This woman suing the Dallas Cowboys claiming a bench outside their stadium burned her backside back in August the 2010.

The lawsuit claims the bench became dangerously hot when expose -- the hot sun posing an unreasonable risk of harm according to the suit.

Met the woman sustained severe third degree burns to her buttocks requiring skin graphs and other treatment.

So far no comment from the cowboys organization let's get to the lawyers on this one former prosecutor Doug burns.

Criminal defense attorney Randy is Ellen and you know Randy I'm sorry for the one with the -- -- but come on a lawsuit.

It's -- Act at.

Good we -- we.

I mean if there's so many places to go -- put aside for the jokes aside yes.

You have a situation.

Where first of all marble and the conductivity of marble is such.

Where the bench raw data marble I don't know what we -- we find wobble around swimming pool right.

We find normal people walk on marble and you can see for yourself take a pot boil it.

Put it on the -- put your hand there you're not going to get burned and by the way little common sense that.

If something is hot perhaps you wouldn't think about getting up because it takes longer than a split second to get a third degree -- no one else has been burned.

We talk about negligence we talk about reasonable care a -- a duty recognizing that you don't have any of that here Doug as a team have a responsibility.

To warn fans look a black bench in the hot August sun might be a little hot on your bottom.

Ran his arguments fine but.

There's another side to this.

It which is that joking aside it's a straight negligence case in other words if the marble is way too hot and they breached a duty of care not to sound like -- -- -- our duty of care not to have a bench that's gonna be so hot and by the way.

When all of the jokes and sarcasm subside she's climbing in the actual lawsuit third degree burns is on -- that's a very serious -- -- aren't so you know what the evidence is gonna do the talking if there's evidence -- of third degree burns and it's a serious matter just to get in on the act here do you think the judge turns the other cheek.

And -- -- this case out.

I think that it's going to be quite a bomber.

For this woman.

Unless she's planning on suing the sun.

For being too high a if this is -- like you know suing the Green Bay Packers were getting frostbite at Lambeau Field in January right.

I mean come on this this this is what happens lawsuit belongs unfortunately if you career and things putt you want in on this I'd just like -- out.

Take that as they Redskins fan I hope this is the only time this season we told about the catalyst for in this.

And as an Eagles fan I'm happy for the team to have a little bit of a distraction go birds bring your dog gentlemen thanks so much.
