Now we've heard of people being bored to sleep while watching certain sports, but we didn't know that you could sue for it. 

A fan who was captured on camera having a snooze during a game between the Yankees and the Red Sox (one of baseball's biggest rivalries) has decided to take legal action after the commentators poked a bit of fun at him.

The incident occurred back in April, but while Andrew Rector admits that he "briefly slept" during the fourth inning of the game, he argues that what announcers Dan Shulman and John Kruk said was a "verbal crusade" against him, and described their words as "vituperative utterances".

Those sound like the words of a man whose friends won't let him forget about the time he was caught sleeping on TV, and not looking particularly good while doing it.
