Ah interesting ok, appreciate the insight. Makes me start questioning if someone from big East or heck even Cooley himself said something to Fanta, and Fanta squirmed and said I was duped, not my fault. I’d hope he has a little bit more of a spine than that, but who knows.Quote:

I find this whole thing to be too ridiculous to be real.
For starters, the documentary is broadcast worthy. This isn't some random fan. This person has to work in film or TV. It's just too well made. So, he's SOMEONE in media and/or entertainment.
Being that it has to be someone in the media, how can John Fanta and Jeff Goodman NOT know who it is?? Fanta was in the freakin' thing!! He's GOT to know who it is!! Goodman's DM's saying he's going to find him and expose him?? Those CAN'T be genuine!! How could he POSSIBLY not already know who it is when Fanta was just prominently featured in the damn thing??
Another red flag...
Jeff Goodman may be dumb, but he can't possibly be THAT dumb!! He works in the media himself. He HAS to know what does and does not constitute defamation. NOTHING in this video COMES CLOSE to it!! Even the statements about Cooley possibly having an affair were more than properly conveyed as being speculative rumors among the fans. The qualification of it being speculative rumor was so distinct, that it's another sign that the guy who made this movie has to work in either film or TV. And even if it did constitute defamation, which it didn't, Goodman has to be smart enough to know that it's a civil matter and not a criminal matter!! Telling him he's going to be sued AND end up in jail!!?? That's too stupid to be real.
So, my theory is that this is all a work. It's GOT to be!!! They have to know who it is, and they have to know what the actual laws are better than what they showed. I can't help but think this is all staged. They may be friends with the filmmaker and staged this whole thing as a way to get the movie over. I call BS!! This can't be real!! Not even Jeff Goodman is THIS stupid!!!
Who would have an affair with Ed Cooley? It's not like he is Bobby Petrino...

Wait, Georgetown has a board? I didn't know they had any fans. Interesting.Quote:
