Wasn't the Mighty Ducks named after a trademark character.
The play by play guy called him Wile E. Coyote after the cartoon character.
Because he didn't know what the Coyote's name is.
He should know that a team cannot name a mascot after a trademarked character. He's the guy on ESPN. He should know.
I'm done, this got old 10 hours ago.
I will not be replying anymore in this thread.

Yes, but the team was owned by Disney when they were named.
So will the ejection show up in the boxscore?
How exactly DOES a ref indicate an exclamation point with hand signs?![]()
Anyone remember that the Cowboy's mascot got booted last year.
Nice job, coyote. This coyote does get a little close to the action. Earlier this year he almost took out Jason Kidd's knees during a skit.
But I want Reggie to come in here and give his take on what happened. I never saw you go on the court. What's up?
the coyote crew should have had his back
Tim Duncan's reaction to the Coyote getting ejected is HILARIOUS. Look for it on video in the morning on spurs.com or SpursZONE.com in the postgame interviews.
i can't wait![]()
Question: Will the Coyote recieve a one game suspension and fine?
Watch the postgame video that's on the front page of spurs.com with Horry/Tony/Tim reaction to the coyote being thrown out.
But Blaze???!!!! How could they have used a trademarked name??? All TV people should know the names of all 423 Pokemon, the 27 Power Rangers, the 216 Looney Tunes, and the 7 dwarfs!!!
And the T-Wolves should sue Kersey for calling the Coyote a "wolf". That's obviously their TM!
Apparently, I was arguing with Dopey in this thread.![]()
@ Duncan....that's was crazy.

It cracks me up that it was Jess Kersey. If you called me up and said "Aggie Hoopsfan, the Coyote got tossed by a ref tonight", and asked me to guess who it was, Jess Kersey would have been my first guess.
You go by the name "Aggie Hoopsfan" outside of the internet?
Maybe we should send this picture to Jess Kersey.

Spurs notebook: Official doesn't feel any love for Coyote

The Coyote, the Spurs' furry and supposedly lovable mascot, was ejected after Wednesday's third quarter.
"That," Tim Duncan said, "is the greatest thing I've ever heard."
After Wally Szczerbiak cracked Spurs guard Beno Udrih with a hard foul at the Spurs' basket, the Coyote pretended like he was going to run at the Minnesota guard. It was a skit the mascot has used frequently, but one veteran official Jess Kersey apparently didn't find too funny.
Kersey, who didn't like how close the Coyote was to the court, walked over to the scorer's table and told Don Costante, the team's director of game operations and promotions he was ejecting the mascot.
"I want the wolf out of here!" Kersey said. "He's gone! Now!"
The Coyote never returned.
It's unclear whether the Coyote will be subjected to the $1,000 fine, or whether he even has a bank account.
"You can't get mad at the Coyote for doing that," Spurs forward Robert Horry said. "He was just trying to get the crowd hyped.
"That was another bad call."
****

the vanilla ice number (ice ice baby) he did with the silver dancers wearing the silver jeanie pants was great - now that is is VERY GAY![]()
The announcers on ESPN said that the Bulls mascot got tossed once.
If you go to the game tonight make up this sign
