It may not be dying, but is it even really alive?

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?

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.”

Sometimes we played it with teams and a line down the middle. We also played a version that was just a free for all anywhere on a full basketball court.

Yes, particularly North Dakota. At the end of the day, they did what they were told.

I look forward to seeing his appeal to return for the 2027 season.

Interesting transfer destination

South Carolina Gamecocks EJ Walker, Elijah Strong and Eli Ellis have been reported to be entering the transfer portal. Right now the Gamecocks have ZERO players that played in more than 40% of the team's minutes this season projected as returning. From a 13-19 team. OSU decommit Marcus Johnson, who signed with South Carolina last fall, had better bring an extra pair of shoes because he's going to be used a lot on that team. The transfer portal is just getting warmed up ...

I am......underwhelmed.

I still can't believe that actually happened.

Webber-esque in it's breathtaking stupidity.

We all carry responsibility for our behavior but I wonder if this isn't a good opportunity to consider what happens when sports personalities exit the spotlight and move on to a new life after competing.

Kyle Snyder and other sports personalities live under the pressure of social expectations. One day, no matter how much you have excelled, another will rise to claim the lofty heights you once held. We watched Jack Nicklaus walk down that mountain with incredible grace and find business success in golf. Gary Player did as well. Tiger Woods has not handled fame or its aftermath with anything resembling that grace, as we see again in his drunk driving accident last week. Kirk Barton takes the absence of grace to an extreme, from what I read.

Reading about Snyder's embarrassment, makes me wonder how hard it must be to live up to heroic expectations of fans when playing days end and the cheers fade away. It must be so hard to live with the constant aches and pains that accumulate during decades of sports trauma and never fully heal...and to live with the pain medications, which bring only temporary relief and the likelihood of addiction and behavioral change.

As a child athlete (thanks Maize Rd Elementary/City of Columbus Recreation Dept), I participated in Junior Olympic trials. In between trial heats, I sat beside Jesse Owens in Ohio Stadium, after I saw him sitting alone and was drawn to him. I did not know he was until Jesse Owens was greeted by someone else. When he picked me up, my father told me that he couldn't have been Jesse Owens and told me to avoid any stranger who would let me sit with him. Back then, I did not understand why.

The second year, I sat with him again and Owens stayed long enough to greet my father. I remember a lot from those days half a century ago. He was kind, patient, and positive. I still cup my hands and land on my heels when running, as he showed me. But what I remember most clearly is the sadness that I saw in his eyes behind that generous and almost regal nature.

I wonder if fans really understand the burden that athletes can carry when they leave the field forever. The bright lights of national and international recognition fade away and often do not leave them with material wealth. Even those who have earned a lot of money often experience financial challenges, made worse by the constant demands of family, friends, and "charities" asking for a taste.

Anyone who lives in or near the spotlight, with its awards and honors, must one day prepare for a much quieter life that follows. For the anonymity of daily life that comes when eyes no longer light up in recognition. The pain of this transition may be especially high when an athlete's entire sense of self-worth derives from athletic skills.

One of the things that has most impressed me about Ryan Day is the incorporation of financial and psychological life skills, that prepare athletes for life, into the education of student athletes in that program. I hope that the other sports now incorporate similar programs so that sports stars will be equipped to open the right doors when the end of a sports career nears.
