Gervin irked Bears' Williams filed trademark for 'Iceman'

Gervin irked Bears' Williams filed trademark for 'Iceman'
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' attempt to trademark the moniker "Iceman" is facing scrutiny from a legendary NBA player who shares the same nickname.
George Gervin, the Hall of Famer and four-time NBA scoring champion, told ESPN that he was "caught off guard" when he learned that Williams had attempted to trademark "Iceman," the nickname that Williams earned during the 2025 season for his late-game performances that culminated with the Bears winning their first playoff game in 15 years.
"I've been the Iceman for 40-something years," Gervin said. "I never thought anybody would try to trademark it. He kind of knocked me out the box."
On March 16, Caleb Williams Holding Inc. filed four trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office related to the "Iceman" nickname. According to the trademark application, goods and services related to the name include athletic sporting goods and equipment, water bottles, T-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, hats, eyewear and downloadable posters and digital trading cards.
On March 20, Gervin Interests LLC filed two trademark applications for "Iceman" and "Iceman 44," the latter of which references the jersey number Gervin wore throughout his NBA career. In 1987, the San Antonio Spurs retired Gervin's number.
One of the biggest questions, according to trademark attorney Josh Gerben of Gerben IP, is how trademark rights are viewed. Gerben said Gervin could claim that even though he didn't file the trademark, he was using it before Williams even though Williams filed it first.
But since Williams filed his application first, the USPTO could accept Williams' application and refuse Gervin's.

OK, who is the real "ICEMAN" and should get the trademark?
Hint: It isn't Caleb Williams.....

Ryan Day Says Legend Bey Has Missed “A Couple of Practices” This Spring, Hopes to Have Him Back Soon
“Legend has been out here for a couple of practices. Hopefully we can get him back here soon. He certainly flashed when he was in there, but making the transition from being a quarterback to playing running back is two different things, especially at Ohio State.”

Press Coverage: Brock Boyd Turning Heads As Chris Henry Jr., Earl Little Jr. and Jay Timmons Also Draw Praise Through Six Spring Practices
Brock Boyd is making waves this spring, as are Earl Little Jr. and Jay Timmons, while the right side of the offensive line remains the position battle we're most intrigued by.
Press Coverage: Brock Boyd Turning Heads As Chris Henry Jr., Earl Little Jr. and Jay Timmons Also Draw Praise Through Six Spring Practices
His first spring at Ohio State is already evidencing that. Boyd, who had more than 3,300 combined receiving yards the last two seasons while facing elite high school competition at Texas' Southlake Carroll, became the first freshman to shed his black stripe this offseason. Ryan Day was the latest in a line of players and coaches to praise Boyd in his Tuesday press conference.Boyd was far from the only new Buckeye to earn Day's compliments. Florida State transfer safety Earl Little Jr. was tabbed as a "bright spot" for Ohio State thus far in spring practice. Freshman cornerback Jay Timmons continues to see his stock rise, with Day praising his physicality and performance, and five-star freshman receiver Chris Henry Jr. has "flashed" alongside Boyd, showing Day he’s “everything we thought we saw in recruiting.”
All of it fed into Day's larger view that this is one of the deepest teams he's had at Ohio State. Position battles remain ongoing between those depth pieces, though, and the most intriguing one remains on the right side of the offensive line. Ian Moore continues challenging Phillip Daniels at right tackle as Gabe VanSickle tries to stake a claim to the right guard spot. Joshua Padilla, another contender at right guard, is out this spring, per Day.
Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Feels Ohio State’s 2026 Roster is One of the Deepest of His Career, Earl Little Jr. A “Bright Spot” in Spring Practice
Ryan Day feels Ohio State has “more depth across the board” than in years past, and transfer safety Earl Little Jr. has been a major “bright spot” thus far in spring practice.
Ryan Day Feels Ohio State’s 2026 Roster is One of the Deepest of His Career, Earl Little Jr. A “Bright Spot” in Spring Practice
- On Julian Sayin getting more involved in the running game: "It's the X-factor. ... I think going into this season, there's going to be opportunities for him to do that, and that's going to be a big point in the game." Day said it will be important both for Sayin to take scramble opportunities and present a threat in designed runs.
- Day said that Ohio State's pace of play comes down to "efficiency." Whether the offense is moving slow or fast, it's about execution, he said.
- Split fields and more creative ways to get players extra reps have been an advantage this spring practice, Day said, with the number of transfers and early enrollees Ohio State has. "We've never had this many players for spring practice."
- On whether Ohio State wants to get more reps for young players than in the past: "The first thing we always want to do is win the game. Then from there, we want to put the best players on the field. ... If they earn that right in practice, then we've got to put them in the game. ... We have more depth across the board."
- On whether having more depth will change the pace of play philosophy on offense: "To me, the number one thing is efficiency and that's what it comes down to." Day said that if a faster pace gives Ohio State an edge, it might be able to afford more snaps with the depth it has at various position groups.
- Sayin has looked good this spring, but needs to keep getting reps as his responsibilities grow, Day said. "We're seeing Julian set the tone in terms of how it's supposed to look. ... But he needs to play, and the more reps he gets, the better he'll be."
- On Earl Little Jr.: "Plays fast, plays twitchy, communicates well. Did a great job in the weight room. ... Jumped off the screen right out of the gate. ... He really enjoys the culture, loves the competitiveness. He's been a bright spot."
- Freshman receiver Brock Boyd continues to impress in spring practice and can handle all three receiver positions, Day said. "He knows how to run a route. He's serious about it, he can play multiple positions. ... He's got quick twitch, he can change direction, he's got strong hands. I'm excited to see where his career goes."
- Qua Russaw has impressed at defensive end in spring practice as Ohio State searches for sacks off the edge. "That's a position where we're gonna need production this year." Beau Atkinson had a great offseason, Day said, while Zion Grady is looking good as he works back from a minor injury.
- Day's top concern this spring remains the running back position with Bo Jackson and Isaiah West still out. "They're working. ... I don't think that's gonna get solved in just a week of practice. We've got work to do there." Day added that Legend Bey has "flashed" but it's been a transition going from quarterback to running back. Bey missed the last couple of practices with an injury, but is expected back on the field soon.
- On new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith: "He's a really good communicator. He's very, very intelligent. He's very excited about our guys. ... There's really not much that we can't do, so the question is, what can we get good at? ... He really does understand the pass game and the run game at a very high level."
- On Chris Henry Jr.: "He's flashed. He's really had some nice plays. To play as a freshman is a lot. He has to have the mentality that he's gonna start from day one. ... He has all the traits, he has all the skills. Everything that we thought we'd see in recruiting, we've seen on the field."
- A Netflix documentary on dinosaurs reminded Day that having half his roster be new is part of the new age of college football, and survival is about adapting to that new age. "If you want to feel insignificant, watch that. ... Some dinosaurs figured out how to adapt, and some die."
- Ohio State keeps experimenting with offensive line combinations, Day said. "We're moving guys around. We're seeing some guys do some good things. Ian Moore has done some really good things." Day listed Moore alongside Gabe VanSickle, Carter Lowe and Jake Cook as guys who need to step up this offseason.
- Offensive guard Joshua Padilla is out for the spring, Ryan Day said.
- On Jay Timmons: "Competitive, got his hands on another ball today. ... You can tell he's prepared when he steps on the field. ... Gritty. And productive. Keeps playing like that, he's gonna find himself on the field."

Tiger Woods had hydrocodone pills in pants after DUI rollover crash in Florida, police say
Police found two hydrocodone pills on golf legend Tiger Woods after the rollover crash last week in Florida that led to his latest arrest for driving under the influence, according to an affidavit released Tuesday.Woods, who said the two-car crash happened after he looked down at his phone, had “bloodshot and glassy eyes,” “extremely dilated pupils,” and was “sweating profusely” as he sat in another vehicle that had its air-conditioning on when cops arrived, the affidavit says.
“Woods movement was lethargic and slow,” a Martin County Sheriff’s deputy wrote in the affidavit. “Woods had hiccups during the entire investigation.”
Tiger Woods says he’ll seek treatment after pleading not guilty to DUI
Tiger Woods said Tuesday he is stepping away to seek treatment, four days after his vehicle crashed in Florida and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He will miss the Masters for the second straight year.“This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” Woods said in social media posts.
Woods pleaded not guilty in his driving under the influence case in Florida on Tuesday, hours after a sheriff’s report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side.
The online court docket for Martin County showed Woods entered a written plea of not guilty and planned to waive his April 23 arraignment hearing.
It’s the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando, he took a leave of absence to work on being a better person. That lasted four months and he returned at the Masters.
