Default Seriously? - Court to hear old fan lawsuit over "Spygate"

Court To Hear Fan Lawsuit Over Patriots' 'Spygate' - cbs3.com

Quote:
A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit arising from the New England Patriots' videotaping of New York Jets coaches.

The suit was filed by a Jets season ticket holder who also is an attorney.
I can't help but laugh at the retardedness of this... what Jets fan has EVER seen an honest game?

The case was dismissed in the District Court. The plaintiffs (the fan-attorneys) appealed to the Appeals Court. So the Appeals Court has to "hear" arguments at least. Strong possibility they'll affirm the lower court decision. It would be nice if they order attorney fees against the plaintiffs as well.

But this is just routine on appeal. Got to give the parties a chance to at least state their basis for appeal.

From what I remember about hearing about these guys, they have a history of frivolous lawsuits like this. I agree that the appeals court will most likely affirm the lower court's decision to dismiss the case.

It'd be nice if the 'real' story was their frivolous lawsuits instead of the likely chatter that will come from their continued suit--although I expect the mediots to keep it to a somewhat minimum. That said, I'm sure it'll show up on a certain sports news network, and be featured in a certain city's newspapers too.

One more reason to beat their ass#s even harder next year.

At least they're giving Weekly World News a storyline.

After Florio hears about this and posts a few paragraphs about this non-story, I'll put the over/under at 150 comments on PFT.

The story was posted on PFT at 8:46 PM. Right now, it's up to 33 comments. I think it will crack 100, but 150 is pushing it.
