UL Football Players Sued
KENTUCKY...
A Louisville man has sued two college football players and a bar over allegations that the players beat him up last year.
Andrew Howell filed suit last week in Jefferson Circuit Court claiming University of Louisville offensive linemen Ryan Kessling and Josh Byrom attacked him "without provocation" on Nov. 19, 2009, at the Granville Inn.
Howell claims he has severe head trauma and a brain injury. No criminal charges were filed against either player.
Travis Lock, an attorney for Howell, says his client was watching a fight between some football players and others when he was hit.
Kessling is a 6-foot-5, 314-pound junior who has played in nine games this year. Byrom is a 6-5, 305-pound senior who has played in 10 games this year.
