From Wikipedia, which echos the story as I've heard it from the sports jocks and historians over at least the past three decades, almost word-for-word: Sigh. OM, keep reading. About three paragraphs down, it says: "Super Bowl III was the first to be numbered. Super Bowls I and II were not known as such until the game's third year and were named "The AFL-NFL World Championship Game" when they were played." |
