Eric Green, Angelina Mavilia Lawsuit Settled: EXCLUSIVE

Eric Green, Angelina Mavilia Lawsuit Settled: EXCLUSIVE


ST LOUIS (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – The Angelina Mavilia Eric Green lawsuit has been settled in favor of Mavilia. Angelina Mavilia two years ago sued Eric Green, then with the Arizona Cardinals, and also the City of New York, in two separate lawsuits. But in court documents obtained exclusively by LALATE today, the case against Eric Green has been settled in favor of Angelina Mavilia.

In 2010, Angelina Mavilia filed one lawsuit against the City of New York in New York federal court, and one case against Green in Florida federal court. The case of Mavilia v. Green sat in the Middle District of Florida (Ft. Myers) for roughly one year as the parties agreed upon a settlement and its payment.

The court considered Green’s address with the Omaha Nighthawks, his employer since 2010. Green played with the Cardinals for three years, then the Dolphins and 49ers into the 2009 season. The Virginian Tech cornerback was a third round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2005.

The court previously battled whether the matter should be dismissed for venue or not. “The Court has stated that should it dismiss this action for failure to establish jurisdiction and venue, dismal would be without prejudice. However, it should be noted that the incident at issue occurred on January 42, 2009 in Arizona.” The plaintiff asserted that the statue of limitations for intentional tort in Florida was four years, and in Arizona two years.

On October 7, 2011, the two parties agreed to settle the case. Green, representing himself, agreed that he would pay two amounts. First Green agreed to “pay Plaintiff an agreed upon sum certain by October 21, 2011.” Second, “a stipulated final judgment shall be immediately entered in favor of Plaintiff for an agreed upon sum certain, separate from and in addition to the sum referred [above]“.

Finally on February 29, 2012, that second stipulated final judgment was entered for $160,000. “Judgment is entered in favor Plaintiff… against … Eric Green in the amount of one hundred sixty thousand dollars”. (A previous report published today online incorrectly claimed Mavilia only obtained $160,000 from the case. That’s just the second sum, the stipulated amount, “separate from and in addition to the sum” paid by Green to the plaintiff in 2011.)

In Angelina Mavilia’s case against the City of New York, the parties on August 25, 2011 agreed that “that the City of New York hereby agrees to pay counsel for plaintiff, Rose Weber, Esq. and Andrea Ritchie, Esq., the total sum of … $43,000.00… in full satisfaction of all claims for costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees arising out of any claims that were or could have been alleged by plaintiff in this action. “

Dirty Bird Dance by Hakeem Nicks Shocks Jamal Anderson

Dirty Bird Dance Hakeem Nicks Shocks Jamal Anderson


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A Dirty Bird dance by Jamal Anderson first made news in 1998. Anderson created the Dirty Bird during that season’s stellar touchdowns for the Atlanta Falcons. Anderson confirmed to news today that he was watching the Falcons face the Giants. But he was shocked when someone invoked his legendary in-your-face touchdown celebration, from the Giants.

New York’s Hakeem Nicks had a stellar touchdown during Sunday’s Wild card game against the Falcons. And while Jamal Anderson wasn’t happy with how his former team was playing, he indicated to fans and news that he was more surprised by a touchdown celebration Sunday.

After a stunning 72 yard touchdown run, Nicks brought a stadium to its feet. But it also brought Jamal Anderson to his keyboard thereafter. “NO HE DIDNT!” exclaimed Anderson with more than a dozen exclamation points following. Anderson (whose twitter account is jamthedirtybrird) later added “Btw, I’m not made at Nicks. I broke out the Dirty Bird in 1998s. It’s trending on Twitter in 2012.” He later added “this game, though, very disappointing.”

The Giants next face the Packers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. That game is next Sunday, start time 4:30 pm EST on FOX. For the original Dirty Bird, see below. For the updated Giants version, click HERE.

Lions vs. Saints 2012 Face Off in NFC Wild Card Game

Lions vs. Saints 2012 Face Off in NFC Wild Card Game


ST LOUIS (LALATE) – When the Lions vs. Saints 2012 takes to the field today, the Saints will hope to continue their impressive winning streak. The Lions vs. Saints 2012 game for the NFC Wild Card today, start time 8 PM EST NBC, will feature two teams with both impressive records this season. But of the two teams, only the Saints have been unbeatable for the last two months.

The Saints haven’t lost a game since October 30 against the Rams. Since then, the Saints have won eight consecutive games. The Saints ended the regular season with only three defeats, including to Tampa Bay and the Packers. But as news analysts remind fans today, the last time the Lions and Saints faced off in December, the Saints delivered a stunning final score of thirty-one to seventeen. Drew Brees comes into today’s game with nearly 5500 passing yards this year and forty-six touchdowns.

The Lions, however, have not been as consistent. Since November, they’ve been defeated in fifty percent of their games. They fell to the Bears, then beat the Panthers. They came back to be defeated by the Packers and the Saints, only to beat the Vikings, the Raiders, and the Chargers. But they ended the season with a narrow defeat by the Packers.

When looking at these teams’ last showdown, the big difference was the second quarter. Yet, the Lions had more total yards. After the game Brees told news “We were able to spread the ball around and come up with some big plays.” It’s those big plays that made the difference. “I hope our hopes and aspirations are bigger than setting records.”

Lions coach Jim Schwartz told news that the key for the team is avoid offensive penalties. “We lost to the Saints, but we beat ourselves today. Our offense continued to get derailed by penalties”. He added “We cannot afford to be selfish and put the team at risk of taking points off the board and there was way too much of that today.” For the rest of this weekend’s games, click HERE.

Bengals vs. Texans 2012 Battle in NFL Playoffs Wild Card Game

Bengals vs. Texans 2012 Battle in NFL Playoffs Wild Card Game


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – When the Bengals vs. Texans 2012 game kicks off today, fans will get the first of four NFL Playoff games commencing this week. The Bengals vs. Texans, start time 4:30 pm EST NBC, will determine who will face with the Ravens in the AFC Division Playoff game next Sunday on CBS. And while fans and news are split about predictions for today’s Bengals vs. Texans showdown, the last time the two teams met the Texan narrowly beat the Bengals.

News analysts are concerned about the consistency of the Bengals this season. They enter today’s showdown following a difficult December run. The team surprised news and fans losing three of five games in the last thirty days. But can they turn it around today?

The Bengals had a stellar performance in October. For more than a month, no team could beat the Bengals. They defeated Buffalo, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Seattle, and Tennessee in consecutive games. But come November, the news was different. The Bengals first lost to the Steelers, then to the Ravens. When they faced the Steelers again in December, they fell in a miserable thirty-five to seven score.

The last time these two teams met was on December 11, when Houston narrowly beat the Bengals 20-19. But Houston’s season seemed to collapse ever since. After that Bengals win, the Texans were defeated in three consecutive games starting against the Panthers on December 18. The Texans had produced a stellar seven-game winning streak from October to December. But since then, they haven’t won a game.

News analysts are focusing on the last time the two teams faced off on December 11. The big difference was on turnovers, an issue that the Texans must solve before Saturday’s showdown. The Texans surprised news analysts with four turnovers, three by fumbles, in December’s game. On passing yards, the Texans produced two hundred sixty eight compared to the Bengals one hundred eight four. On rushing yards the Texans delivered one hundred forty-four compared to the Bengals one hundred. For the rest of this weekend’s games, click HERE.
