Chicago Bears<\/a> quarterback Caleb Williams is trying to take care of a few business ideas during the offseason, and he recently got into a run-in with Skip Bayless.<\/p>\n

Williams earned the nickname “Iceman” for his heroics late in the regular season and playoffs when he made a few miracle passes late in the fourth quarter. He filed paperwork to trademark<\/a> the name “Iceman” that would help the quarterback to sell merchandise related to the term and other logos.<\/p>\n

Bayless took issue with Williams trying to trademark “Iceman” because that nickname belonged to former NBA player George Gervin, who spent time with the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m a Caleb Williams fan,” Bayless posted on X. “But I was a much bigger Iceman Gervin fan, and I\u2019m offended Caleb and Co. are trying to steal George\u2019s all-time great nickname. I unleash on today\u2019s Arena Gridiron 2:30 E.”<\/p>\n

“Idc about where your fandom stands,” Williams posted on X. “I was trying give you and everyone else the benefit of the doubt. About knowing business and being smart about it. But I guess not. Foolish of me! Also words matter Skip Bayless. \u201cSteal\u201d Enjoy that podcast.”<\/p>\n

Williams sent a screenshot with the definition of “steal”: To take the property of another wrongfully and
\nespecially as a habitual or regular practice.<\/p>\n
