? Thank god the numbers we use are arabic to begin with...
