Superbowl What??!!
 
Maybe it's just me... but when are they gonna get rid of those stupid Roman numerals with the Superbowl? I mean, who the fuck can read that shit anymore? After you reach 20 it just becomes gibberish.

The tradition of shitty half time shows needs to change! I've felt a sympathetic embarrassment for a few in the last decade.

Try doing long division with Roman numerals. :)

In a few years it'll be Super Bowl L.

I already need a decoder to decipher the numbers now

I kind of like the topless stars. Can we have wardrobe malfunctions with Fergie and Shakira?

I actually agree. Don't know why they don't just give the number...

Its simple

I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1,000

Lol... yeah, it's simple when it's just a single letter. Not when you have XCVIII :Oh crap

no one even cares about the numerals anyway who cares if they change it.

PornMD 01-08-2012 04:26 PM

Are Roman numerals really that difficult for people?

NaughtyVisions 01-08-2012 04:47 PM

The Roman Numerals look more interesting that writing regular numbers.

XLVIII looks more intriguing than 48.


I get the tradition part of it, and am not asking for a change, but I think if they do change it, it should just switch to the year, i.e. SuperBowl 2012. Wait, that sounds like a video game...

Only if you're an idiot

blackmonsters 01-08-2012 05:37 PM

I'd like to see how people would react if their stats were in roman numerals.

it seems it is for some people! who would have thought it?

Half man, Half Amazing 01-08-2012 07:19 PM

I don't see the point of complaining because when they speak the number of the game they don't actually say the roman numerals...they say "super bowl thirty-eight"....so is your gripe merely with logo/merchandise because that's the only place the roman numerals are reallly used

chaze 01-08-2012 08:54 PM

I doubt they will, NFL is all about tradition or they would of changed some of the rules to make it better.

CurrentlySober 01-09-2012 03:30 AM

I say... Replace them with ACTUAL POO...

calvinawe 01-09-2012 05:05 AM
