Jailed Cowboys Fan Sues NFL For $88 Billion Over Dez Bryant Overturned Catch

Did you ever notice that people take sports very seriously? Seriously enough to flush all logic and reason down the nearest toilet? The Dez Bryant overturned catch against the Packers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs earlier this month upset many people. Most expressed their frustration at the NFL’s confusing catch/not-a-catch rules on message boards or various other Internet comments. Maybe they vented, calmly, on talk radio.

Few went to the lengths of Terry Hendrix, a man currently incarcerated in a Colorado prison. Hendrix decided to file an $88 billion(*) lawsuit against the NFL citing “true injury” the call reversal had on Cowboys fans. WFAA has the original story. I’ll defer to them because it’s hard to read Hendrix’s handwritten lawsuit, which is included below.

"“Dean Blandino, Gene Steratore, and Roger Goodell are wrong and have stolen a victory from the plaintiffs,” Hendrix wrote in the lawsuit. “The Cowboys’ offensive line would have perfectly created an ‘Autobahn’ for DeMarco Murray to drive into the endzone for the score and victory.”"

I’m no Matlock, but it sounds like an air-tight case.

And poor Roger Goodell, right? Just what the commish needs, another headache with the Super Bowl a mere nine days away.

(*) Actual amount is $88,987,654,321.88 which is a reference to Bryant’s jersey number. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
