ESPN: Saints d had "bounty" programs

Don't know a whole lot about it. I was in trial last week so my focus narrowed quite a bit until that was over.

With that said, if it's a class action for damages (which it would almost have to be though a class action injunction or a class action declarative action are beautiful things to my twisted mind) then the class has to prove damages with some degree of certainty. So what are Saints fans' damages? That the team might have a shitty year and they're suffering emotional damage? That's so speculative and individualized as to make it uncertifiable as a class. Or are damages that the value of season tickets is somehow reduced? If I'm on the other side, my fairly short depositions of class members there would go something like "Did you try to sell individual tickets?" If yes, then "did you get face value or more for them?" if no, I got less,then "please produce a receipt." if yes, then no other questions along those lines but ask this " Did you give up your season tickets?"

I think it's a creative idea that will garner a bit of publicity and free advertising for the lawyer(s) handling the class. Buti don''t think it's got a snoball' chance.

 

I appreciate it. I also like flinging doo-doo at Darth Roger. That's the main reason I hope Vilma's defamation suit gets to proceed to discovery. I might even try to find a way to slip into THAT deposition.
