Could it be Mike Price's "Destiny" to get some money out of SI?

In the morning fish wrapper in Birmingham, Mike Price has sued Sports Illustrated for 20 million for slander. The lawsuit charges that Dan Yaeger defamed Price. His attorney sent SI a letter demanding a retraction but the magazine refused. The suit outlined 7 portions of the article about his episode that Price says were not true. They were as follows:

That he immediately went to the strip club upon landing in Pensacola
That he touched a dancer
That he fondled a waitress in the club
That he had sex with 2 women in his hotel room (too bad, I was impressed on that one)
That a woman left his hotel room before he went to the golf tournament
That he bought drinks for female students in Tuscaloosa and propositioned them
That he was twice reprimanded by Mal Moore for "generally serving as the life of the party in too many bars"

Sounds like the Price is right to get some money from SI. Stay tuned, next on the plate, the administration at Alabama.

He'll need to prove intent and I don't think he can.

It's bad enough that he did it, now he's trying to sue Sports Illustrated to make up for his own mistakes, whether reported accurately or not. I hope he loses and gets slammed with a bunch of lawyer fees.

In America anybody can sue anybody else for anything if he can find a lawyer willing to take the case. A couple of years ago some guy sued the Washington state dairy industy because he claimed that the TV ads for milk caused him to become addicted to milk.

Just say moo to milk If you can't say no then milk it for all its worth. Whats next? Somebody suing because he is "hooked on phonics"

Looser than whom? I guess practically everyone other than Bill Clinton.

I plan to sue the National Dairy Board if my wife gets osteoporosis (sp?). She drinks about two gallons a week.
