Re: [TV orNotTV] NFL passes on Roman numeral for Super Bowl 50
Think, Bart. Where have you seen Roman numerals before? I know...Rocky V! That was the fifth one. So, Rocky five plus Rocky two (looking at the II door) equals...(looks at VII door) Rocky Seven: Adrian's Revenge!

Re: [TV orNotTV] NFL passes on Roman numeral for Super Bowl 50
I particularly like to see Roman numerals used in TV and film production credits. In particular, the BBC sticks resolutely to using them. There was something lovely about programmes in 2000 just having (c) BBC MM at the end of them. Is there another sport, aside from the NFL, that uses Roman numerals like that? Most sports just use the year.

RE: [TV orNotTV] NFL passes on Roman numeral for Super Bowl 50
From: tvornottv@googlegroups.com [mailto:tvornottv@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Adam Bowie Is there another sport, aside from the NFL, that uses Roman numerals like that? Most sports just use the year. The Super Bowl’s indoor cousin, Arena Bowl, will play its XXVIIth game in August. (Although, the league took the 2009 season off to reorganize financially, so didn’t play AB XXIII until 2010.) _ _ |_|_ Brad Beam- Belle WV |_|_ http://www.facebook.com/74bmw -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

I ran across the question of where Roman numerals are used in Yahoo Answers or a similar site. They said that the only current mass media use of Roman numerals is in the Super Bowl and movie/TV copyrights. As was noted in one of the articles linked by Bob, the Super Bowl is played in the year after the regular season. As the 2014 Super Bowl wraps up the 2013 season, using the year would get confusing, so the NFL just numbers the Super Bowl and they probably use Roman numerals to class it up. For copyrights, the theory is that they want to obscure the year from the casual viewer. -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

I love it when shows (such as sitcoms) refer to Roman numerals as Super Bowl Numbers. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
