New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady has requested a trademark on the name “Tom Terrific” so his company, TEB Capital, may display it on merchandise associated with him. The request was first reported by Gerben Law Firm PLLC and subsequently by Mark Fischer of The New York Post.
Needless to say, New York Mets fans are not happy, especially Tony Kornheiser of ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption.
