Why is it Super Bowl XLVIII?

[Christopher]

LL Cool J lost any cool points he might have had remaining when he apologized to the South for Sherman's March to the Sea in a Confederate-apologist song, and compared wearing do-rags to wearing the Confederate flag as if they were on the same level.

I was unaware of that. The extent of my knowledge is that there is a well-known musician/actor who uses the stage name "LL Cool J." That and what he looks like, but not much else.

 

[Amaris]

Yeah... I would. Retire that is, after losing that badly. I think he's had a good run, time to enjoy life before he risks getting busted up and in chronic pain for the stretch of his golden years.

Great pic btw, J.Allen. Good matching.

Thanks.

I'm sorry but I see that and I think it could be a good porn movie.

*straightens tie*

Go on...

How about a hybrid number 5X, like a tee shirt size.

Hmm, well then you could just call it Super Bowl VX. Yeah, Roman numerals don't work like that, but this the United States. We're pros at taking longstanding conventions and making them 2Extreme4U.

No worries, I wasn't criticizing you for mentioning him. Just making an offhand comment.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Roman Numerals are cool.

I remember when we learned them in 3rd grade I was like, OMG THIS IS SO COOL..

Yeah.

 

[B.J.]

Well, there's already mentions in several news stories on nfl.com about "Super Bowl L", so I'm guessing they're going to stay with that.

 

[Skywalker]

Does anyone else think the NFL missed the boat by not scheduling Super Bowl XLIX to be played at the San Francisco 49ers' new stadium?

 

[SmoothieX]

Um. No.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Since 1) Super Bowl venues are scheduled years in advance, and 2) Super Bowl L will be played at the 49ers' new digs, I don't see the big deal.

My humor detector indicates that it was a joke.

A very LIL joke.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Don't jokes have to be, you know, funny?

Hence the ouchie face, eh?

Is that a serious post from you? I don't even ...

There's still time.

They should run with it: "The road to L is paved with good intentions."

 

[Captrek]

I look forward to fans excited about their team's march to the Super Bowl expressing their enthusiasm by making L's with their fingers on their foreheads.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

And greeting each other with a loud "L-o, how are you?"

 

[Captrek]

I wonder if ululation as a cheer could catch on with American fans.

Now that was funny.
