XL = 40

L = 50

hence them going with 50 instead of the worst letter in all of sports.

(not being a dick)  Just a heads up!

Are they sticking with the numbers instead of roman numerals from now on? I dont see SBLI sticking or anything under 56

great question.  I have no idea, thats up to the marketing gurus the NFL employs.

I remember reading about this a couple of years ago. They didn't want to use roman numerals since 50 = L. NFL didn't want "loss" or "loser" associated with the game (like the L in W/L), so they decided to just do regular numbers for this one. I think it will go back to roman numerals after this year.

Yeah I mentioned that earlier, but LI, LII, LIII looks kinda weird doesnt it?

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
