RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

BENGALS

SEVEN and OMG.  This can't be happening.  Thursday night should be momentous.  Our boys wouldn't let the Browns (of all teams) spoil our fun - would they?

Did you notice that the NFL has abandoned its long standing tradition of naming Super Bowl games by Roman numerals.  Last year it was number XLIX (49).   The Bengals played in Super Bowls numbers  XVI and  XXIII  (16 & 23).  This year the Roman Numeral would be L.  L = 50 in Roman Numerals.  No where will you see an advertisement for Super Bowl L - all references to the next Super Bowl call it Super Bowl 50.   They evidently assume the American public wouldn't understand.  So sad.
