Imprisoned Cowboys fan files $88 billion lawsuit against NFL for reversed Dez Bryant play: Report

One Cowboys fan — with more than enough time on his hands — thinks that the overturned Dez Bryant catch two weeks ago is just plain criminal and wants someone to pay.

Inmate Terry Hendrix, who is incarcerated in a Colorado correctional facility, has filed a lawsuit against the National Football League seeking over $88 billion in damages because of the controversial call against Dallas in the divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers.

Hendrix is reportedly seeking $88,987,654,321.88 in damages from the NFL "for but not limited to: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and also reckless disregard," according to WFAA.com.

The jailbird specifically names NFL Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino, referee Gene Steratore and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the lawsuit.

Bryant's catch, which was ruled incomplete after a video review, would have put the Cowboys at the 1-yard line. Hendrix writes "the Cowboys' offensive line would have perfectly created an 'Autobahn' for DeMarco Murray to drive into the endzone for the score and victory."

Jim McMahon, former players sue NFL for 'illegally' supplying drugs: Report

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon and seven other ex-NFL players claim the NFL illegally gave them narcotics and other painkillers that led to addiction and long-term medical complications in a bombshell lawsuit filed on Tuesday.

This comes on the heels of the league agreeing to pay $765 million last year to players who claimed in a class-action lawsuit that the NFL concealed the dangers of concussions. A federal judge rejected that deal in January and the case is still pending.

Tuesday's suit, filed in San Francisco federal court, says the league obtained and administered the drugs without prescriptions in order to get injured players back on the field. Some players say they received large amounts of painkillers for free during their NFL careers and were addicted to the pills when they retired.

"Rather than allowing players the opportunity to rest and heal, the NFL has illegally and unethically substituted pain medications for proper health care to keep the money rolling in," the lawsuit says.

 McMahon, along with two other members of the 1985 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears are also plaintiffs in the suit. Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent claims he became hooked on painkillers during the course of his career.

"After his playing career ended, he was no longer able to obtain painkillers for free from the NFL and was forced to purchase over-the-counter painkillers to satisfy his 'cravings,'" the suit says.

Offensive lineman Keith Van Horne, meanwhile, claims the Bears' trainer continually ordered the painkiller Percodan under his name even when he didn't need the medication.

McMahon, meanwhile, became addicted to painkillers, downing more than 100 Percocet pills per month, the lawsuit says. Team doctors and trainers didn't get prescriptions for the medication, keep records or explain side effects.

The lawsuit, filed by attorney Steven Silverman, seeks class-action status for any former player who received painkillers and other drugs without prescription, independent diagnosis, or warning about side effects or the dangers from mixing with other drugs.

The lawyers are seeking class-action status and say more than 400 plaintiffs have signed on.
