PrintYou have GOT! to be kidding me:
A New York Jets season-ticket holder filed a class-action lawsuit Friday against the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick for "deceiving customers."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 Associated Press. "This is a way of punishing Belichick and the Patriots."
Mayer is seeking more than $184 million in damages for Jets ticket holders.
This is getting ridiculous.

Leave it to New York
A season ticket holder, he's suing for all the games between the Jets and Patriots for which he paid for tickets since Bill Belichick became head coach of the New England in 2000. Even I know there's no evidence of such, and not a sane judge in the country would allow it. But this is New York.
Real justice would be that this spotlight-seeking gold-digger -- he has unsuccessfully run for office and has a penchant for failed, high-profile lawsuits -- is reprimanded by the New York State Bar Association, is required to pay all court costs and the Patriots litigation costs, and is required to publicly apologize for wasting everyone's time. Even better if the Patriots and the league can successfully countersue for defamation (which is virtually impossible, but that would be "justice").
Well, maybe New Jersey
Makes sense. The "New York" Jets play in New Jersey.
What was it...
Maybe that team's fans should sue the Jets for triple the $184M for hypocrisy.
