Tom Terrific?

Brady is trying to get a copyright or patent on the nickname. Tom Seavers has been called that for 50 years and now suffers dementia. Seems more than a bit selfish...Brady certainly doesnt need the $$$.

George Thomas Seaver (born November 17, 1944), nicknamed Tom Terrific and The Franchise, is an American professional baseball pitcher. He pitched in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1967 to 1986 for the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox, and Boston Red Sox. He played a role in the Mets' victory in the 1969 World Series.

With the Mets, Seaver won the National League (NL)'s Rookie of the Year Award in 1967, and won three NL Cy Young Awards as the league's best pitcher. He is a 12-time All-Star. Seaver is the Mets' all-time leader in wins, and he threw a no-hitter in 1978. During a 20-year MLB career, Seaver compiled 311 wins, 3,640 strikeouts, 61 shutouts and a 2.86 earned run average.

In 1992, Seaver was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the highest percentage of votes ever recorded at the time.[note 1] He is one of two players[note 2] wearing a New York Mets hat on his plaque in the Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the New York Mets Hall of Fame and the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.

Brady doesn’t like being referred to as Tom Terrific , I am pretty sure he got some bad advice to try to copyright the name for the purpose of trying to prevent people from using it or calling him that. It had nothing to do with marketing. But legally to do what he wanted to do he would have needed to use it. Lesson learned
