Bleedin Green Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 While Fitztragic is undoubtedly destined to be a special kind of disaster for everything he touches, it is kind of a legit point. Minkah is just trying to rip off a name ole Ryan's been going by since Minkah was still in diapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most inept search on google returned nothing but Ryan until yesterday when this news hit. Any trademark attorney would have know that right off the bat. Hell, most of those searches probably point back to JN This would be like Aaron Rodgers trying to trademark A-Rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Many trademark decisions are very lame and suck. If you are blatantly trying to copy someone or something then they should apply but otherwise no imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just now, nycdan said: Yup, this is a blatant attempt at a rip off. There was a story that there was a McDonalds restaurant in some small town usa that was shut down name wise by the big company. The people that owned the establishment were names McDoanld, the premises looked nothing like a mcDs at all. The menu was not close. McDonald is a very common name why should anyone be able to totally restrict its use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course (what doesn't he plagiarize?) and yes, you'll have to stomach the useless Arsenio Hall. FWIW, the McDowell's on Queens Blvd is simply genius. And the little cameo by Mortimer and Randolph (Bellamy and Ameche) from Trading Places is priceless. "We're back in business" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Has there ever been a QB who can play like a hall of fame QB on his best days, and an UDFA QB from a division III school on his worst days? I'll answer that myself, it's Ryan FitzmagicPatrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disputed what listed in my example. Should Ryan fitzpatick be able to have 'Fitz' on a tshirt and not allow anyone else to use 'Fitz'? A common nickname.

I'll answer that myself, it's Ryan FitzmagicPatrick. As far as I can tell, he is one of only two QBs to ever throw 6 TDs in one game and 6 INTs in another game. The other. Peyton with 7 TDs once and 6 INTs once. Brett, Ben and Eli have all done 6 TDs and 5 INTs at some point. Peyton, Brett, Ben, Eli, Patrick. One of these things is not like the others.

Going back 10 years, Busch Gardens used to make me get rid of the straws for the kids juice boxes before they let us in.
