    Why use the Super Bowl Roman numerals instead of the year? 

    Why is that every Super Bowl ever, each used as a Roman numeral (XXL) instead of year? This confusion whether to pursue that right. Why did not they think in particular that they should use it instead of the year like any other sport?

      Why doesn’t the NBA number their Championships? I mean MLB it is fine to use the year because they are the ONLY sport to start and end in the same year. As to the NHL you usually just hear it is the Stanley Cup champion, the year is left off.
      The NFL had enough sense to NUMBER THE CHAMPIONSHIP when they started the Superbowl. That was because the season starts one year and ends the next. Then the game is so big they can get away with using Roman Numerals. BTW there is no XXL(that would be XXX because XXL would technically be 50-20).

      Snowy hit it on the head. The 2008 season will end with a 2009 Super Bowl. It’s needlessly complicated, so the Super Bowls themselves are simply numbered instead.

      just in case they have to skip a year because of a war or natural catastrophe, they want to be able to easily tell how many superbowls ther have been.

      Because they use what superbowl it is, not the year. Instead of saying superbowl 2008, They say superbowl XLII (42).

      I guess it looks cooler writing the roman numerals than using the number. Not sure.

      This is just a guess, but maybe because the NFL season begins in one year and ends in another, so instead of using the year they number the seasons. Like I said just a guess!

      Good question, my guess is that it just looks better

      ‘Cuz it looks better..

      Would you rather have Superbowl 30 be Superbowl (XXX) or Superbowl (30)

    • PlayboyPerry509 2:31 pm on February 6, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Because Roman Numerals are cooler and easier to use.

    • Felicia C 1:52 pm on February 6, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      It’s a subliminal message that gets people thinking about Roman orgies.

    A look at the advertisers in the Super Bowl this year 

    Super Bowl a good peg to teach kids about finances
    There’s no denying that the Super Bowl is all about money, and lots of it. Consider that advertisers will spend as much as $3 million to grab your attention during the football championship in hopes of convincing you to buy their products.

    This year’s Super Bowl ads go goofy and frugal
    Game on! Super Bowl ads are returning to their goofy roots. Men march across a hillside without pants, toys joyride in Vegas and the miserly Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons” loses his fortune but finds happiness.

    What would be your reaction if the Buffalo Bills won the Super Bowl this year? 

    I predict that those with a wildcard at 10-6 Playoffs. They play twice in Miami and Cleveland once if they have one, it is; in. My guess is that the bowl, they will be super super bowl, but maybe not, but if they are like us ; do? “I am so happy that one of my favorite teams made an appearance and the Super Bowl 5K & # xeb; of times they have won até . Unë means they have a shot p & # xeb; R Super Bowl. Im not guaranteed. I think they will at least Playoffs.

      I would be surprised, but I don’t see them losing to the Pats or Colts, and if they do then it’s going to be the worst superbowl in superbowl history…it’s like saying the cardinals (my fav team) are going all the way….ha!

      My reaction….”huh?”

    • Will 5:29 pm on February 5, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      i would be flabbergasted if they got to the superbowl

      is this a prediction for the NFL this year?
      the same conference with the (8-0) patriots and (7-0) colts, and even the (5-2) jaguars, steelers, or titans. (4-3) chargers are recovering, but wont go far. but i cant see the bills being better than 8-8, let alone past the wild card round if they make it as 6th seed. ur prediction means they go 7-2 here on out.

      even if they magically got there, they would meet the packers or cowboys or seahawks or giants-if they dont go 2-6

      those are teams that i cant see buffalo beating

      I’d think the whole thing was rigged. No way do the Bills get past the Pats or the Colts in the playoffs this year.

    • teenhamodic 4:27 pm on February 5, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Haven’t the Bills lost enough Super Bowls?

      JK, I hope the Bills do pull off the near impossible, beating both Pats and Colts to get to the big game. That would be fun to see. Like when USA beat Russia in hockey.

    • Brian D 4:10 pm on February 5, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      They have a good chance.
      They are a surprising team this year and personally i am rooting for them as a fan of a fellow small market team

    • Barbaro lives on 3:38 pm on February 5, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      I think they have a chance (at a wildcard-my Jags are getting the other wildcard,damn it-lol) with a healthy and focused Trent edwards behind center.We’ll see what Losman does this week,but seems like Trent has been keeping long drives going they just need to put it in the endzone to end those long drives,dont keep walking away with 3 or 0.

      I sure hope you arent counting that Cleveland game as a win.

      I would be very surprised. Especially if they were in the superbowl, but not in the superbowl…..?

      bills even being in the super bowl is hilarious. i think they will get into the playoffs, but they dont have a chance against the pats or the colts

      I would love to see that. I felt bad for the Bills after losing four in a row. I bet 5 bucks on them both time they played the Cowboys. I would find it hard to believe that the AFC East would be represented in the Superbowl by a team that isn’t New England.

      I just don’t think they’ll even make it to the playoffs, but you never know until the season’s over.

    Super Bowl starts at 6:30 pm EST, what time will start half the time EST? How long the first half of the year? I know it depends on others goes against password, but make sense? Thank you

     
    • magiver155 9:45 am on February 5, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      It goes for a total of 4 hours. With a half hour half time. First half is An hour and 45 min plus a half hour for half time plus an hour and 45 min second half that makes 3 halves carry the one . divided by 2 and then drop the 9 which means that the commercials are not included so that you get a toal of one thousand and sixty seven, minutes dived again by the hours are 60 X 4 And then an hour of post game!!!. which has the exponent no no wait that was the quadratic angle let me do this this way, I checked the TV Guide Its gonna be CLOSE!@!
