Jerk

Sometimes, the best advice a lawyer can give a client is to say: "I understand why you are pissed off. But suing over this is a really bad idea. Turn around, walk out of my office, go do something fun and relaxing, and tomorrow or the next day you will be glad you didn't go through with this."

Clearly, Randy Johnson needed a lawyer to tell him that. Instead, he found one who let him do this. Here (scroll down two or three items), courtesy of Sports Law Blog, are some additional details, including a link to the court filing via The Smoking Gun.

Considering how much money Johnson has made in his career, the amount he has paid over the years is shockingly low, I'd say. To sue to get some of it back is as monumentally stupid as it is sleazy, especially considering his behavior toward this child. But no one ever said pitch velocity directly correlates to character.
