Roman numerals never repeat a character more than three times. That's why 9 is IX vs VIIII, etc.

NFL has already said next super bowl will be officially 50 and not L

After that they will go back to Roman numerals

I figured that they would go with what would make money. After all these years they would ditch the Roman numerals and call it 50th, only seems likely that they would, what a better way to make money. Bunch of hippocrits, uses Roman numerals for all these years, but back track and change it when it is financially viable.



I don't even watch the Super Bowl, as a matter of fact I think its a horrible spectacle and anyone that is drawn into it is a ****ing idiot. Have fun you dumb ****ers!

You should have seen the post I had typed out, it was a good one. However I figured it would offend some people so I deleted it.

Yup, I'm on episode 9 but might have to re-watch 7 and 8 because I wasn't paying attention
