Shedeur Sanders fan sues NFL for $100 million over ‘emotional distress’

[mrdaputer]

You can't make this stuff up! I wonder if it was Mel Kiper

A crestfallen Shedeur Sanders enthusiast is suing the NFL for $100 million over the much-hyped quarterback’s disappointing fifth-round draft pick, claiming he suffered “emotional distress and trauma… as a fan and consumer” because the 23-year-old phenom wasn’t selected earlier.

Just another scumbag lawyer trying to cash in on total bullshit.
Happens all the time with our “legal system”.
The biggest problem with our country is lawyers. Lawyers then become judges with zero real accountability.

They should sue Deion since he was the one spreading the rumors.

I assume this has to be parody but nothing surprises me any longer. I want to sue the Rams for the years lost off my life watching them last year. Talking about "emotional distress"!!

Can I sue the Rams over the Jeff Fisher era?

Man, we really dodged a bullet w this family. This would have been a massive side show the Rams do not like, nor need.

While I have issues with plenty of judicial decisions in this country, anyone has the right to file a lawsuit, judges can't control that. As for the greedy lawyers trying to 'cash in,' that's called capitalism.

However, this civil suit should be dismissed rather quickly, I'm figuring... 8-) :idea:

RAM SEASON!!

I'd sue them for all the money I spent going to sports bars and watching absolutely horrific football during the St. Louis days under Spagnolo, Linehan, Jim Haslett. The draft was honestly the high point of the season.

But back to the douche lawsuit, this is what happens when a generation grows up and they were told they can get anything they want and their feelings are always right.

Let me clarify, there are some decent lawyers. I am not sure if this idiot filed on his own, or is an attorney himself. In any case, I realize anyone can file. My point is, if this was filed by an attorney, or if he is an attorney. The court should sanction this clown. We need serious tort reform!!

Can I sue the Rams over the Jeff Fisher era?

And the Rich Brooks era...and the Joe Vitt era...and the Scott Linehan era...and the Jim Haslett era...and the Steve Spagnolo era. I won't include the John "Bones" Fassel era (0-3) in my lawsuit because I just like the guy so much.

Did you know the Rams were 64-135 between 2005 and 2016? That is emotional suffering if there ever was such a thing. And yet...I still watched every week.

This is what I call 'The Rams Dark Ages'... and yep, I watched it it too... long decade it was.

Everything changed when 3 things occurred (in this order):

1. Got a good owner.
2. We became the LOS ANGELES Rams again, back to our rightful home.
3. Snead traded the planet to get Goff

So did I. And that’s why I got so frustrated with the way we started last season. I thought we were past all that. Imagine if we had gotten off to a better start and had home field advantage in the playoffs. We could have beaten the Eagles at home. I think home field advantage should be a goal for us this year.

[GoldenRam]

Everyone MAY have the right to sue, but there should be a mechanism to keep horseshit suits from ever getting to the inside of a courtroom. You should not have the right to divert resources for this sort of actual bullshit. Just like the assholes who sue over spilling hot coffee in their laps. Like they are someone absolved of the responsibility of understanding that coffee is hot and spilling it on themselves will hurt. This dumbass should be forced to reimburse every single nickel this suit costs the system and wear an "I am an asshole" shirt for a year whenever he's in public

I think we all were there, NN. How we started really blew donkey balls.

We finally caught on after 6 games, and squeaked into the playoffs… So, this season we just can’t do that again. We can’t go back into Philly in the playoffs again either. They need to come here this time around because in my option, NFC chip will prob come down to us and Eagles this season imo.

Would be great if we could get best record in NFC and keep entire postseason for us in CA all way through our SB victory.

If you don't include "Bones" (John Fassel) then you would probably not be able to include Joe Vitt and Jim Haslett either, like Fassel they inherited a negative situation and just finished out the season.

Of course, the Chuck Knox II era was in there too, demonstrating why Merlin Olsen, Tom Mack and Jack Youngblood are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame... 8-) :idea:

Well, 1987 - 1998 wasn't exactly a picnic either.
