Didn’t forget a thing. My point was EXACTLY that they weren’t called Super Bowls till AFTER the fact. Furthermore, they didn’t use the Roman numerals till 1971 either.
So, your math stinks! Even if you were correct, that the “Super Bowl” didn’t begin until after the merger, XLII plus 4 still only adds up to XLVI, NOT XLVIII!
Since the merger began with the 1970 season (with the first Super Bowl of the merger era in 1971), 2007 was the 38th year of the merger, with Sunday’s game as the 38th Super Bowl of the merger era, so you’re still wrong.
Sorry to insult you, but did you by any chance attend California public schools in the recent past???
