Super Bowel Party!

You probably know that you are not allowed to put the word “Super” and the word “Bowl” together, right?

The National Football League owns the rights to that phrase. You know…. Super (pause, pause, pause) Bowl. They can and will prosecute you for the use of that phrase if you do not pay them to use it.

To avoid paying a hefty fee I will use the random phrase “Super Bowel” for the rest of this article.

Grocery stores want to sell chips, pop & beer. Bars want to sell beer, wings, beer and beer. If they use Super Bowel in an advertisement the NFL will be on them like stink on the Detroit Lions.

Too bad for these businesses, who resort to phrases like “the big game” and “the football game” in their ads.

Lame, lame, lame. I am surprised the NFL hasn’t copyrighted “the big game” and “football” and “game”. They seem powerful enough to do it.

(What? They DID try to copyright “the big game”? Do I owe them money for saying “football”?)

You would think the NFL would encourage the use of that phrase, to make this event EVEN MORE POPULAR.
As it is, the Super Bowel is, year in and year out, one of the lamest football games of the year, college or pro, rarely competitive and always too long.
