Judge tosses Lawsuit against Brady & Patriots..

[DarrylS]

Perhaps this is his constitutional right or displays the need for tort reform, without regard some crazed fan from Penn filed a three page handwritten motion(complete with spelling errors) in January to sue Brady and the Patriots for 25 Million and to stop them from playing in SB 49.... yesterday a Judge threw it out.

Guess the fan did not know how to fast track his motion..

Would have liked to have read the actual motion, but not able to find it.. the crazy train stopped at the station. the tweets bring a smile.

A federal judge today dismissed a motion from a fan who filed an injunction Jan. 26 to stop the Patriots from playing in Super Bowl XLIX.

LOL. My favorite part:

Bob McGovern's tweet reads:

Also from this motion (which is pure gold): Robert Kraft has fooled us into "believing his version of macaroni and cheese" is best.

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese IS the best, my friend!!! I know it has nothing to do with the Patriots' Robert Kraft, but I will not allow Kraft Mac & Cheese to be slurred!!!!

Drat. Really wanted this one to go to court.

There are some really crazy people out there but what's crazier is people who have successfully sued and won for cases like 80 year old woman accidentally spilling hot coffee on herself. Wtf is wrong with this country.

What are your guesses? Colts, Broncos, Seahawks, or Jets fan?

Definitely Colts, not a doubt in my mind.

There's something wrong when people can file frivolous lawsuits like this (the ones brought by a former Rams player and a Jets fan in 2008 also come to mind) while Kraft, who actually has an argument that he and his team have been treated unfairly, has no legal options.

LMAO. That is all.

So I looked up the guy who filed it. It appears he is a "guest" of the state of PA at the Benner Township Correctional Facility.

This isn't his first lawsuit, he also sued a WWE diva - also in handwritten form - for... well...

I wish people would stop referencing that case as if she got paid a ton of money for ruined dry cleaning.

McDonald's was negligent, and the woman only sought $20k for her medical expenses.

Thank goodness, I can finally sleep easy tonight knowing this lawsuit isn't looming over the team anymore!

 

[Wheelman]

The fan, from Pennsylvania, also wanted $25 million.

Probably a squeeler fan who still thinks we robbed them of titles.

Because people don't know the facts of that case because slimeball corporations and insurance companies distort them as part of PR campaigns.

The classic one is the old lady (Stella Liebeck) who spilled coffee on her lap and sued McDonalds. What most people don't realize is Mc D's coffee was excessively hot, they were using cheap crappy cups, and the poor old lady suffered 3rd degree lap burns and required skin grafting. The final verdict was reduced by the trial judge to about $640k and it settled for an undisclosed amount during the appeals process.

Don't laugh, this is probably going to be the next NFL commissioner. Him or the guy who filed the lawsuit.

Looks like you beat me to it.

I'm a trial lawyer. I can't tell you how many times during jury selection on a case where I represent a widow, orphan, or some poor guy with a lifelong disability, I get some prospective juror asshat who has to bring up the McDonalds coffee case.

Actually she used the McDonald's drive thru but had an old pick-up with no drink holders or any place to put the coffee. So yeah, she put the coffee between her legs and when she took off the compression of her legs popped the lid off.

Scalding coffee and bad choices cause pain.

Thanks Fixit, though I doubt that this will end the misrepresenting of this case. Those refusals, and the fact that others had complained about the temp of the coffee, are what pissed the jury off and McD's deserved the judgment it received.

Please, that's completely frivolous. 180 degrees is a very typical temperature. It's supposed to be brewed 195-205 so if course fresh coffee is hot. The extent of her injury does not somehow make McDonalds responsible. She could have tripped over the step, hit her head and died and it would not have been negligent step making simply because the injury sounds bad. I'm sure some people think it would, but FFS, coffee is hot, everybody knows it. There's absolutely no difference why McDonald's should be any more responsible than Lowes is for selling a knife to someone who cuts themselves. Life has some inherent dangers, the world isn't responsible for holding everyone's hands. People need to act like adults.

Oooookay. I'm still going with "spilled coffee means new pants = my fault" and "spilled coffee means skin grafts = corporate negligence."
