From the If I Rolled My Eyes Any More I’d Look Like Linda Blair in “The Exorcist” File
So here we were in New England, all content that the whole Patriots “spygate” videotaping debacle was behind us. The Commish was now a happy camper, the team got the job done on the field (a sound 38-14 thrashing against the San Diego Chargers—the same sound thrashing administered to the New York Jets the previous week), and the fans resumed their characteristic smugness. Hey, I’m one of those smug fans, so I can say that.
And then comes the biggest joke in the history of lawsuits, the kind that will thrust the McDonald’s “too-hot coffee” one back down into the Minor League of Frivolity. A season ticket-holder with too much time on his hands has filed a $184M class action lawsuit against Sir Belichick and the Patriots for—hold on to your pretzels and beer—“deceiving customers.”
I’ll pause a moment so you can finish the wild guffaws and requisite eye rolls (see the post title for reference). Finished? Moving on.
Um, yeah . . . so, Mr. I Want to See My Name in the Paper decided that attendees of the eight Pats-Jets games on Jets turf during Belichick’s tenure were suckered into watching “fraudulent” games. As such, they (collectively) should be entitled to triple the $61.6M in ticket sales for those games.
I won’t even mention the guy’s name—mostly because I don’t want any connection to the voodoo dolls that will no doubt be christened as such until this “sheer stupidity,” as my father would say, blows over.
