FOXBOROUGH – Many New Yorkers and baseball fans were none too happy with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady this week when he trademarked the nickname “Tom Terrific,’’ the same nickname as former Mets great Tom Seaver, who is now battling dementia.
But Brady said on Thursday after the Patriots’ final minicamp practice that the issue was a big mix-up. It turns out Brady dislikes the nickname, and only wanted to trademark it so that no one else could associate the nickname with him.
