ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio reports that the Cowboys were awarded $25,025 on Wednesday for their efforts to produce documents and other information relating to the pending lawsuit regarding the Super Bowl ticket fiasco.
The Cowboys had demanded nearly $200,000, but Wednesday, a judge awarded the team roughly 12 percent of that amount.
Rejecting the Cowboys' effort to recover nearly $200,000, U.S. Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Tolliver pointed to the “conservative estimate” of $75,075 that the Cowboys made prior to the undertaking of the efforts to comply with the production requests.
So, which side won?
The plaintiffs' attorney, Michael Avenatti, made his thoughts known.
“This is a win for the Plaintiffs,” he said in a statement released to PFT. Then he directed a big-time zingers at Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones.
“Hopefully,” Avenatti said, “[owner] Jerry [Jones] will take the $25,000 and hire a G.M. so the Cowboys have a shot at playing in the Super Bowl for the first time in nearly 20 years.”
