Another lawsuit

Is this him? I admit, I think what you say is true. I’ve seen a lot of articles about the settlements he’s reached. Is it just the internet? Or is his PR office in overdrive?
I know some of the lefty’s won’t like Medved (a Seattle local), but he’s been a solid movie critic over the years.
I'm somewhat surprised Gonzaga didn't add a 3rd exhibition game so Coach Few could make it back in time for that critical season opener vs. Dixie State.

Washington State assistant fired for being unvaccinated joins Nick Rolovich in pursuing legal action
The attorney representing fired Washington State offensive line coach Mark Weber, who along with head coach Nick Rolovich and other assistants were terminated for declining COVID-19 vaccinations for religious reasons, believes WSU athletic director Pat Chun is violating her client’s...www.foxnews.com

These coaches are obviously getting the best of the best involved.
I expect all of these lawsuit threats to end up with small settlements. It is cheaper for the school and/or insurance company/state than the trial process. Just as important, it allows the plaintiff to say that a settlement was reached, but that they are not permitted to discuss it. Sort of a general face saving thing. And it allows the lawyer to brag about once again achieving a settlement for his client. The fact that the settlements will be small doesn't get mentioned, and everybody just moves down the road. Where it might get interesting is if the school is self-insured somehow/some way for this sort of thing and decides to fight the first case. Good chance the school would win, based on what is known today. That would be an expensive process, but if they won the first one, the others would fizzle. If it does go to trial, then it is more about the process followed by the participants in the firing drama than anything else. If the school was well advised, and if they are self insured, it might actually be worth fighting. I don't see that as the likely result, but you never know.
I think we may have seen the last of the lawsuits.
Rolo had too much money left on the table to walk away.
Weber is at the tail end of his career and may end up retiring or gliding into retirement.
The rest of the assistants are young with a lot of coaching ahead of them. Probably all on 1 year contracts with only 3-4 months to go so not worth tanking your career by going after your employer.

More like CNN, Washington Post, New York Times and other rags are the propaganda arm of the DNC and not into actual reporting.
For big dollar cases (Rolovich, any class action) the defendant(s) (WSU, State of WA, whoever) will try a motion to dismiss arguing that there is no legal basis for the plaintiff's claims, and that mandate was proper. If that doesn't work settlement becomes more likely.
I thought Dune was fine. I thought the actors fit the roles pretty well. Didn't blow me away, but I'll watch the next one. Worked better than the 1984 version.
My favorite book in high school. I guess that places my age bracket. The 80's movie was poorly done, but in fairness there was too much to tell in a single movie. In my ideal world it would have been a mini-series, rather than a movie.
Or, if Netflix got ahold of it, they would do 70-80% of it and then cancel the series....

The 1984 version was awful. Almost 40 years later, I still can't see Kyle MacLachlan in anything and not think of Dune.
Showgirls was another really bad choice by him. Gotta wonder at some point if he's just unlucky, or if he and his agent are that bad at picking scripts.
Kyle was in the class that followed mine at the Beta House. Nice kid from Yakima. I enjoy him as the mayor of Portland. Haven't seen his other stuff.
I actually didn't mind him as The Captain in How I Met Your Mother...but that was a role that fit his style pretty well.
I lived in Yakima when Dune came out, and knowing he was from there was part of why we were excited to see it. That excitement did not last until the final credits.
I guess I was wrong. Sounds like the other 3 assistants have retained Rolo’s lawyer per ESPN article, though they are probably waiting to and see how things go with Rolo before they jeopardize their careers over 75-100k.
