Former Ram seeks compensation for Super Bowl loss


NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A lawsuit filed Friday by a former St. Louis Rams player and others seeks millions of dollars in damages from the alleged taping of Rams practices by the New England Patriots before the 2002 Super Bowl.

The Patriots won the game 20-17 in the Superdome.

The $100 million suit, filed on behalf of former Rams player Willie Gary in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, names the Patriots, team owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick.

Hmmm... Howzabout all remaining German veterans of WWII sue the Allies for cheating, to wit: Ultra was broken and the Allies didn't let on?

Is the USA a lawsuit-happy country or what!

IMO it certainly seems that way to others outside of the US.
(Proverbly also to many in the US as well.)

Sue em by gosh! They did the same to the JETS. A pattern developing here?

Speaking of sueing, Will Smith, who was quoted by some magazine, saying that Hitler was this great guy, has just won his lawsuit against them.
He plans on sharing the amount with charities.
Apparently the magazine admitted it was out of context, and Smith never said that.

Lottery suits! The legal profession has become nothing more than than a glorified slot machine.

With over one million lawyers, and the most lawyers per capita it's no surprise.

See lawyer jokes, attorney jokes, lawyer humor, stupid lawyers, frivolous lawsuits, lawsuit reform, tort reform, frivolous litigation, lawyers and lawsuits for some interesting stuff.

I've recently seen pics of Will with Tom Cruise. I dunno if Will has embraced L. Ron Hubbard's made up religion or not but Tom is barking mad...and Will's hanging with him. Weirdos to a man.

Do you want to do a free personality test Geek?

Yeah, that Tommy boy is a freak.

BTW, Hubbard made it a religion because Churches and Religions are Tax-Exempted, so his "religion" didn't have to pay any tax.

America is the most litigious country in the world! This article just proves it. Used to be, when you had a problem, both parties would work out some sort of deal palatable to both, now though, we just look at someone wrong and they sue for harrassment.

I think lawsuits are like a lazy man's (woman's) way of winning the lottery. Our country used to be known for it's puritan work ethic, and now we try to get money for nothing.

I'm embarrassed by this guy.
