Ways to Refer to the NFL Championship Game that Won’t Get You in Trouble with Lawyers.

1. The Big Game
2. New TV Ad Festival and Lady Gaga Concert
3. In Which 22 Grown Men Grab Each Other and Roll Around on the Grass in a Totally Non-Gay Way
4. The Falcons of Atlanta versus the Patriots of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New Hampshire
5. That game in which the half-time show may be even more controversial than the actual game.
6. That game I skip in favor of the Puppy Bowl and Kitten Half-Time Show.
7. Potential Wardrobe Malfunction '17
8. The game that used to be called the NFL Championship Game.
9. The Football Oscars
10. Lady Gaga and the Gaga-ettes
11. The “Pizza and Wings Are Eaten Far More Than Usual” Night
