Patriots Still Pursuing Perfection
Despite Super Bowl loss, 18-1 football team wants "19-0" trademarks
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0421081pats1.html

APRIL 21--Three months after their bid for an undefeated season ended with a Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants, the New England Patriots are continuing to pursue trademarks on the phrases "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season," records show. While the team may have been expected to withdraw its applications after finishing at 18-1, a Patriots lawyer recently amended the original filings to correct a typographical error, a clear indication that the organization remains committed to securing the marks (perhaps Bill Belichick & Co. are anticipating perfection in the 2008 season). On January 17, days before facing the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship Game, the Patriots filed the trademark applications, which, if approved, would allow the club to place "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season" on a wide variety of toys, DVDs, clothing, sporting goods, and other knick knacks. As seen below, on April 11 the Patriots tweaked their original United States Patent and Trademark Office filings to correct a misspelling. The team wanted to make it clear that they seek to sell toy banks, not "toy bans."

Bengals Say No Thanks



How serious are the Cincinnati Bengals about not giving in to Chad Johnson's trade demands?


Johnson

Serious enough to swat away an offer from the Washington Redskins that could have netted the Bengals two first-round draft picks, team and league sources said.
The Redskins offered its first-round pick, No. 21 overall, and a conditional third-rounder in 2009 that could escalate to a first rounder if Johnson and the Redskins hit certain performance levels, the sources said.
It was not the first time the Redskins approached the Bengals about a deal, but it was the first significant proposal.
The Bengals have not only rejected the Redskins, but two other NFC East suitors -- the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles -- have been informed that there has been no change in the team's position that Johnson will not be traded.
The Bengals have noted to those suitors that Johnson has been the "second-highest paid receiver" in the NFL during the past three years, indignant about suggestions that Johnson also wants a new contract, the sources said.
Trading Johnson also would mean Cincinnati would take an $8 million salary-cap hit, but that amount could be split over the next two years. Additionally, as one owner who wished to remain anonymous told ESPN.com, "There's nothing wrong with dead money. It's cash already paid and it's cash back in your pocket that you don't have to spend, especially with the [high] amount of everyone's salary cap these days."

Scott, TM applications usually take close to a year to fully process, so it's really not that weird to get the ball set in motion.  I am curious to see them make another run at it again this year (I really think they will).

Cincy is stupid as heck to turn down that offer for Chad.  I would have taken that in an instant.

Freaking love the Jarrett/Smith thing.  Great stuff.

• Federal judge David Doty refused to reverse motion or recuse himself
  
• He ruled in February that Vick be allowed to keep bonus money already paid
  
• NFL had accused him of bias and requested that he vacate the ruling

Titans; Cowboys Agree on Pacman Trade
Wed Apr 23, 2008
 ESPN reports the Tennessee Titans have agreed in principle to trade suspended CB/KR Adam "Pacman" Jones to the Dallas Cowboys for a 4th round draft pick in 2008. The Tennessean adds there are also conditions attached to the trade related to Jones being reinstated by the NFL, and how much he plays for the Cowboys. If Jones is available or on injured reserve for 16 games in 2008, the Titans will also get a sixth-round pick from the Cowboys in 2009. Jones doesn't have to play in the games, he just can't be suspended. If the NFL doesn't reinstate Jones, the Titans will send a 2009 draft pick back to the Cowboys. Jones also reached a financial settlement with the Titans in which he must pay $500,000 to a charity chosen by the Titans some time in the next two years. He will receive a new contract from the Cowboys. Jones must pass a physical before the trade will be finalized.
