Input: But Rodriguez ruled that foul in her decision, which included a transcript of Shulman and Kruk's commentary during the game. The broadcasters wondered aloud how Rector could have fallen asleep so early in the contest, how much his neck might hurt the next day, and why a man sitting nearby didn't wake him up. ||||| SEPTEMBER 29--A New York City judge has dismissed the $10 million defamation lawsuit filed by a New York Yankees fan shown on ESPN sleeping in the stands during a game last season against the rival Boston Red Sox, court records show. 
  
 In a July 2014 complaint, Andrew Rector alleged that he was disparaged during the broadcast of an April 13 game from Yankee Stadium. Rector, 27, sued Major League Baseball, the Yankees, ESPN, and announcers Dan Shulman and John Kruk for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. 
  
 During the fourth inning of the ballgame, an ESPN camera showed Rector sleeping in his second-row seat in the ballpark’s lower level. Shulman referred to the snoozing fan as “oblivious,” while Kruk commented that the stadium was “not the place you come to sleep.” 
  
 While Rector’s lawsuit alleged that he was subjected to an “unending verbal crusade” by the ESPN duo, the assorted putdowns referred to in the complaint actually appeared in the comment sections of online articles about Rector nodding off during the game. Two comments cited in the lawsuit referred to Rector as a “fatty cow that needs two seats” and a “confused disgusted and socially bankrupt individual.” 
  
 In a decision issued last month, Judge Julia Rodriguez ruled that Shulman and Kruk made none of the nasty comments attributed to them in Rector’s complaint, adding that “none of the comments actually made by the announcers” was defamatory or false. Rodriguez added that, “At worst, the announcers’ comments might be considered to be loose, figurative or hyperbolic statements which are not actionable.” 
  
 In seeking the dismissal of Rector’s lawsuit, an attorney representing ESPN and the other defendants quoted a Yankee legend in one court filing. Arguing that Shulman and Kruk never defamed Rector, lawyer Thomas Sullivan noted that Yogi Berra once actually said, “I really didn’t say everything I said.” 
  
 Addressing Rector’s contention that the defendants “set the stage” for others to defame him, Judge Rodriguez (seen at right) dismissed that claim, ruling that Rector’s lawyer Valentine Okwara cited no “legal authority upon which any of the defendants may be held liable for Plaintiff’s alleged injuries.” 
  
 Rector, a used car salesman, claimed in a court affidavit filed earlier this year that the ESPN broadcast--which he termed “bullying”--caused “enormous grief and embarrassment and affected my ability to work and go about my daily activity.” He added that, “people have avoided dealing with me. Insurance companies now consider me a high risk.” (9 pages) ||||| One baseball fan's desire to make money for sleeping has been put to bed by a judge who says he had no legal basis to sue the ESPN announcers who made fun of him for dozing off during a game. 
  
 Andrew Rector, a used car salesman from the Bronx, was caught sleeping in his seat by a camera during a game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in April last year. 
  
 The drowsy fan later made national headlines by suing MLB Advanced Media, the Yankees, ESPN and announcing team Dan Schulman and Jon Kruk for $10million after they discussed his unusual behavior. 
  
 However, the defamation lawsuit was dismissed by Bronx judge Julia Rodriguez late last month after she found that he did not have grounds to sue. 
  
 Andrew Rector, a New York Yankees fan who was caught on camera dozing off during Sunday Night Baseball, has had his defamation suit against ESPN and its announcers dismissed 
  
 Bronx judge Julia Rodriguez (right) said that announcers Dan Schulman (left, left) and John Kruk (left, right) did not make any of the alleged defamatory statements, which came from Internet commenters 
  
 Rector, who was greeted by a round of applause from the stadium when he woke up, said he suffered 'mental anguish' because of the ordeal. 
  
 He alleged in his suit that the broadcasters published statements against him that allegedly called him a 'fatty cow', 'stupid', 'socially bankrupt' and a 'symbol of failure'. 
  
 Though Schulman and Kruk said none of those words, Rector's suit said that the announcers and ESPN 'set the stage' for him to be defamed by Internet users who did. 
  
 While the announcers made fun of Rector, they questioned whether he and the man sitting next to him knew each other and suggested that he would probably have neck pain. 
  
 Video of him sleeping was also posted by MLB Advanced Media and put on YouTube. 
  
 The clip was replayed on ESPN and Rector experienced the kind of vile derision that Internet commenters are known for. 
  
 A lawyer for Rector, who was the subject of a media frenzy last year when the suit was announced, said that he is still deciding whether to appeal the dismissal 
  
 However, the case gathered attention last summer, with Rector eventually appearing with Matt Lauer on Today and saying 'I have a reputation too'. 
  
 Last year many lawyers had said that the case was on weak legal footing, 
  
 Dismissing the suit, Rodriguez said that 'a defendant cannot be found liable for a libelous or defamatory statement that they did not publish'. 
  
 In responding to the claim, defense lawyer Thomas Sullivan quoted the recently departed Yogi Berra's famous quotation, 'I really didn’t say everything I said', according to The Smoking Gun. 
  
 Rector's Queens-based lawyer Valentine Okwara told Daily Mail Online that Rector has not yet decided whether to appeal. |||||
Output:
A 27-year-old New York Yankees fan who sued after ESPN cameras caught him napping during a game in April 2014 had his $10 million defamation lawsuit thrown out by a judge last month, the Smoking Gun reports. Not even a second-row seat and a matchup with the hated Boston Red Sox could keep Andrew Rector awake during that April game. His fourth-inning doze was broadcast on ESPN and commented on by its announcers. Three months later, Rector sued ESPN, MLB, the Yankees, and the two announcers "for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress," claiming he was subjected to an "unending verbal crusade" by the announcers. He's now lost the case, however: "You snooze, you lose," is how the Daily News sums things up. The Smoking Gun reports there was one major problem with Rector's lawsuit: The insults he attributed to the announcers actually came from online comment sections, where he was called things like "fatty cow" and "socially bankrupt," according to his lawsuit. In fact, his suit failed to cite any of the things the announcers actually did say, none of which the judge found to be defamatory anyway. “At worst, the announcers’ comments might be considered to be loose, figurative or hyperbolic," wrote Judge Julia Rodriguez. Furthermore the judge stated Rector's lawyer failed to supply a legal reason why any of the parties Rector sued would legally be responsible for what the Internet says about him. Rector's lawyer tells Daily Mail Online that his client hasn't decided whether to appeal. (Another unusual NYC suit: A man sued for every penny on Earth, and then some.)
