Opportunistic Ambulance Chasers Submit Lawsuit Against Belichick and Pats

It appears that some "fans" can't let things go. Noted Jersey litigator Carl J. Mayer (pictured right) and partner-in-legal briefs Bruce Afran have decided to sue the New England Patriots organization and Head Coach Bill Belichick for (get this) almost $185 million under the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) Act and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.Jeezus, are these dumb asses for real? Here's a glimpse into the thought process for what must be the real-life Harry and Lloyd were thinking when they were preparing this suit:
"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.."
Cha-ching! They must've looked like Looney Tunes characters with dollar sign in their eyes when they hatched this scheme up.
If you ever wonder why court fees, insurance premiums, and doctor bills are so high, you can thank the likes of these two fine bottom feeders as they submit unnecessary after unnecessary suit into the court system just so they can be thrown out. And if you're actually wondering about the outcome of this suit, here's an except from the same article that will attest to their competency:
"Mayer and Afran, who consider themselves public interest lawyers, have been thorns in the side of New Jersey politicians for years, filing lawsuits and demanding investigations to advance their grievances. They are well known in the state but generally have had little success in their causes.
Both have lost bids for elected offices, and Mayer once served as a presidential campaign adviser to Ralph Nader.
Their demand in March for a probe of Gov. Jon S. Corzine's gifts to a former girlfriend was rejected by a federal prosecutor. In 2006, a judge vetoed their effort to block Corzine's appointment of Rep. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., to fill the governor's seat in the U.S. Senate.
They also failed to get a court to order a special election to replace Gov. James E. McGreevey when he resigned in 2004."
Public interest lawyers? Yeah, the only thing that concerns them is that the public becomes interested with then as they line their pockets with cash from their court fees.
One last thing - if they consider what the Pats and Belichick did was fraudulent, where's the suit against hometown slugger Jason Giambi? Mets rival Barry Bonds? Or even former Jets Mark Gastineau and Jason Ferguson? All of whom have had their names associated with Steroids. But none of those guys must not have committed fraud in their "unbiased" eyes. But if these turkeys win, all busted teams and athletes better watch out.



"Okay Br'er Rabbit, you asked for it.."
