World of Weird: Jets fan sues Belichick for 184 Million

Citing that Bill Belichick "deceived customers" of the New York Jets as well as New England Patriots fans, a Jets backer has filed a federal suit against the Pats coach for 184 million dollars.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Newark, N.J., by Carl Mayer of Princeton Township, N.J., stems from the Patriots being caught illegally videotaping signals from Jets coaches in New England's 38-14 season-opening win Sept. 9. "They violated the integrity of the game," Mayer's attorney, Bruce Afran, told the AP. "This is a way of punishing Belichick and the Patriots."

Huh?

The lawsuit maintained that because other teams found illegal videotaping by the defendants, Jets ticket holders should be compensated for all games played in Giants Stadium between the Jets and Patriots since Belichick became head coach in 2000.

The two calculated that because customers paid $61.6 million to watch eight "fraudulent" games, they're entitled to triple that amount -- or $184.8 million -- in compensation under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.

"How many times have the Patriots done this? We find it hard to believe they did it just once," Mayer said. "We just want to get to the truth of the matter of what the Patriots did to the Jets. I think the ticket holders are genuinely concerned about it. This is a type of misrepresentation."

Wow. I guess I better start calling my lawyer every time I feel "deceived" by a company or business. Get real and get a life, or get some therapy. Stop wasting our time, Mr. Mayer. Belichick ought to be ashamed, but by doing this you're in the same boat now, mister.

Give me a break...
