The National Law Journal, a sibling publication, reports on a lawyer in Washington, D.C., who, in a sensational federal civil suit filed in late June, claims to be James's father. (The NLJ picked up on a report from TMZ.)
Leicester Bryce Stovell, a former associate at Baker & Hostetler and new Baltimore Ravens jerseys & Block, accuses James's mother Gloria of engaging in a scheme with her son and their attorneys to cover up the identity of James's real father.

According to a profile of Stovell on his LinkedIn page, the D.C. solo practitioner previously spent 19 years at the SEC as a senior legal adviser in the division of investment management and office of the executive director. Before joining the agency in November 1983, he worked as an associate at Baker & Hostetler in Cleveland and Jenner & Block in Chicago. He left the SEC in October 2002 to launch his own practice.
A docket for Stovell's suit lists John Burlingame, Ravens jerseys the managing partner of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey's D.C. office, as counsel to Gloria James. When contacted by The Am Law Daily, Burlingame jokingly asked if we were calling about his two teenage volleyball-playing daughters, then referred all further requests for comment to Squire Sanders regional managing partner Frederick Nance, James's longtime lawyer.
Reed said that with the recovering hip it could be "October, November and December" before he is in "full-throttle game shape." Ravens football jerseys If he himself acknowledges that he could be missing out on that much of the season, what will the pay raise mean then? Under his existing contract, Reed gets 6 million dollars a season. Injuries are a part of the game and you do not get a pay cut if you get injured playing for a team. But you also do not get to ask for a pay raise. If Reed cannot play till December, he will only be there for 5 games. If there is a reason why a player should be paid more than 6 million dollars for 6 or something games, I at least have never heard one.
It does seem though Ed knows he is not getting a better deal while he is handicapped the way he is. "If the negotiations continue and we can do some things in the process, I'm going to welcome it," Reed said. He added that he is not going to be pressuring the Raven by calling them again, "my focus is to get myself back to 110 percent," he said. "I'm not making it a big deal," he said adding that it was something that needed to be taken care of.
Reed missed four games due to the hip injury last season but he returned later that season playing another three games, including two playoff games. Reed said that he still has quickness and if he could play for the Raven's he will 'smart it up a little bit' by using his mental abilities more than his physical abilities. He might just have to consider the physical aspect of his game that is currently suffering. A player like Reed could possibly even make do with a smarter instead of harder game play. Reed has an instinct for Football and if anyone could deliver a pay raise worthy performance with injuries, it would be Ed Reed.
