I believe the person in question required skin grafts or something like that. And the restaurant allowed their coffee to reach dangerously high temps. And the person sued for not that much money, like just to cover the cost of medical bills.

It’s always a weird balance between the two. If the titans tossed the ball 8 yards forward and it was the AFCCG I suspect the reaction would be different. It just wasn’t even in the proximity of a borderline call. It also wasn't a scoring play though. That one play didn't entirely decide the outcome of the game like the MCM did. Personally I think this is all a joke and the Saints had like 80+ other offensive plays in that game to distance themselves from a Rams team that they had a massive homefield advantage over. Should a Rams fan have brought a lawsuit against the Saints for pumping in crowd noise if they lost? The NFL has all manner of gray areas and officiating is just one of them. When people start realizing that the objective of the game is to provide a clear and obvious winner they will start understanding that you can't blame officiating for deciding who the better team is by virtue of one or two plays. When I let that "this call cost us the game" nonsense go I stopped getting mad about officiating. EVER. Win the game outright. If you don't then you are leaving yourself subject to bad breaks and human error. Edited July 19, 2019 by BADOLBILZ 1 1

Kirby Jackson Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Ha ha, I’ve said this before but one of my best friends is the plaintiff in the case. He’s an unapologetic ambulance chaser.

If his girlfriend finds you more appealing is he going to sue you for emotional damage? One of these days this con friend of yours is going to have a legitimate claim in which he was actually injured, and based on his reputation for fraud the jury is not going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Nope, he was born to be a personal injury attorney. We all have a calling and that’s his. It’s working out quite well for him.

Not a good analogy. If you spill the coffee on yourself that's clearly your fault. But if the cup falls apart like the umps ability to spot a blatant PI then that's different. The argument is that people invest in tickets etc. with a clear expectation that the game will be called fairly according to the published rule set. Clearly the case is not going anywhere but I applaud the Saints fans. How else can fans try and even the playing field. If the missed/wrong calls were truly random then the same few teams wouldn't be the beneficiaries every time. Based on the way the calls went I think that the NFL wanted NE & LA in the Superbowl.

Yup, McDonalds knowingly served the coffee much hotter as they thought it would come to temperature by the time it was ready to be served to the customer. They feared people drinking lukewarm coffee and complaining. They got it ridiculously wrong.

Not even close. The missed PI was the most glaring no call in most viewers' memory. It was stunning. Plus, if Dee Ford had not lined up 3 feet into the neutral zone (or if Andy Reid could coach the last 2 minutes of a playoff game better than the cotton candy vender he's leering at), Chiefs win. Calls are missed--it doesn't mean that the game is being called "unfairly". You are implying the game was fixed. Fans can't sue because of missed calls. Maybe the NFL will call a couple dozen Rams fans as character witnesses to assure the jury the game was called just right and that they were completely satisfied.
