He's 28

Wow, that's my son's age.

I would have guessed Fanra was a lot older than 28.

He's 28

Wow a year older than me. Would’ve thought he was ~35.

So Fanta just posted his dad had a heart attack and passed away yesterday at 56.

Awful, 56 is so young.

Fanta is a great guy and I'm sure his dad was incredibly proud of what he's accomplished. It's a shame he won't get to experience more with his son.

Georgetown-Providence might have already catapulted to #1 rivalry in the Big East

I'm curious if it stays that way. For this first game, you knew there was going to be blowback. Will it continue? Stay tuned!

 

[CL82]

Very sad news, may he rest in peace.

How old is Fanta? I never would have considered the possibility that he his father would be younger than me.

Super sorry to hear this. Fanta is a great guy.

Mind checking how many of those were discussions of legal topics like harassment or defamation, since everyone cares so much.

RIP Gerry Fanta up in heaven-you left us too soon

Fanta's gotta know better than to lend his name and face to strangers...

Why? The documentary was fine. And Fanta had 100% editorial authority.

Because the doc was biting the hand that feeds him. Fanta needs a relationship with the league and the coaches. Doesn't matter that the "documentary was fine", it's an outsider piece. Fanta's supposed to be an insider.

I don't know who to attribute this quote to but it's been said "this is America, you can sue a ham sandwich, doesn't mean you're going to win"

It's extremely strange that they're implying that Fanta thought he was working with the Big East? They don't actually say it, but they just say that the dude "misled those he interviewed by calling his company Big East Films." That reads like a line they put in to make it seem like their involvement was necessary. If John Fanta thought the one man production he was working with was affiliated with the Big East, a company he does actually do work with (he's a host for Big East Media Day for the Big East Digital Network among other things), I'd be gobsmacked.

It basically read like Goodman was reading a script from field of 68s legal department

Particularly if the ham sandwich has good counsel.

Goodman is unintentionally damaging Fanta's reputation with his gatekeeping nonsense. This is the stupid story that won't go away and Field of 68 keeps making it worse. Fanta did nothing wrong and neither did the guy who made the doc. This apology was more justification for his actions instead of an apology and he made sure to stick up for his buddy Cooley.

Fanta really should get away from these guys before they bring him down.

So the side piece that led to Cooley's wife pressing him to move to DC was Goodman?

Of course he didn't say it was an apology.

Do you think that Portnoy ran his tweet past his legal department too? Will this thread now have posters who wonder if Portnoy will get sued for defamation?

I don't know who to attribute this quote to but it's been said "this is America, you can sue a ham sandwich, doesn't mean you're going to win"

It's more commonly said that "you can indict a ham sandwich," which is criminal not civil law.

There's a gofundme in honor of John Fanta's father. Look it up and donate if you can.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

I have a hard time believing Fanta would have thought this was a legit BE conference production versus a fan made one like Goodman is insinuating.
