New Jersey lawyer Carl Mayer (pictured above) is suing the Patriots.

I will no doubt be sued for slander if Mr. Mayer happens to see his photo.

A New York Jets season-ticket holder filed a class-action lawsuit Friday against the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick for "deceiving customers."

"They violated the integrity of the game," Mayer's attorney, Bruce Afran, told The Associated Press. "This is a way of punishing Belichick and the Patriots."

Mayer and Afran, who consider themselves public interest lawyers, have been thorns in the side of New Jersey politicians for years, filing lawsuits and demanding investigations to advance their grievances. They are well known in the state but generally have had little success in their causes.

"Having been a lifelong Jets fan, as soon as I heard this, I was completely outraged," Mayer said. "The NFL just slapped them on the wrist. I'm a consumer lawyer, and this is consumer fraud."

Umm, the NFL fined the Patriots $250,000, fined Coach Bill Belichick $500,000 and stripped the team of it's 2008 first round draft choice. I think that constitutes more than a slap.
