Re: 1. Why is this Super Bowl 50 instead of Super Bowl L using Roman numerals??
2. Why has the NFL all season marketed this as the “Golden” Super Bowl, implying that this is the 50th anniversary of the NFL, when the NFL was actually founded in 1920? Why does the NFL not talk much about football history before the Super Bowl era? Can you imagine if baseball didn’t talk about Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner and Walter Johnson and Cy Young, because they played before the 1960s???

Well, Dilbert, #1 if the NFL doesn't want... a big "L" any where the Super Bowl as it may be taken as meaning "LOSER!"

#2 while the Super Bowl does turns 50 this year, that does not mean the NFL does not honor it history before 1967.

And if you think otherwise about this thread... just ask big'ol_freeper--

As he is always posting ad nauseam this... when ever his Packers are in the conversation!
