Kelli Kennedy, of the Associated Press, reports a man has sued Washington Redskins S Sean Taylor saying the NFL player brandished a gun at him and repeatedly hit him during a fight last June. Ryan Hill filed the suit, seeking at least $15,000 in damages, June 27 in Miami Dade Circuit Court. Taylor reached a deal with prosecutors last month after they agreed to drop felony charges against him in the incident. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in the assault case and was sentenced to 18 months probation. "This is a useless, ridiculous lawsuit," Taylor's attorney Richard Sharpstein said Monday, July 3. "Hill stole Sean's property. Hill baited him, lured him and suckered him into a fight."
