Looks like Notre Dame Football just lost a few fans

Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis is going through a battle in court for an unspecified amount of money relating back to complications from gastric bypass surgery back in 2002, when he was an assistant with the New England Patriots.

Weis alleges in the lawsuit that Massachusetts General Hospital physicians Charles Ferguson and Richard Hodin acted negligently and left Weis so close to death that he received the Roman Catholic sacrament of last rites. He was in a coma for two weeks.

He is suing the two Massachusetts physicians for neglegence and was reportedly bleeding internally for about 30 hours as well as in a coma for two weeks. At the time, Weis weighed close to 350 pounds.

A nurse that took care of Weis in the hospital is going to testify and the prosecution is going to throw Patriots' QB Tom Brady in the mix as well.

It's pretty safe to say that Drs. Ferguson and Hodin will not be supporters of Notre Dame Football at this point. Who knows if they ever were, but this pretty much will seal the deal.
