Gainzo Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Who is this guy? Here is an article from the Cincinnati Enquirer. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080215/NEWS0103/302150021 Two Northern Kentucky lawyers, a Cincinnati ticket broker and a former University of Kentucky football player have filed a lawsuit accusing the New England Patriots of cheating in the 2002 Super Bowl and asking for refunds. The Patriots and Coach Bill Belichick illegally videotaped a St. Louis Rams walk-though before the game to gain an unfair advantage, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, the host city of the game. The Patriots upset the Rams 20 to 17 on a last-second field goal. The Patriots and the NFL could not immediately be reached for comment. Through the lawsuit, Kevin Hacker who also attended the Super Bowl, asked the federal court to grant 72,922 people who attended the game a full refund. At a face value of $400 per ticket, that would mean the NFL would have to return $29,168,800. Willie Gary, who played on the Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Gary was a better player he could be earning NFL money and the Rams may have won the Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 this is just getting out of control...what the hell is next players suing referees for blown calls or fans suing coaches for being morons.... but I guess this is the world we live in, pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can file a lawsuit nowadays. I googled Willie Gary and couldn't find out how many NFL games he actually played. It's also funny that a ticket broker is part of this farcical lawsuit.

Gainzo Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Why google for his bio, just go nfl.com. Thanks. I didn't realize that nfl.com would list a player like him. He played 6 games in the NFL (all in 2001) and amassed a whopping 6 tackles. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he wasn't even activated for the Super Bowl.

Iowa Jetfan Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Wow, a hundred million dollars. It sounds to me like they are just hoping the Patriots will settle for a much smaller sum, like a few million bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Or maybe he can take your Objective Posting class. Currently we have a waiting list of 50 posters (all Patriot fans). So we aren't taking anymore reservations now. Once you guys admit the Patriots are cheaters, we will have room for more students. Check back in 2019. Thanks.

As is, the biggest threads are usually Patriots related. The daily pity fests you all have would quickly die out and then you would be stuck with the always riveting why we are better then the crappy Phins and Jills threads.

drago Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Maybe if Gary was a better player he could be earning NFL money and the Rams may have won the Superbowl. It will be the guys that were not the stars of that Rams team seeking compensation, those are the guys that had the most to lose. If any of these guys go into coaching, or try to work in management with a football team, saying they are a Super Bowl Champion, is a lot different than an NFC Champion. If the tapes are true, the Pats will lose a lot of money, and on more than a few occassions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
