"Word trickles out of Jets practice that Tim Tebow is now, finally, the legal owner of the term "Tebowing." This doesn't mean you or I can't continue to talk about or write about Tebow. It just means we can't profit off of it. (What does this mean for ESPN, where Tebow=Profit?)

According to ESPN's Jane McManus, Tebow doesn't plan to make any money off his "Tebowing" trademark, since it's a prayer and all. But he wanted more control over it, to keep others from profiting."

Was his family name Americanized from the French Thibaut?

The one that puzzles me is Favre, pronounced Farv. How is the r sound in front of the v? Favre is a pretty common name in Louisiana and I assume Mississippi, pronounced Fahv, silent re.

NP, I lived in Atlanta when Favre was a rookie there, and his name was pronounced Fahv with a whispered "re/ruh". He rarely played in Atlanta as I recall, and when he showed up in Green Bay the announcers called him Farv.
