Lucky for Exxon the Titans lost

January 12, 2009

Talk about your home-field advantage.

Stephen L. Snyder began Monday’s proceedings in Jacksonville residents’ lawsuit against ExxonMobil Corp. for a January 2006 gas leak with a brief recap of where the trial left off Friday. Snyder noted the court adjourned early so “Mr. Sanders could fly home to see his beloved Tennessee Titans lose to our Baltimore Ravens.”

“Mr. Sanders” is James F. Sanders, Exxon’s lead lawyer in the case, who lives in Nashville.

As the pro-“Wacko for Flacco” jury and onlookers cheered in Baltimore County Circuit Court, Sanders stood up, laughed and waved his hands.

“No excuses here,” he said.
