Willie Gary, a former member of the St. Louis Rams’ Super Bowl XXXVI team, is part of a group bringing a lawsuit against the New England Patriots for cheating.
New England and coach Bill Belichick illegally videotaped a Rams walk-though before the game to gain an unfair advantage, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, the host city of the game.
Willie Gary, who played on the Rams Super Bowl team, wants each member of the Rams’ Super Bowl roster to receive $25,000 – the difference between the bonuses paid to the losing team and the winning team.
A ticket broker, Kevin Hacker, who attended the Super Bowl, asked the federal court to grant 72,922 people who attended the game a full refund. At a face value of $400 per ticket, that would mean the NFL would have to return $29,168,800.
Yeah, yeah – and I need $25,000 too for betting on the Rams that year (legally of course). I totally bet $25,000…so it would be great if the courts would rule in our favor so we could get on with our lives.
