New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has settled a lawsuit that accused him of selling bogus "game-worn'' equipment to unsuspecting collectors as part of a long-running scam.
Jury selection was to have begun this week, but a death in the family of one of the attorneys had pushed that back to next Monday.
Eric Inselberg filed the lawsuit in 2014, saying two helmets purchased by Inselberg and two other plaintiffs -- including one purportedly used by Manning during the Giants' 2007-2008 Super Bowl season -- were bogus. Inselberg said photographic experts using a technique called "photomatching'' could not find evidence that the helmets were ever used in games.
