The Thing On TV On Sunday Between, Uh, That Team And, Uh, The Other Ones
You know how the NFL polices the mark SUPER BOWL, as in, a store can't say 'Your Super Bowl Party Headquarters,' because, you know, people would be confused.

Well, check out this pending trademark application, currently in the opposition period:
