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...
