Someone is a legal genius.

“I’m sorry Mike, I thought you used to be a lawyer, one who would recognize that Edwards has no chance in hell of succeeding with this suit.

“1) No team ever offered him that kind of money”

It’s not impossible and he doesn’t even need an email from a team saying “we’ll give you this much.”

“2) If they did, they very likely wouldn’t have backed out over an incident like this”

That’s just stupid.

“3) If they did, there’s no way in hell they’ll testify to that”

There is so much wrong with this I don’t even know where to start. I’ll just say that I think you get your legal background from Law and Order.

“4) Braylon Edwards was there, these people were in his party, ergo, he WAS “involved”

Again, I don’t know how you wrote this and thought it was correct. Involved implied involved in the altercation. If he wasn’t involved in the altercation and they know he wasn’t involved, and they said it anyway, than that is slander.

“5) “He’s Braylon Freakin’ Edwards” is all a jury will need to hear, to acquit the restaurant owners. Trouble follows trouble, as it is said.”

That’s definitely not how this works, but you keep living in your dream world where Big Ben and Casey Anthony are automatically guilty of anything they are accused of.

Also why does a team have to admit they made the offer. All it would take is an two emails to his agent. One before the incident date and one after. Even if the second didn’t list a reason. I bet a good Attorney could get some milage out of that.

Last all the idiots who are so sure he was or wasn’t involved crack me up. How the hell do you know were you there?

He’ll drop the lawsuit.

Mike wasn’t a plaintiff’s attorney. They’re not all interchangeable, you know. And they don’t “acquit” in matters like this. They find in favor of one party or the other. How on earth do you know no team made him an offer? How do you know a team wouldn’t pull an offer over something like that? That sounds reasonable. Besides, plaintiff’s attorneys can make almost anything sound reasonable–that’s what they do. That’s why juries award big sums for all kinds of bizarre reasons.

I’d be surprised if it went anywhere, too. And maybe the guy is a big ol’ jerk. But it still doesn’t hurt for the shoe to be on the other foot once in a while.

How much can you get from a fry cook, a waitress and a bartender?

Learn how to act in public and then teach your “posse” how to also.

If you don’t act like an animal, you don’t get treated like one.

1) No team ever offered him that kind of money

2) If they did, they very likely wouldn’t have backed out over an incident like this

3) If they did, there’s no way in hell they’ll testify to that

4) Braylon Edwards was there, these people were in his party, ergo, he WAS “involved”

5) “He’s Braylon Freakin’ Edwards” is all a jury will need to hear, to acquit the restaurant owners. Trouble follows trouble, as it is said.

Were you looking for spooning?”

Don’t make offers like that. He might take it the wrong way.

Seems that there would be plenty of witnesses to support the owner that Edwards was present and involved.

Any of you “litigators” out there understand how easy it is to win one of those?
He’s hoping for a settlement.
My guess is one free lunch should cover it.

“Knife and or Fork? You’re waaaaaaaaayyyyy off. My client’s associates merely used an implement commonly referred to as a ‘SPORK’. Since ‘Sporking’ someone is altogether different than knifing or even forking, we request $14 million in damages.”

They were out of spoons.

Separately, if “forking” is a crime, the Eagles’ organization should be found guilty as charged. They’ve been “forking” their fans for years.
