Well this is just silly
As you probably know, the NFL has a trademark stranglehold on its “Super Bowl” mark. But as Deadspin notes, the NFL now wants to lock up “the big game” as well. It currently has a trademark application pending for “the big game” applied to a host of goods and services (including football magazines and newsletters, stickers and bumper stickers, posters and calendars, non-fiction books related to football, and toys and sporting goods).
Deadspin asks:
Do we have to call it “that game they play on Sunday’s that’s kinda’ like rugy, except they were pads and run plays and stuff”?
Rolls off the tongue, don’t it?

That's ridiculous....everyone in the Bay Area knows the real Big Game is Cal vs. Stanford. Super Bowl is applied only to the NFL--big game is definitely not.
