To the ire of the New England Patriots and the NFL, Carl J. Mayer, football fan, Jets season ticket holder, and, most importantly, a lawyer with a like-minded colleague, has filed the lawsuit that won't die. He's claiming the Pats and their coach, Bill Belichick, owe fans $184 million in compensation stemming from the infamous incident on Sept. 9, 2007, when a Patriot employee surreptitiously videotaped the New York Jets defensive signals or as Mayer contends, "illegally recording, capturing and stealing the New York Jets signals and visual coaching instructions," thereby depriving ticket holders of an "honest match." The lawsuit was widely derided and ridiculed when it was filed in 2007 but the case is still alive because of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, which hears New Jersey cases and has not only agreed to decide whether the potential class action case can go to trial, but selected it to be one of the relatively few cases to get an oral argument before a three-judge panel.
