Cowboys fan suing NFL for $88 billion over Dez Bryant's overturned catch

A Cowboys fan has filed a lawsuit against NFL officials seeking over $88 billion in damages for Dez Bryant's overturned catch in Dallas's NFC divisional round playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Terry Hendrix is asking for $88,987,654,321.88 from the NFL "for but not limited to: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and also reckless disregard," Landon Haaf of WFAA Sports reports. 

NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino, referee Gene Steratore, and commissioner Roger Goodell are all named in the lawsuit.

Bryant made what was initially ruled a catch on fourth down with just over four minutes remaining in the game. A video review determined that Bryant failed to maintain possession of the ball on his way to the ground, and the play was ruled an incompletion. 

Hendrix, who is currently behind bars in a Colorado correctional facility, calls the reversal a "fraud" and "gross negligence" that caused "true injury" to the Cowboys. He believes Dallas would have been in a position to win and advance to the NFC Championship Game had the play been ruled a catch.

"Dean Blandino, Gene Steratore, and Roger Goodell are wrong and have stolen a victory from the plaintiffs," the lawsuit states. "The Cowboys' offensive line would have perfectly created an 'Autobahn' for DeMarco Murray to drive into the end zone for the score and victory."

Hendrix writes in the suit that he appears as counsel for "Dez Bryant, all Dallas Cowboys fans and all people in or from the sovereign republic of Texas." He is also seeking permission to have the suit move before a court within 35 days.
