(I know, usually that phrase applies to patents and copyrights, but still.) Has anyone started the tumblr page on this yet? Other players dropped to a knee on the field before him. Wouldn't that invalidate the trademark? I don't care that he is a Christian (or not). Or that he likes to put it on display. But here he has done something else, using trademark laws to 'protect' speech. Almost makes me wish Stevie draws up an awesome mocking Tebow thing next time we play them. (And I hope he is in a position to do so, even more importantly!) kj
HOUSE Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Geez, does anybody care about playing football anymore? Everybody has a gig,,,,,,,

There's a difference between being polite and providing good service, and being so over the top that it's nauseating.
Ramius Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 So what now? Any QB completing less than 40% of his passes now must pay tebow royalties?

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I'm glad all the responses have been in good fun… so far. Not to jinx things but I don't expect that to last.

I stopped going to Chickfila because they charge $5 for a chicken sandwich. Is that to compensate for the high price of the pickle juice that they soak their chicken in?
