A stretch. How about negligent infliction of emotional distress? How strongly is your sense of personal identity rooted in the public perception of either Brady or the NFL?

Christy Bros. Circus v. Turnage, 38 Ga. App. 581, 144 S.E. 680(1928):
Action by Velna Turnage against the Christy Bros. Circus. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant brings error. Affirmed.
STEPHENS, J. There may be a recovery of damages for mental suffering, humiliation or embarrassment resulting from a physical injury of which they are inseparable components.
Any unlawful touching of a person’s body, although no actual physical hurt may ensue therefrom, yet, since it violates a personal right, constitutes a physical injury to that person. The unlawful touching need not be direct, but may be indirect, as by the precipitation upon the body of a person of any material substance.
Since the right to recover for a mental condition induced by the tortious act of another is dependent upon the existence of a physical injury, a person suffering a mental condition dependent upon an injury to the person may, in suing to recover damages for the injury, limit the damages to the mental suffering alone, and it is not essential to his right to the recovery of damages for mental suffering that the physical injury out of which the mental suffering arose, was productive of any actual physical hurt or damage, or that he should seek a recovery for such physical hurt or damage.
Where a petition alleged that the plaintiff was an unmarried white lady, and that while in attendance as a guest of the defendant at a circus performance given by the defendant, and while seated in one of the seats provided by the defendant for the defendant’s guests at the circus, a horse, which was going through a dancing routine immediately in front of where plaintiff was sitting, was by the defendant’s servant, who was riding upon the horse, caused to back towards the plaintiff, and while in this situation the horse evacuated his bowels into her lap, that this occurred in full view of many people, some of whom were the defendant’s employees, and all of whom laughed at the occurrence, that as a result thereof the plaintiff was caused much embarrassment, mortification, and mental pain and suffering, to her damage in a certain amount, that the damage alleged was due entirely to the defendant’s negligence and without any fault on the part of the plaintiff, the petition set out a cause of action and was good as against a general demurrer.
The evidence authorized the inference that the plaintiff was damaged, by reason of humiliation and embarrassment, in the sum of $500, and the verdict found for her in that amount was authorized.
Did she cry? (I bet she cried.)OilCanShotTupac said:
I remember learning, in Torts, of one case in which a court found for the plaintiff in a negligent infliction of emotional distress case. It was at least 100 years ago in Georgia, IIRC. The plaintiff was a "proper white woman" who sat in the front row at a circus. A horse backed up to her and shat all over her.

Goodell won't be happy with himself for forgetting to make "shat on by an elephant" a part of Brady's penalty.There is no Rev said:So... the lawyers in the deflategate thread have been reduced to making jokes about proper commas formatting in a case about an elephant shitting upon a proper white woman.
I hope Goodell is happy with himself.

In Soviet Russia, the commissioner who determined the penalty arbitrates on the fairness of the ruling.

Lawyers will argue over proper spacing and italicization of commas, but ignore the elephant actually being a horse?

At this point, in terms of chemical and physiological reactions in our brains and stuff, a favorable Berman ruling would be indistinguishable from another SB championship. An unfavorable one...dcmissle said:I'm reduced to hoping that writing a decision confirming the award is just not this hard
My hope is that he is, as he has been, playing this exactly by the book and holding back the decision even though he knows there is no chance of settlement.dcmissle said:I'm reduced to hoping that writing a decision confirming the award is just not this hard
