Disgruntled fans file class action suit
It didn't take long for Super Bowl ticket holders who either ended up with no seats to the game or were given seats with substandard views to get their class action lawsuit filed. The suit which was filed in federal court is based on claims of breach of contract, fraud and deceptive sales practices. The named defendants are the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones. The NFL had offered nearly 400 displaced ticket holders a ticket to next year's Super Bowl and a cash payment of $2,400, or a ticket to any future Super Bowl with round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations taken care of by the NFL.

In the first arbitration decision of the 2011 MLB season, the Pittsburgh Pirates Ross Ohlendorf was able to prevail over the Pirates, despite a record of 1-11 in 2010. The Pirates argued Ohlendorf should receive a salary of $1.4 million, while the pitcher asked for $2,025,000. The three arbitrators saw the value of Ohlendorf's 21 starts, relatively low 4.07 era and the fact that he was pitching for a team that won just 57 games in 2010.
