thejetsaddict Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Best part is the Heisman poses this guys does with the snow chunk after he has entered the "pain and anguish" stage of his recovery. NY Jets Star Sued for Attacking Fan ... with Snowball 12/20/2010 6:30 AM PST by TMZ Staff NY Jets defensive superstar Shaun Ellis must have one hell of an arm -- because dude was just sued for firing a snowball at a Seattle Seahawks fan who claims the icy attack caused him physical and emotional pain. The infamous snowball incident (see video below) went down in 2008 -- after the Jets lost to the Seahawks ... and were subsequently eliminated from the playoffs. According to the lawsuit, Ellis was bitter about the defeat ... and as he walked off the field, he "stopped, picked up a large block or chunk or packed snow ... and threw it into the crowd" ... striking a man named Robert Larsen. In the suit, Larsen -- a Seahawks season ticket holder -- claims he had been waving a pro-Seahawks sign ... which made him a perfect snowball target. Larsen claims Ellis said the snowball toss was "all in fun" -- but Larsen says he was seriously messed up in the incident ... and has suffered physical injury, humiliation, mental distress, pain and wage loss. No word on how much cash Larsen is looking to rake in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 what a greedy crybaby douche. I take accident reports wher the cars are barely scratched and everyone's fine until someone decides there's a buck to be made and suddenly they need an ambulance. pisses me off.

thejetsaddict Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 he lost money because of this? Not yet but lets see what the court says. I cant see him winning much after the show and dance he put on with the snowball in his hands after he got hit. It sure didnt look like he was hurt in any way.

slats Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hopefully the judge takes one look at this video and throws the case right out, right after making Robert Larsen pay Ellis' legal fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Seattle was hurling snowballs at the Jets as they were leaving the field. I thought what Ellis did was hilarious. Seattle sucks and so does everyone that live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hopefully the judge takes one look at this video and throws the case right out, right after making Robert Larsen pay Ellis' legal fees. Unfortunately, I doubt he can. Damages are a jury question. Judge can only boot a case if there is no set of facts under which Plaintiff is able to recover under the law. The video shows that a snowball hit the guy and that Ellis threw it. No way Ellis can win summary judgment. The standard for SJ is extraordinarily high.

No way Ellis can win summary judgment. The standard for SJ is extraordinarily high. You think he's going to meet the threshold? I don't know about Seattle, but in NY he'd have to prove a serious/permanent injury. Seems hard to believe that if he's the guy in the corner with the #1 jersey that he can show serious injury. I guess the guy could have an MRI that says anything, but seems unlikely anything serious came from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lost wages claim can probably survive - I'm sure he missed a day or two or work due to a hangover after the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awful. Pretty city, very eclectic and eccentric but sh*t weather all year round and everyone there is a ******* weirdo. The only thing that was cool is there are tons of Asians there...and I love Asians. Too bad I followed some crazy bitch out there and couldnt take advantage of it.
