NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A lawsuit filed Friday by a former St. Louis Rams player and others seeks millions of dollars in damages from the alleged taping of Rams practices by the New England Patriots before the 2002 Super Bowl.

The lawsuit seeks $35 million in damages covering, among other things, the loss of Super Bowl rings, bonuses and endorsements for the 45 Rams players and cost of $400 tickets for 72,922 fans at the game.

“Each ticket attendee of the game paid millions of dollars to watch a supposedly honest competitive game,” according to the lawsuit.

The Patriots won the game 20-17 in the Superdome.

The $100 million suit, filed on behalf of former Rams player Willie Gary in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, names the Patriots, team owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick.

NEW YORK (AP) - The lawyer for former New England Patriots employee Matt Walsh said his client is willing to turn over videotapes he made for the team if the NFL guarantees Walsh protection from lawsuits or other legal action.

Attorney Michael Levy said that to date, the NFL's initial proposals are not sufficient protection for Walsh, who is said to have taped the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough practice the day before they played the Patriots in the 2002 Super Bowl. The Patriots won 20-17.

Vermeil wasn't the coach when they taped the games. Vermeil never seen the tapes. How would he know that they had no effect without seeing them.

It all started with Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter who is a fucktard 10 time loser filthadelphia iggles fan. He is trying his hardest to find something in hopes that the NFL will decide to disqualify the Patriots of their win against the Eagles in the Superbowl. NOT FUCKING HAPPENING ASSHOLE. The Eagles will never get a ring. They should have played better and won the game. Everything makes me sick about the dirtgles. So pathetic they have to resort to this.
