Barry Bonds - Legal Loser

Barry Bond's request to block the authors of Game of Shadows (you can order it from the link at the top of the blog - hint, hint, nudge, nudge) from profits from the sale of the book has been denied. Linky

This suit was a very dumb move by Bonds and his lawyer. I have a mental picture of something like the following happening at the courthouse:

Judge: "After due consideration - the motion to block profits from the sale of the book Game of Shadows has been denied."

Bonds' Lawyer: "Your honor - we strenuously object to the decision and request that you reconsider."

Judge: "I don't make decisions capriciously. There are First Amendment issues here and you have not proven that the information in the book was either illegally obtained or false. The decision stands - motion dismissed."

Bailiff: "All rise!" [Judge leaves courtroom]

Barry Bonds [to his lawyer]: "'We strenuously object?" Is that how it's done? Hm? "Objection, your Honor." "Overruled" "No, no. I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh. You strenuously object. Then I'll take some time and reconsider." My God - what am I paying you for?"

Bonds Lawyer: "Look just because you have a giant head from taking steroids doesn't mean you have any brains. You were the one who demanded we bring some kind of suit against the authors of the book. If you had any balls instead of the shrunken raisins in your jockstrap - you would have sued for libel. My advice to you was to play dumb and just keep saying that you don't know what is in the book because you haven't read it and don't plan on reading it. Reporters would have gotten sick of asking you about it. But noooooooo.... you had to insist on suing about something or anything. Now we look like boobs and as far as I'm concerned if you aren't going to listen to me then you can go eat a big bowl of dicks." [Lawyer storms off]

Barry Bonds [to self]: "Big bowl of dicks? Natural testosterone? I wonder if that would show up in a drug test?"
