Bart Scott couldn't wait to trademark his catchy catch phrase.

The Jets' loquacious linebacker told ESPN on Friday he has trademarked, ''Can't Wait!'' after the phrase that punctuated a postgame rant following New York's 28-21 playoff victory over the New England Patriots became an Internet sensation.

Scott said during an interview in Orlando, Fla., that the phrase ''took on a life of its own'' and that once he heard people wanted to feature it on T-shirts, ''if anybody is going to benefit off 'Can't Wait!' it should be me.''

Scott, an avid pro wrestling fan, also participated in a TNA Wrestling event last week. He helped Hulk Hogan, his idol, during a performance that was taped last week in Fayetteville, N.C., and aired Thursday night.
