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.”

Saw him gives a thanks to Buddy Ryan today. He's credited Ryan with telling him to straighten up. You had to be acting ridiculous to get cut from a football team in the 80's and 90's

WNBA's Connecticut Sun set to relocate to Houston following $300 million sale, per reports
The Fertitta family has agreed to a deal to purchase the Connecticut Sun for a record-breaking $300 million and move the WNBA franchise to Houston, according to reports from Paper City Magazine and ESPN. A sale would be subject to approval by the WNBA's Board of Governors, and it was not official as of Friday evening.If the deal is approved, the Sun would reportedly play the 2026 season in Connecticut before moving to Houston in 2027. The team is expected to play at the Toyota Center, home of the NBA's Houston Rockets, and be renamed the Houston Comets, taking on the name of the original WNBA franchise in the city, which existed from 1997 until 2008. The original Comets, led by Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson won the league's first four championships and were the first WNBA dynasty.

The last time a WNBA team was sold was in 2021, when Larry Gottesdiener led a group that bought the Atlanta Dream for under $10 million.
Just sayin': You're telling me that in just 5 years the value of an WNBA went from under $10M to $300M...
