What are they hoping for...racketeering?

New Orleans is a great city, with great people, food and culture. One of my favorite places to visit, but hot damn this has gone too far. I’ve never seen this level of sour grapes. 

 

Everybody involved with this lawsuit should be ashamed of themselves.

I’m not sure what the end game is here. Honestly, how was this guy even considered to have standing to sue? What tangible thing did Saints fans lose? The opportunity to buy a Super Bowl t shirt?

 

All that can possibly come out of this is embarrassment for Goodell, and I’m always for that. him. I don’t know why any other fan base cares. 

The attorney who filed the suit spoke with Andrew Brant on his podcast this week. Antonio LeMon is a season ticket holder and practicing civil attorney with experience in the DAs Office.  He filed his suit after the suit which asked the game to be replayed following the penalty was rejected. 

 

The interview with LeMon starts at the 06:20 mark.

But what is the endgame? What is he hoping to get from this? Is it just money? I can’t see them winning anything else, and even if they do it will get appealed and then thrown out. This is a ridiculous case and should never even been started.

It is not about money to him as LeMon filed it in state court, not federal as the three three federal suits filed were thrown out.  His monetary request is at the state civil limit of $75,000 which would be donated to Steve Gleason's charity.  LeMon is looking for the NFL to admit that ticketholders and fans have an uniform expectation of rules enforcement if a rule is violated.  In addition, the suit brings up the issue of bias since four officials were from Southern California. 

 

Listen to the conversation.

Well, they are now a 9.5 point underdog (and rising) for Week 1 @SEA.

 

If you're a gambler person put everything you own on the Seahawks to cover that spread.

Forget covering the spread, put that money on Seattle beating the Bungals like the red head step child they are.

But what more do they want than they have already done? The NFL and VP of officiating have said the call was blown. They have changed rules to make penalties or lack there of challengeable. His explanation does nothing to change my view on him being a butthurt “superfan”

chill out. I literally just said the Seahawks were going to win by more than 9.5.

Glad to see Champ Bailey getting into Canton.  His 2006 season was unreal and may have been one of the best individual seasons in the league's history.

 

Thrown at 35 times, allowed 4 completions, 21 pass defenses, 10 interceptions, 98 tackles.

Problem isn't him getting reinstated, problem is him staying clean if he does. 

 

Would hate to see him be another Martavis Bryant (Yeah, I know Gordon's problems go beyond just weed).

I’m curious if you felt this way before The Browns landed OBJ.

I was glad last year when we were able to get anything for this guy. I said when he was traded he wouldn't make it to the end of the season and I was right. Getting rid of him was addition by subtraction. BTW, why does he feel it's time for reinstatement? Because the last time he used he was suspended for over a year. That would have you thinking this time it should be even longer.

So your NFL persona is the basically the equivalent of @Bucfan56's NHL gimmick. I mean, I get it. The Bengals are even less of a regular season threat than the Sharks. Just want to keep everything straight.

Isn’t the story with him is that his drug abuse problems were closely related to his mental health problems? If so it’s pretty wrong to call him a clown for it

Plenty of people with mental health issues are able to maintain sobriety.

As long as he pays me the royalties, I'm good with this.

This. I know a lot of people with mental health issues. They usually know not to get high if they can get fired for being high. Josh Gordon needs to actually take steps to live with his mental health isssues and try to work with them rather than self-medicating with hard narcotics (I'm not talking about weed, I mean the harder stuff he did. Weed ain't helping his mental issues, though. I can tell you that much.)

It is possible to have a mental illness and also be an alcoholic and addict.
