US court tosses fan lawsuit over Patriots' filming - Boston.com

The third circuit affirmed the original decision. Been a good couple of days for the pats - specter gets kicked out and now this.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

- Steelers S Troy Polamalu on Tom Brady

Why yes, yes it has been a couple good days.

I don't know if that classifies as a good day. That's like saying it was a good day today because Massachusetts didn't sink into the ocean. Sure, we're happy the lawsuit got dismissed, but did anyone really think they had a leg to stand on in the first place? It would have been an incredibly sad day if it had gone through, but now it's just status quo.

Bummer. I WANTED it to go thru so that the NFL lawyers would have had to use the "everyone did it" and "It was simply a rule violation with no game impact" defenses. A missed opportunity.

Agreed. I was really hoping this would go to trial.

Imagine Rexie's press conferences...

Yes, they would have been able to depose, under oath, every Coach in the NFL, regarding the practice. The problem is that it still wouldn't have changed the haters' minds. So, all in all, better that it just died.

I second or third or fourth that. I would also have loved to seen the lawyer get censured or whatever a similar reprimanding is, what a complete waste of time.

But like one of the comments said, how are you going to have a trial anyway when Herr Goodell burned all the evidence?

Also I think if they let this through, it would have opened the floodgates - people would file suits because they feel a team wasn't competitive enough, etc. The lawyers would have had field days.

Good riddance to both; this stupid idea and Arlen Specter as an elected representative and lawmaker.

Applause and flush.........

It was never going to go to trial. These guys have a ton of times on their hands since this isn't the first frivolous lawsuit they have ever brought. How empty your life must be to waste time and energy on such uselessness. No spending your free time posting on a Patriots message board, now that is productive use of your free time.
