Tortious interference is a tough one.
The bar varies from state-to-state, but I think I remember finding CA's was on the tougher end of the spectrum.
Specifically, if the interferer had a legitimate business justification for interfering -- other than, for example, to spite Jeff Fisher or screw the Titans -- you may not win. Because SC and the Titans aren't competitors, that can also make it tough.
Pola himself may be screwed, however.
