A combination of professional success, vapid personality, and a caddish past makes Tom Brady pretty damn unlikable to anyone who isn’t a fan of the New England Patriots. But this week, he found a new way to annoy people by filing a trademark application on his alleged nickname, “Tom Terrific”.

Now everybody who cares about sports—as opposed to just Boston sports—knows that the nickname “Tom Terrific” belongs to three-time Cy Young Award winner and Hall of Famer Tom Seaver of the New York Mets. Seaver won 311 games in his twenty-year career, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot with 98.8% of the vote, a record at the time. He was the first player to have his number retired by the Mets and is one of two players in the Hall of Fame as a Met.

It takes a lot for me, a diehard Phillies fan, to side with the Mets. But this nickname-squatting is unacceptable. Brady could not beat New York in the Super Bowl, and he shouldn’t be allowed to steal the moniker of one of the city’s greatest professional athletes.
