View Full Version : Football Outside the lines video on the EA Sports, Sam Keller lawsuit
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4773828
Kind of interesting. I hate EA sports and their BS exclusive rights just as much as the next guy. But I think this is a BS lawsuit and this kind of thing is part of what is wrong with this country.

Hope he wins

Why, if I may ask, do you feel this way?
Sam Keller is a fukkn douche bag IMO. I mean he says its not about him,but I bet if he were the QB of a NFL team and earning millions of dollars a year he wouldn't have a problem with it.He'd probably say thats just how the system works. I wish someone would go into the bar he works at and beat the fukk out of him.nlm The comments on that message board were great!

Some lawyer in AZ talked Sam Keller into suing EA Sports and the NCAA for using players in their games that are too much like the real players.
All they showed, as far as the NCAA rule, though, is that it specifically says their names and pictures can't be used.

What a joke. This is just a freaking bunch of idiots looking to get rich on something that has gone on for the last 14 years in video games dating back to NBA Live when you could unlock players by typing in their names.

If anything it helps the players by getting their names and likeness out there for people to see.Everybody thinks someone owes them something now days.:shake:

I have a hard time siding with Sam Keller for a couple reasons. My main issue is that those guys get their education paid for. I don't think they can complain.

Thing is...
It's funny that he says he's doing this for everyone, not just him.
But I would imagine it is a huge deal to 99% of college football players to pick up a game and play as yourself. How fun would that be?
Hell...just look at created teams this year...how many high school guys created their own team just so they and their buddies could play as themselves ont he video game.

Well he couldn't cut it as a Raider and you see who their franchise QB was going into this year.He might actually be better than Ja Porkchop so I bet that has to be killing him.ROFL
Fukk him!:bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:

They haven't violated the NCAA rules or the NCAA wouldn't have signed a 6 year deal with them. More fucking greed for those that have nothing better to do. Hope this case gets thrown out on it's ass. Try working for a living, stooge. Fucking money-grubbers looking for a hand-out.

NCAA is a racket anyway. It has to be one of the most immoral organizations in the country. Billions of dollars are made off of the labor of kids who won't see a nickle for their work.

My mistake I couldn't watch the video. I thought this was the anti trust lawsuit against ea... I can't stand EA since that exclusive rights bs. I could care less what this guy is talking about.

I agree with you on the exclusive rights stuff. NFL2K5 was great. Wish they could still make an NFL game.

I'm quite certain that those kids' education is worth way more than a nickel.

I read a story about this awhile back, basically the only kids that are upset about it are the ones that know they'll never play in the NFL, it's all about the money.

I was gonna say,why the fukk aren't the other 1500 NFL players currently earning a pay check joining in on the "class action" suit.

I will not argue this.
When I was in NE, the announcers on the radio (give me a break, it was Sidney, there wasn't shit else to do) could do is say how good he was and that the mistakes (particularly the sacks) were an anomaly. Then Ganz comes in and makes plays. God forbid we don't stand tall in the pocket.
Goddamn Callahan was a toolbox.

I'm a little torn on that point... they get a helluva lot for playing a game. An education, all expenses paid when they travel, personal tutors...
OTOH, while the NCAA will go so far in making sure we all know they're student athletes, it is only about the money to the NCAA, and all those Sports Management and Social Science majors couldn't care less about their education. We'll paint a pretty picture for you and tell you that it's all about the great education, while ignoring your son's 70 IQ and 5th grade reading level because well, he can run really fast and catch a football.

Sam Keller is an example of why you shouldn't get caught up in the hype before the season. NU fans were led to believe he would be a gunslinger. I don't remember him throwing too many deep passes and his throwing motion was more than a little strange.
