That's right folks the Patriots are getting sued for their 2002 20-17 victory over the Rams. Why the fuss? Apparently this is one of the numerous games that the Pat's taped their opponents practice. Is this case going to go anywhere? Do you think that the Pat's should be sued in the first place?

Why? Why does this stuff happen in sports? If they're bad enough so they have to tape their opponets practice to win, they really shouldn't be playing. Not that I care of course, I don't like sports:D

Except they're not bad, they're actually quite good in a sort of machinelike way. So it's more of a Sammy Sosa using steroids to be even better situation, rather than an Adam Piatt using steroids just to have a job one.

Wow I thought you were referring to the past one. Nice bait and switch there...

Using the exact title that caught my eye to this article. ;)

Anyway the lawsuit has been recently filed so it is current.

*headdesk*

why? what damages have you suffered from the loss? did you loose money betting on the game? did you need emotional support after loosing? No? then WHY are you demanding millions of dollars? Isn't this a matter for the NFL anyway? This case should be thrown out and the players declared mentally insane. And if the judge actually listens to the case, chuck him in a mental hospital as well.
