For years, it seemed like everyone from electronics stores to grocery stores would mention "stocking up" or "get a new TV" for Super Bowl Sunday. I have noticed in the past few years that they are now making oblique references to "the Big Game" or other generic terms. When did the NFL start "cracking down" on this perceived unauthorized use?

Since they are not making money off it. They feel like people are getting money off of their game and they want their cut. Thats how bussiness works. Kind of makes you want stop watching the boring game they call the Superbowl all togethere.

The term "Super Bowl" is analogous with "big spectacle" and if there's any money to be made by making a "big spectacle" of something(i.e. printing words Super Bowl on it) then the NFL wants their dime, because they own the words.

The term 'Super Bowl' is a patented named by the NFL. It always has been but until recently they haven't actively stopped unwarranted use of it. They own the name, they have the right to control it's use.
