Roamin' with Numerals

I have no idea what hour of the countdown to the Big Game we are up to. I suspect at some point the NFL will commission a private company to make half-hour biographies on every player of every team to air in the months leading up to the Super Bowl, brought to us by Bud Light and Taylor Swift just so I can imagine the MAGA meltdown as the BroFlakes settle in to watch them.

Today is the only day of the year when any of us here in the Land of the Round Doorknobs know anything about Roman Numerals. (Wait until the Moms for Liberty find out their kids are being taught ARABIC numerals in school!). 

Wait until they find out the only Americans conversant with the metric system are their kids and their dealers. Hope your team wins.
