To give you a better picture of what that exactly means add 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+ 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1

All those ones added up equals 40. And just in case you were going to ask, each one of those ones represents an individual Super Bowl game. And just in case you were going to ask, since the year of our Lord 1967, something called the National Football League, which governs the American game called football, not to be confused with the international game football (they are quite different games), made an agreement to have its champion team meet the winner of another league called the American Football League in a final championship game later known as the Super Bowl. Which incidentally got its name from a toy. Is there anything else you need clarified?

I thought XL meant extra large?
