For the non-clickers: PAT-ENTLY SMUG & SNOOTY COCKY NEW ENGLAND TEMPTS FATE WITH '19-0' TRADEMARK By CHUCK BENNETT February 1, 2008 -- The Patriots are suffering from premature exhilaration. The arrogant New England team has already applied for trademarks on "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season." Three days before they beat the San Diego Chargers, and more than two weeks before Super Bowl XLII, the team egotistically filed paperwork with the US Patent and Trademark Office to cash in on sales of T-shirts, caps, posters and all kinds of Pats paraphernalia. But the Pats have the wrong number. The Post, ever confident that Eli Manning and company will squash the Pats on Sunday, spent $375 for its own trademark application yesterday - on "18-1." Our application, No. 77385477, is pending. And Bill Belichick and his bozos better wait a minuteman before counting their royalties. "If the team gets wind of this and thinks, 'Maybe we jinxed ourselves,' well, the power of the human mind is incalculable, and if they begin thinking that, they will lose," warned Jordana Sands, a celebrity psychic from Manhattan. Adding to the jinx, the official online NFL Shop has already started selling "19-0 Perfect Season" Super Bowl XLII championship tees and sweatshirts. "I come from a town that's incredibly superstitious and there is a phrase, 'You don't want to disturb the gambling gods,' and there is a segment of the population that thinks they are messing with the gambling gods," said veteran Las Vegas oddsmaker Tony Sinisi. As for the Giants, they are taking everything in stride. "My reaction is this, our entire organization, from the Mara and Tisch families down, is focused on one thing: winning one game," said Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon. The Post had no luck contacting David Johanson, the attorney who applied for the New England trademarks on Jan. 17. The woman who answered his telephone yelled, "We can't talk about this!" and hung up. Several hours later, Pats spokesman Stacey James called to say the trademark filing was to protect profits, and is not a pre-emptive writing of history. "These are defensive tactics taken so people can't brand with our logo," he said. The "19-0" trademark has not yet been approved. And all James had to say about his team's patent-office prophecy was: "I am confident that we are 18-0 and we play on Sunday." For many sports watchers, the Pats' trademark application harked back to Pat Riley's days as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. In 1989, he trademarked the phrase "three-peat" in hopes of cashing in on bringing his team to a third consecutive championship. His team failed, but ultimately Riley hit a royalties windfall anyway when the Chicago Bulls hit the "three-peat" in 1993. |

Hmmm. Everyone has always warned me about "copyright infringement." Is that not a concern here? |

We're not real concerned about rules... or any other behavior deemed appropriate for society, for that matter... around here. |

I heard about this today. It's one thing to be confident and proud of yourselves after being undefeated during an entire season, but this shit is just getting annoying. They're cocky assholes and I hope we hand their asses to them. I hope their "parade" on Tuesday is after our victory parade on Monday. |
