SEATTLE (105.3 The Fan) - Do Your Job.
The New England Patriots really did receive trademark rights for that common arrangement of words back in February 2014, despite the fact that fathers have been telling sons that exact same thing since the beginning of time.
It's a marketing game for the patriots, of course; a way to sell T-shirts and coffee mugs. And nobody would much care except for the fact the Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski Has called attention to the presence of the slogan attached to a wall inside the Dallas Cowboys posh new headquarters address the Star at Frisco.
Again never mind got a quick Google search demonstrates that everybody from the Boston Bruins to the New Orleans Saints to the two parties trying to control The United States government have used the elementary phrase.
There is something sexy about the patriots accusing the Cowboys of stealing. (There is something ironic about it, too, but that's a story for another day.)
So Bill Belichick "invented" "Do Your Job" and Gronkowski is protective of that? That is ironic to because if Gronkowski was actually "doing his job" he wouldn't be concerning himself with copyright issues.
But, fine, let's go with it. The Cowboys are technically not allowed to use "Do Your Job."
So may I post an alteration to the lettering on the wall inside The Star?
"Do Y'ALL'S Job" is how it should read. And, yeah, I've already applied for a trademark on the Texas-twanged phrase, so don't even think about trying to steal it.
