As a landlord and also from a former tenant perspective, there has to be a justification/proof for an amount to sue for. You can't just make up a number just because you think it's a strategy or whatever. You'll be laughed out of the courtroom. It's not like a defamation or some other similar suit. So there is something yet undisclosed to support an amount like that. It's more likely the media has yet to divulge additional details. Brees in his suit with the jeweler had common sense basis for his claim. We shall see with MT.

The basis was that it somehow screwed up his training routine. I can't see him winning that or even being able to associate an amount, so at least he can get the deposit back, which may be the goal to begin.

Right... we are not privy yet to the details of the suit... which was my point. ;)

Well, he killed my enthusiasm for him....

Until he catches 12 passes for 159 yards and three touchdowns against the Buccaneer's in week seven.

I am disappointed as a fan that the guy who at one time was a great example
of a record setting, non-diva type WR has since had questions arise about his behavior. Be it with the way he responded to Brees to the way he fought with a teammate and had a team suspension to the way he chose to have his surgery at an inconvenient time for the team. These are not the actions of a team leader in my option. He earned and is being payed top WR dollars. I don’t think it’s too much to ask as a fan that the player that takes on this financial gain also take on a certain responsibility with that kind of contract. It’s the difference between being a Marcus Colston or being a Terrell Owens.
