Fatman Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 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.

fingfootball Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Reminds me of the old lady that sued because she spilled hot coffee on herself. He figures if he gets .05% of that law suit he'll make alot of free money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I hope he gets tagged for bringing a frivolous lawsuit and has to pay the court fees. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Wow, this is getting really stupid. And Goodell didn't help matters by destroying those tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine if this clown won this? A ton of people would be coming out of the woodwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I honestly believe that if the tapes were available to be seen, we'd all be able to see how ludicrous this all is. They showed several minutes of the one that was confiscated 7 minutes into the Jest game. It was pretty useless as it stood. It would really have put all this to bed.

Big Country Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I may sue cause I bet the other way, and if the Pats hadn't cheated I would have won my bet...... that will be the next lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 This is a big old can of worms that isn't just going to go away. If I was a player that missed out on my one chance to win a Super Bowl and all this tape stuff is true, I would be mighty pissed. Being on a winning Super Bowl team changes your life.

Yeah, but would you get that joy if you got your "SuperBowl ring" via court decision or forefeiture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Then why were they destroyed? Hellifiknow, maybe you should ask Roger Goodell since it was his decision. Conspiracy theories abound, pick one and run with it. There's no way to undestroy it though, so how are you ever going to be satisfied?

No. I really don't think that is possible but they could all get their trip to Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's get a class action suit together with all the other degenerate gamblers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 What gets me is that Kraft by all accounts is supposed to be a great owner and a stand up good guy in the league but his name is getting dragged through the mud along with everyone else. Makes me wonder how long he will take his own character assassination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking for satisfaction, but even a Pats fan would have to admit it's a bit curious about the tapes' destruction, don'tcha think?

WaterMan Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The Patriots are going to have to owe so much money, they won't be able to afford Moss. And then for the rest of his career, he's going to wish that some player would join the NFL who was actually good enough to hit him in stride on a bomb.
