Remember That Dude Who Got Run Over By The Rouge Golf Cart At Cowbody Stadium A Couple Years Ago? Turns Out It Was Danny Amendola's Dad And Now He Is Suing The Cowboys For 1 Million Dollars
Yahoo – On Dec. 17, 2011, Dekaney High School football coach Alfred “Willie” Amendola was coaching his Wildcats in the 5A Division I state championship game at Cowboys Stadium. After his team won the game (well-done, Coach!), Mr. Amendola was standing at midfield, conducting interviews, when a wayward golf cart bowled him over. Amendola was knocked into the cart, and rolled it off the field after trying to control it. Fortunately, nobody was seriously hurt – and as much as this sounds funny on paper, the cart was getting up a head of steam, and this could have been even worse (and weirder) were it not for coach Amendola’s quick thinking and lightning reflexes. Now, Amendola, the father of New England Patriots receiver Danny Amendola, is suing Cowboys Stadium, L.P. in the District Court of Texas. The suit claims “past and future pain and suffering; past and future mental anguish’ physical and mental impairment, past and future; disfigurement, past and future; past and future medical expenses; loss of earning capacity; and loss of enjoyment.”The elder Amendola is suing the Stadium for an amount exceeding $1 million.
Everybody remembers this video right? Well it turns out that it was Danny Amendola’s dad who got run over by that rouge golf cart. Hah! Small world. I don’t get the article though. I thought it said nobody got seriously hurt. So what is Alfred Amendola suing for? Whatever. I don’t even care. I just feel like since Danny Amendola is our new Wes Welker everybody should know his dad is the guy who got run over in this alltime classic video.
