08:08 AM ET 03.25 | Where it goes from here isn't quite as interesting as the fact businessman Ken Lanci is trying to make a difference. [Lanci] sued the NFL, the Cleveland Browns and the league's 31 other teams on Thursday, aiming to save the upcoming football season. Lanci says in the suit that the lockout violates his private seat license contract with the Browns and jeopardizes his right to watch a full season of home games. He filed the suit in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, asking the court to prohibit the lockout that threatens to cancel the 2011-12 NFL season. ... He is in effect saying the lockout robs him of his right to watch games this season because his PSL contract gives him "exclusive use and possession" of 10 specified seats in Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Guess it depends on what the agreement says that he signed with the Browns.

It's Derrick Anderson. You just don't recognize him without the helmet.

Yeah. And, is the NFL a party to the contract? If the agreement is totally with the Browns, then they can argue that the situation is beyond their control.
It would be funny, though, if the team greed which produced this PSL nonsense in the first place is what forces them back to the table.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to file a suit of this nature, and how quickly the next ones will pop up.

Right now, the real players-vs-owners lawsuit is sitting in line to be acted on. It's just another case to the court, even though the clock is ticking.
How long before cases like this get heard? Suppose we get a judge who agrees with the fans, and issues an injunction against the lockout? Could be fun. But, this case was filed in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, which sounds like something straight out of the old Andy Griffith show. It's decisions will not be binding anywhere beyond where the river can be smelled.

"exclusive use and possession" of 10 specified seats in Cleveland Browns Stadium...odd wording in this article, as it does not say anything about using the seats for Browns games.

I would never insinuate that our fine legal system would engage in any activities that might be tinged with politics...
But - I could see some judge putting a case like this one on "the fast track".

He already did that when they dumped The Mangina.

Weird, someone wants to watch Browns games?
BTW, I hate the universal condemnation of PSLs. PSLs are how Jerry Richardson built Carolina Stadium without using a single dime of taxpayer money. Yes, they can be used for evil, but they can also be used for good as well.
