The NFL Oakland Raiders would have better “claims” against the Tampa Bay Bucs and coach John Gruden for the Raider’s recent Super Bowl loss.

Then Tony Dungy should sue the Bucs for giving Gruden his Super Bowl ring. Obviously racial discrimination.

Since Tony’s too cool to do that, I’ll do it on his behalf; proceeds to the charity of his choice.

The NFL Oakland Raiders would have better “claims” against the Tampa Bay Bucs and coach John Gruden for the Raider’s recent Super Bowl loss. As was reported in numerous contemporary news articles, Gruden, as the former head coach of the Raiders, was able to provide intimate knowledge about the players and tactics the Bucs would face. How could such a hard core litigant as Al Davis pass up an opportunity to score a Lombardi trophy in the courtroom?

Don’t you mean the WNBA and Title IX, instead of pro basketball and hockey?

John Burgess,

A 100% federal tax on govt subsidies to pro sports teams would do the trick nicely.

Other levels of govt wouldn’t mind it, either, as they already know they’re being played against each other. Ditto the voters.

I’m holding out for a law prohibiting professional basketball. And hockey.

They both soak up local taxes to do something of utterly no interest to me.

If a law can’t be passed, then class action will have to do. Daubert will have no effect on any of the cases, so the jackals should be foaming at the mouth to take the case.

Perhaps it’s time for Celtics fans to file a class-action suit for franchise ineptitude?

There, fixed it for ya…

/Ray Allen for the #5 pick?

Who watches the NBA? All I see is a bunch of seven foot tall goons hanging on the rim.

Either cut the team size down by one or electrify the rim so they don’t hang on it and then you’ll have some thing to watch.

Perhaps it’s time for Bucks fans to file a class-action suit for franchise ineptitude? Or does Sen. Kohl get special government protections from regular-Joe lawsuits?

Up next: balaclavas on all Mavs. Who is that 7 ft white guy who likes to shoot off the wrong foot, anyway? Beats me!
