I wouldn't think the NFL does, which is why it's weird that the letter is coming from them. When vendors outside Wrigley were selling the "Horry Kow" merchandise, it was the Cubs that made them stop, not MLB. Not exactly the same thing, but similiar I suppose....

People are buying who dat? shirts rather than those ugly NFC Championship shirts...

They probably don't want those shirts saying XLIV on them and the NFL not getting any money for the shirts...

NFL also said the Dome couldn't show the game on the screen...

So, by extension, it owns Who Dat, Who Dey, J-E-T-S, and every other team-associated thing you can think of. The idea that the NFL is actually a collective of 32 individual teams that can give apparel contracts to whomever they want is currently the topic of a case in the supreme court.

the league is really reaching on this. The phrase originated in the late 1800's. Just because it's been applied to the Saints doesn't mean the NFL should be able to control it. The only way they should have any say is if Saints logos are used.
