New NFL LAWSUIT
 

They will be lumped into the class action suit.


Ambulance chasing lawyers~
Three wives -- Chandra Williams, Nancy Mauti and Billie Keyes -- also are plaintiffs. They say that brain injuries have deprived them and will deprive other NFL spouses of their husbands' "services, society, and companionship."

The former players say each has had headaches, dizziness, memory loss, depression, cognitive dysfunction and medical bills because of concussions and other brain injuries, and will have future expenses which they and their wives will have to pay for and future problems that will require their wives' care.

Jimmy Keyes ~ played 17 total games in 68-69 as LB/K zero tackles

That's the alcohol. Maybe you can claim the need to drink and have the NFL pay your tab :)

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

I want in on that class action...

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

I blame my alcoholic tendencies on Roger Godhell. :wink:

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

I only cheer and hug my neighbors if Roger Goodell gets suit personally.

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

Are your neighbors aware that they even have a neighbor? :p

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

I'm sure I have liver damage from the Saints (pre-Brees years), but I'm not gonna file a claim. Of course, I guess I probably have liver damage from the Brees years also, just for a different reason. Over-all, it's still got to be their fault, right?

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

I am not looking for damages... I want them to pay my tab... forever.

Ive no plan to stop drinking or being a Saints fan... Its not worth it :)

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

Sue happy country. Why can't people take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming them on other people?

Yes, there are legitimate complaints in this lawsuit but dumbasses like these 3 getting involved - its just sucking of the teat of the NFL, like jackals.

Re: New NFL LAWSUIT
 

The settlement from the other lawsuit amounted to $173,000 per player. Of which a little lump gets paid now, and most of it doesn't even get paid out until something like 17 years from now. Which set a legal precedent, and now, odds are pretty good that's going to be the standard payout for all similar cases and suits going forward. Now these guys and anybody else can line up and get $173,000 per player.

The league will just pass the cost on to the season ticket holders, sponsorships, and future TV revenues. It's really just a drop in the bucket compared to what the real payouts could have been if the original lawsuit had gone to a jury. $173,000 per person. For the owners, it's basically the same thing as if the rookie league minimum just went up by about a third, on paper, for the first year any guy plays. Or $9 million for every 53 men on the roster, although many will never collect.
