Oops....this ruling might open the door for a class action lawsuit against Brett Farve by his former teammates.
What is $9,800 x 17 years worth of teammates?

Woman wins £5,000 for flatulent boss abuse
A woman yesterday won £5,000 in compensation after her boss kept breaking wind in front of her.
Theresa Bailey, 43, who was the only woman on the firm's sales team, complained to senior managers about the "laddish" behaviour among the men.
The mum-of-three said line manager David Nye regularly "lifted his right cheek" in her direction and broke wind.
She was made to wear a badge saying "I'm simple" after suffering computer problems. And she had a beach ball thrown at her head when she challenged sexist banter.
When she complained about the state of the communal loos at direct marketing firm Selectabase, in Deal, Kent, Mr Nye emailed a colleague: "That's why we don't employ women."
Her payout came after a tribunal ruled she would not have suffered the same treatment if she were a man.
She sent an email to company director Steve Selwood saying: "The number of times the person at my side would lift up his bottom off the chair and fart and think it's funny is unreal.
I am no prude but I do think there is a time and a place for that behaviour."
She told the hearing in Ashford: "I felt so humiliated, my heart sank."
Afterwards, a Selectabase spokesman said the firm had 12 years of excellent employee relations.
