Well in all actuality probably not, a game is when two teams show up and battle it out. Unfortunately only one team is going to show up today leaving everyone to wonder...... where were the Giants?


Just kidding.lol. I just hope it's a good game.

The whole lawsuit was Danny flagrantly stomping his feet because he got straight up roasted. Glad he did the smart thing and dropped this nonsense.

Re: Dan Snyder Drops Lawsuit Against City Paper

I spoke with two lawyers and a law-school professor about this action over the past several months. All three had this assessment of the case:


1. The case would probably have gone to trial because it would not have run afoul of DC's "SLAPP Law". [Google "SLAPP" for a much better explanation than I can give you here if you care enough about what it is...]


2. At trial, all three folks said that Snyder had virtually no chance to prevail because the legal standard for defamation/slander/libel as it pertains to public figures is:
a. difficult to prove in any case - - and - -

b. not even close to being met in this case.

Remember, I am NOT an attorney and have never spent a moment of my life in law school but these are the condensed thoughts of three folks who have passed the bar exams in the DC/No. Virginia area and one of whom teaches law locally.


Good to have all this in the rear-view mirror ... UNLESS ...

I'm dreaming of a epic Snyder/D. Hall/Landry all in one thread one day.
