Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell

Bad look? Nahhhh, a bad look is the c0cksuck3r in the OP calling Sean Payton to apologize but never publicly apologizing to the New Orleans Saints fan-base. A bad look is openly admitting that you know something was wrong and having the power to make it right but sitting on your d1ckbeaters. A bad look is slamming a team for a 'safety issue' then allowing a no-call on a 'safety issue'.. There are a lot of bad looks about this, I dont see filing suit as one of them.

I am tired of my team being the leagues abuse doll.

Right.

It's a waste of time to take the NFL to court over the outcomes of games. It's already been ruled in court that the NFL has no obligation to provide a fair outcome to a contest.

Hey look, I think those are bad looks too. But cmon man, your telling me those bad calls don't go our way sometimes? Those bad calls work for and against everyone at some point.

So, yeah, Frank D'Amico filing a lawsuit for public gain is a bad look for me. And also, I was brought up to believe that you don't counter a "bad look" with another one. Take the high road and leave that for the bottom feeders.

I agree completely that taking the high road is always the best approach........
except when some one does something as agrigeous as stealing a Super Bowl appearance from you. Then you’re justified in kicking them in the nuts...hard enough so that they never do it to you again. Hard enough so they never think of doing it again, ever. Hard enough so that sexual reassignment surgery crosses their mind.

I get your frustrations. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I'm so freaking pissed but to me, lashing out only makes it worse.

Let me be clear... I am not asking for damages. I am not asking for anything above and beyond. The leagues bylaws have a clause just for this situation and we are not talking about a holding or off-sides call. This was a defenseless receiver, pass interference, and helmet to helmet...

Forcing Goddell to use the powers granted him is hardly a low road expectation.

I am willing to bet good money they didn't call the penalties just to force the game into overtime so the league could have higher ratings and more exciting games. Well they f5cked up.

We’ve never met, but I can possibly identify the likely reason for our differing responses. I’m 65 years old. I lived through the Aint’s. Through wearing bags to games. Through years of losing seasons and last second losses. People my age thought this BS was behind us with the coming of Brees and Payton. For the most part it was. Then two years in a row, games with Super Bowl ramifications were effectively stolen from us. One legally. One, for all practical purposes, illegally. People like me, who’ve live through the years of pain, are having flash backs.

I hear you. I've been watching them since '67, too. The Saints have a magical way of keeping us terrified of happiness. It's a unique DNA all its own.
