New Orleans lawyer files lawsuit against NFL over missed call
A New Orleans personal injury attorney has filed a lawsuit over the outcome of Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Frank D'Amico Jr. is calling on commissioner Roger Goodell to enforce Rule 17, Section 2, Article 1 in the NFL Rulebook that he says "could, in the right circumstances, allow the commissioner to take extreme action in the face of a grossly unfair result," according to WDSU.com.
In a press release, D'Amico said he's "been approached by numerous season-ticket holders and members of the 'Who Dat Nation' to take legal action" against Goodell and the NFL over the missed pass interference call that occurred in the game. The press release also includes an unattributed article written by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
Two attorneys in Lafayette also wrote a letter to Goodell on Monday asking that he enforce Rule 17.
