Nutt lawsuit gets filed today?

[PubDawg]

You think yes or no on that? Where is Thomas Mars?? Is he doing "hooker research?"

What makes you think today?

I am starting to think that he doesn't have much of a case. I think he tried to use the damaging info that he came up with to strong arm OM into a settlement and it didn't work. I am definitely no legal expert and Steve maintains that Mars still plans to file the suit and has found even more evidence of an intentional smear campaign against Nutt.....but with Mars now being so silent, when previously he was handing everything over to the press and trying to damage OM publicly, it makes me think that he has played all the cards that he has to play and that the Nutt lawsuit will just fade away.

I guess it's also possible that the strong arm did work and OM realized that he would keep digging until he burned them to the ground so they paid up to make it go away.

I think he has a logical case for some damages as they did clearly "throw him under the bus". Will it be hard to those charges caused loss of future jobs? Maybe, but that's a better case than rebel rags as there is support, even proof, for his assertion.

They can't possibly prove LL nor KJ lied. Further, the lawsuit has likely IMPROVED the guys business as they are "all in" rebels with a cause. If sales fall of going forward, it's cause the team sux.

Having said that... I certainly have missed the guy getting under their skin. I hope he just lingers about for some time.

If he goes away it's because they settled quietly. This is the most likely outcome eventually anyway.

i don't have personal knowledge of the evidence other than a coupla things but knowing how Tom Mars operates, i would hazard a guess that he, hoodie and their investigators "have enough evidence to burn a wet mule," as judge etheridge would sometimes say. just think back on all the hints he's dropped over the past 2 months....

however, we all know how "awesome" the bear's keystone-cops legal team and PR machine is and how they are able to sway thousands of "useful idiots" to do their bidding and support what appears to be a systemic dysfunctional cluster-17, i.e. "a culture of noncompliance infecting the football program, both internally among personnel andexternally among boosters" (from page 1 of NCAA Enforceforment Reply)...[Query: RICO operation???]

I just don't see how Nutt was damaged. Assuming the contract says what Mars claims it says, then the non-disparagement clause was probably breached. But unless the contract stated liquidated damages for disparaging comments, then I really don't see how Nutt was damaged. There were SERIOUS infractions that occurred while he was UMiss head coach. No, it wasn't the "majority" of the allegations, but that's just a question of degree. Was Nutt's reputation damaged somehow because people were told his staff was responsible for "most" of the allegations as opposed to stating that his staff was responsible for the allegations of ACT fraud?

I'm also skeptical of Mars' strategy. He filed in federal Court, and then when it was thrown out for lack of jurisdiction he claimed "I meant to do that!" I would probably be fired if I made that kind of mistake.
