Pats Get Sued for $100 Million for Winning 2002 Super Bowl

The Associated Press is reporting that former St. Louis Rams player Willie Gary “and others” are suing the New England Patriots in U.S. District Court in New Orleans for $100 million dollars. The suit reportedly names Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick. Note: The Odds and Sods is not suggesting the identity of one of the aforementioned others by displaying the aforementioned photo. Nor are we wink-winking or nudge-nudging.

From an amateur legal analysis, the plantiffs would have to prove that the Patriots cheated without documented evidence. They would then have to prove that said cheating affected the game outcome. And, they would then have to justify why said cheating which led to said outcome entitles them to $100 million in compensation. Good luck with that.

Thank you, Arlen Specter!
