'Sunday Ticket' judge voices frustrations with case

The federal judge overseeing the class-action lawsuit by "Sunday Ticket" subscribers against the NFL expressed frustration with the plaintiffs' attorneys, citing complex proceedings. The lawsuit claims the NFL violated antitrust laws by selling the Sunday games package at an inflated price through limited distribution. The NFL argues its broadcasting rights exemption justifies the sales model. Testimony from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus highlighted concerns over market exclusivity and pricing. The case could result in damages up to $21 billion. The judge hinted at potential dismissal due to insufficient evidence. Testimony continues with closing statements expected soon.
