Boomer Esiason Rips Tom Brady For Trying To Trademark Tom Seaver’s Nickname

Boomer Esiason is really upset at Tom Brady.

Last week, it was reported that Brayd had recently filed to new trademark requests for the nickname, “Tom Terrific” for his company, TEB Capital Management Inc.

The purpose of this request was to have “Tom Terrific” trading cards, posters and fan apparel.

This didn’t sit well with Tom Seaver fans because they knew that nickname belonged to him.

WFAN’s Boomer Esiason is one of those people and he does not appreciate the New England Patriots quarterback “sleazy” attempt to take that name.

“I love Tom Seaver. You know that. I’ve been advocating for a Seaver statue forever, since Citi Field opened,” Esiason said Monday on WFAN’s “Boomer and Gio” radio show. “Craig Carton, my former partner, gave me a beautiful Tom Seaver statue for my birthday that my man Marc Mellon did for me. It’s beautiful, and it sits on my desk, and I have a reminder of Tom Terrific and who he was when he was at the top of his game for the New York Mets. And now, lo and behold, comes the greatest quarterback of all time trying to trademark the name ‘Tom Terrific.’ “When you’ve got so much goddamned money, you can do whatever you want, and this is now what Tom Brady wants to take: ‘Tom Terrific’ as his nickname. Maybe in New England they call him that, I guess. But you know what? We’ve been calling Tom Seaver ‘Tom Terrific’ forever, for as long as I can remember, for 50 years. That’s who ‘Tom Terrific’ has always been.”

“I am disgusted, and I’m really surprised, and I’m really, I don’t know, it just feels sleazy to me, you know?,” Esiason said.

There are very few things that I get wrapped up in. I got wrapped up in this.

There’s nothing I can do about it. All I can do is talk about it and hopefully shame him into not going after it and recognizing a true great of another sport that had the name and was given the name well before he was ever given the name.

The Met fan in me is basically really perturbed by it. It just annoys me because it takes me back to my childhood, and I don’t like people messing with my childhood.

All that anger over a nickname.
