Today, in the US District Court Eastern Division in New Orleans, one Rams player, along with a Rams seat license holder and two Super Bowl ticket holders, filed suit against the Patriots for a nice little sum of $100 million.
What could the Patriots have done that's worth that much money in damages? Apparently, there is a lot of things they could have done.
Willie Gary, a former St. Louis Rams player, has decided to act on behalf of all the Rams players and ticketholders of Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002, based upon allegations of the Patriots taping practices and the the Final Walk-through before the Super Bowl, as well as this year's signal stealing during the season opener with the Jets.
The suit covers $35 million in damages, Super Bowl Rings, bonuses and endorsements of other Rams players, and $400 tickets of the approximately 73,000 fans in attendance.
All this aside, will the sheer number of $100,000,000 just blow everything out of proportion? Will it make everyone forget how good the Patriots were over the last few years?
If this lawsuit goes through, it will damage the credibility of everything Bill Belichik has ever done, and it will question the honesty of every member of that organization. Will the dynasty title disappear?
Hopefully, this will stop all cheating in everything, because that's a lot of money to be paid, no matter who you are. I'm sure its not the money that will prevent this fiasco from ever happening again. It is the thought of guilt that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
