We know that there are a lot of people out there who will jump all over any opportunity that presents itself in order to make a quick buck. That’s why we’re reserving judgment on whether Skip To My Lou spits or swallows. But sometimes you can just tell when someone is trying to abuse the system and cash in a virtual lottery ticket by taking a celebrity to court. Like when somebody waits 18 months after the fact to file a lawsuit.
A woman who was involved in car crash with a sloshed Eddie Sutton last February is now suing both Sutton and Oklahoma State University on the grounds that Sutton was negligent for getting behind the wheel and turning the key and that OSU was negligent because they allowed him to get behind the wheel and turn the key. Now, Sutton was absolutely out of line as he got popped with a .22 blood alcohol level which, for all you lightweights out there, is close to three times the legal limit which is pretty impressive for an old dude. So, while she’s a bit slow on getting around to taking him to court, we’ll let is slide and see what the judge has to say, but we have no clue how this broad expects to tag the university with responsibility for the wreck. If you can sue employers for employees’ behavior outside the work environment then Pacman Jones’ exploits would have put the Tennessee Titans out of business long ago.
And speaking of Pacman, don’t forget to tune into TNA tonight for the pro wrasslin’ debut of The Rainmaker.
