Tom Brady trying to tackle Yahoo!
New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, has filed a lawsuit against Yahoo, Inc., on November 20, 2006, claiming Yahoo! used his image without his consent. Yahoo! allegedly (they’re not officially guilty yet) used his image in ads published in Sports Illustrated magazines and on the Yahoo! web site to promote the Yahoo! fantasy football service. Bradly is seeking damages and demands that Yahoo! stop running the ads. Yahoo’s fantasy football site apparently generates 800 million page views per day during the football season. I’d hate to think of how that has damaged Brady’s reputation, being all exposed to millions of adoring fans like that.
