a trademark for the actual number 8?

why?
how?

 

[DonMan]

here's a good article spelling out the issue.

Jackson has applied for trademarks on multiple usages of the number eight, including "Era 8 by Lamar Jackson," "Era 8," "You 8 yet?"
...
Aikman's attempt to use "EIGHT" on apparel and bags would be "likely to cause confusion, or cause mistake, or to deceive" the purchasing public as to whether they're buying products from Jackson or Aikman's company

This looks frivolous to me -
Jackson has applied for trademarks of phrases that include the number 8.
Aikman is applying for trademarks that use the single all-capitals word EIGHT.

No reasonable person would be inclined to confuse one for the other.

I was kinda thinking Xanax or one of its cousins.

Had a teammate die, wouldn’t be odd to take a medication for the first time immediately afterward.

For sure still a bad look.

idiot could have called uber or a teammate.

Neither should get trademarks anyway. This is like Lebron trying to trademark Taco Tuesday

Yep.

Would’ve saved him a lot of money.

No offense to Aikman, but nobody under 50 is buying something EIGHT because of him.

Depends. He’s the last Cowboy QB to win a Super Bowl. That alone makes him marketable to a niche group that’s quite sizable.

K. But nobody is marketing Roger Staubach anymore and that’s the discussion.

I could not believe it when I heard about that trademark dispute. How is that even remotely something a player should be able to trademark?

You can trademark almost anything. You’d be surprised

I think I'm going to trademark the word "the" or maybe the letter "t"

Dead cap hit (obviously planned for I assume) will be $9M. Probably retires after 6/1 so it's split pretty much evenly over 2 years

 

[Iggloo]

I love Jarntt's obsession with Philadelphia Eagles dead cap hits. It is heartwarming stuff for me.

I see Danny Dimes is in midseason form? He is probably throwing this to Saquon.

He was saying this over the winter. He’s a funny dude. He pretty much told everybody that he wants to take a final season for like a rocking chair tour haha. Great Eagle. Biggest defensive play in Eagles history. He’s a guy who almost didn’t make it to his second contract. His perseverance made him a leader. Like Kelce, Graham and Fletcher Cox were great vets to have around. I think if there’s strengths and weaknesses to what rams do a big reason for Eagles success is the culture and those guys embody that. Let’s see if the new dudes can accept the torch and carry it as well as those dudes.
