Okay, but I think it's a lousy nickname.

Nah, that's Brian Williams in Super Bowl I.

I think that's Larry Bird

Wrong. It gets funnier every week. I want it to be thesort of thing that confused football historians in 100 years.

I’m guessing you work for Sports Illustrated?

He filled every empty beer in the stadium using one red solo cup.

What about Julie Bowen?

Fine, I will stick to the thing that is the point: Product liability cases against multinational corporations tend to have far larger payouts than personal injury or civil rights cases against municipalities. Municipalities have shallower pockets and a culture of negligence within them reaches fewer people (see also…

The reason everyone gets up in arms about the hot coffee lawsuit is that it’s frequently brought up as evidence that the civil court system is broken and that people who file personal injury suits are more likely than not lying or exaggerating, when that is not the case. The only people who benefit from tort reform…

I can, that’s true.

It fills my cold, dead heart with warmness whenever someone is correctly informed about the Hot Coffee case. Like aside from McDonald’s bullshit, the media just had a field day at that poor lady’s expense

agreed about the 75k, but your a noob about mcdonalds.

I’m not the one who brought up the coffee, I’m not the one who spoke in ignorance, and I’m not the one who condescendingly shit all over a victim here. That’s where your precious derailing happened. In the very first post of the thread, making it less “a conversation,” per se, than “an ignorant person being rude.”

Moutaderie is never going to look into that case. It doesn’t support his “bitches be suing over nothing” narrative.

Not only what the previous comments said, but corporations used that to pass through “tort reform” effectively capping the amount of damages someone can claim. I really recommend watching the documentary Hot Coffee.
