Looks like Manny Wright did alright for himself

Looks like these men had good agents to include that provision in their contracts. The Giants probably thought it was such a long shot, why not give it to them, we will never win the Super Bowl. Ha!

I think this is the winners share, not a contractual bonus

You gotta love lawyers, sticking up for each other and taking credit for things they had nothing to do with. Fight On Lawyer John!

Also who else would put their occupation in their screen name? Talk about ego...

Actually, it is more than a monikor. It is my nickname. I do a lot of work in the Chinese community where they have a difficult time pronouncing my last name. And so when I call them I tell them, "Hi, it is your lawyer, John." And so it became 'lawyer John.'

P.S. I stand corrected, you boys are right, the 78 grand was the winners' share. Shouldn' have had that third beer last night.

Still,should have had a bonus provision in that contract. Bad lawyering.

Shucks, only $78,000? I used to pass out more than that in the UCLA basketball locker room after games, back in my day. You should see the house that Slick Rick got with my help. If you only knew ...

To take it one step further, their total "haul" for the post season was $155K!!!!

$20K - Tampa Bay
$20K - Dallas
$37.5K - Green Bay
$78K - New England

That's more like it. Much better when lawyers are calling every other lawyer incompetent. Lawyers almost rival IT guys at that!

LAWYER JOHN Author Profile Page said:

Well, these players deserved their haul. If any athlete earns his money it's professional football players. I was telling people during the super bowl that every player on that field was physically hurting in some way.

One of my friend's is a DUI Defense Attorney and he is known as "DUI Bob." And his name is not even Bob...

Maybe Josh Booty will retain him!
