Does the NFL prevent people from saying "Super Bowl"?
No but the NFL can prevent anyone from profitting on their name rights without compensation.
Just like bands who play cover tunes. You can play any song you want at a concert, you just cannot record, reproduce, or profit from the cover song without som esort of agreement / compensation.
Too many companies were advertising SuperBowl this and Superbowl that and the NFL wasn\'t seeing a dime in royalties. Now anyone who uses "Superbowl" has obvioulsy paid for the right, and is properly the "official" blah blah of the Superbowl / nfl.
