I don't think so but I'm not sure. However, I seen where Judges verbally beat the sh^t out of lawyers for doing so from time to time.

So what comes of this? Does ESPN just peel off maybe $150K in a settlement to get this guy to go away or do they spend $200K to their lawyers to win in court?

They offer to buy him Yankees season tickets. He'll probably back down after that. Or sue them for more

Can't settle - this would end crowd shots (oh, you showed me picking my nose - wait, my hair was a mess).

I'm all in favor of banning crowd shots that don't include attractive, big-busted women. :coffee:

If ESPN knew it would turn out exactly that way, they should take the court win and force the fat bastard and his lawyer to incur whatever loss comes from a trial. It's the only way to stop this BS.
