Dez-perate For Attention

It's been a few weeks since the Cowboys felt the crushing weight of a controversial call that overturned an amazing Dez Bryant catch, but one Dallas fan is not prepared to move on just yet. Terry Hendrix, who is currently an inmate at a Colorado correctional facility, is suing the NFL for damages over the referee's decision. His asking price? A cool $88 billion. Nice try, Dr. Evil... now get back to your cell.

Onto the giveaway. Andy will send prize packs to the 20th, 40th, 60th, 80th and 100th person to email him (andy_gray@simail.com) with the name of this morning's LLOD. Please make the subject line "Justin's."
