His Pro Football Reference page has had Tom Terrific as one of his nicknames for at least 5 years
Seaver should’ve filed if it was that important to him.
They've got a point. However, they're wrong in targeting Brady for their ire. The problem lies with the trademark laws, not the people using them.
The nickname I have for Esiason is one he doesn't want to hear. I try from time to time to watch his show in the morning, but he's such an obnoxious, insufferable, moralistic ***#### that I never make it more than a few minutes. The fact that he could make a useless slug like Craig Carton sound good by comparison says it all.If my name were Norman, I might go by a nickname, too.
I fondly remember that show from my formative years. Apparently its creators/rights holders aren't invested in the title's legal ownership.
Not to be too insensitive about a legitimately sensitive matter, but Tom Seaver reportedly is suffering from dementia and probably doesn't care (or remember much about being "terrific" himself).Tom Seaver debuted 52 years ago. He had plenty of time to get a TM. Either way, I don’t think this is an attempt to block Tom Seaver from using the moniker. It’s an attempt for Tom to brand Tom Terrific in the same way he branded TB12 as an official brand name. Do you really think he’s going after the annual $11.50 booming industry of Tom Seaver “Tom Terrific” merchandise (I think someone made a shirt once with some acrylic paint and sold it) and looking to sue Mets fans for using the phrase? Quite sure if Tom Seaver makes a “Tom Terrific” shirt with Seaver’s face on it, this isn’t an issue. It will become an issue if Brady runs with this and suddenly others use his logo and phrase to knockoff products.
Wait ... "The Pharaoh?"
