I think Munson has been beamed up by the mothership.

What aboot David Spada?

Eldon Ham was the legal expert that Murphy had on before he left. Eldon was on Boers/Bernstein for a little bit, and then was on with Murphy for maybe 3 - 4 months before his summer break. They could use him back.

After listening to every show today struggle with this Kane issue (right now B&B are guessing about dram shop actions), it is obvious that the Score needs to hire a reliable legal expert.

I don't know if Lester Munson is still around but he always liked to talk politics more than law anyway.

What about Irish Boy?

He still has beef with Les Grobstein.

And he is not a lawyer.

But I believe he could be a taxi cab expert.

I nominate aggravated whitesox fan bob

If shakes is a lawyer he would be good too...

in fact, I've always wondered why you never see pro athletes filing Comp claims. Probably because they are already rich and don't look at the relatively small comp recovery (compared to their salaries) as worth the hassle.

I imagine there is a language in the deals they sign that bars them from doing so. Instead, they sue. Didn't Bears have an ex-player who was suing them, their medical staff, and everyone else he could for some botched treatment? I want to say he was a G or OT.

I'm a lawyer, but my specialty is Workers' Compensation. I do some PI as well and the occassional traffic/misdemeaner criminal, but I would say 95% of my work is comp. So, unless the Score has some legal questions about Comp I wouldn't be of any use as a legal expert. Maybe all these Cubs players with injuries would like to file comp claims against the Tribune Company? Now that's something I would love to get involved in!

Aggravated,

I'm in your business and know you. I don't know what practice Munson had but he really talked just politics and influence and I don't think he understood either.

Remember Munson during the Tank Johnson sentencing? Johnson, on a weapons probation, never reported to probation, never paid his fees and fines, never did his anger management counseling, and gets a new weapons case. (I can't remeber if he was violating a curfew the night that Homey In The Basement got shot) Typical defendant, right?

Munson kept predicting a pat on the head and a second chance for Johnson, and only because he was a football player with a good lawyer.

Any judge in the County was going to send him. Moran gave him 120 days, I had thought it would come in at 60.

Maybe Munson knows about contracts, he sure doesn't know criminal law. Like you say, Terry Sullivan does know this stuff.

Aggravated, you ever been in front of Judge Sacks? He's one of my dad's best friends since childhood..they still go fishing just about every summer.

I've never been in front of him, but I hear he doesn't take shit from nobody. I remember him getting in trouble a few years back for yelling and swearing at a defendant.


My cousin was a judge as well, retired though...Zissman. I don't know him too well.

You can't circumvent state law with an employment contract so that can't be it. Some entities are immune to Work Comp such as Chicago Police Department, but I doubt pro sports leagues were ever given that type of immuntity.

I bet its just a matter of the money. Unless someone has a serious career ending injury the recovery in Comp is a drop in the bucket compared to the salaries the players get.
