Buffalo Bills to Sue EA Sports
With the recent contract dispute going on between the Buffalo Bills and Jason Peters, the Bills began to wonder where Peters gets the idea that he should be the highest paid LT in all of football.
Look no further than the depth chart on Madden 09. Jason Peters reportedly told Russ Brandon that "Madden don't lie" and he should be paid according to his madden rating.
With the 97 Overall rating, Jason Peters is the highest rated Offensive Tackle in Madden 09, and wants to be paid accordingly.
The Peters party is reportedly asking for upwards of $11.5 million per year on his contract... coincidentally enough--the same number of sacks he gave up last year.
So with the recent discovery that Peters belief that he is the Best OT in football and should be paid accordingly, the Buffalo Bills have filed a lawsuit against EA Sports for intentional infliction of emotional distress on the front office members, as well as the fans.
The Bills are reportedly asking for around $60 million in punitive damages, looking to use the money awarded to pay for Jason Peters' contract in the fashion of a 5-year $60 million deal.
Think of it this way folks... if Peters gets the type of money he is commanding, and continues to play the same way he did last year, The Buffalo Bills will pay him a Million Dollars for each sack allowed!!
