True story, that dude is a real piece of crap in real life.
Gather around guys, it's story time.
So, Fanning, you were saying....
So i'm working one of his games right? He use to do some radio for 610, but was awful, so we canned him back in the day. This was before I was working there. 610 comes to me and they were like: "Fanning, we want you to cover the Miege game this Friday night, if they win, They're in the state championship". I'm like omg, here's my big break. Then the program director said: "oh ya, fanning. One more thing. We need you to call grunny and get an interview with him before the game". I'm like: "No big deal, I do this all the time". Well apparently I didn't realize he pretty much destroyed an office at entercom when he was fired. So here's the rookie trying to call grunny and get the deets for the game. Grunny doesn't answer, doesn't return calls, and doesn't email back. Well it gets to the big game and they win. I'm like omg I just had the call of my life, i'm going to go down to the field and get some audio from grunny, he must be excited. What does he do? WHAT DOES HE DO, YOU ASK? "Coach, Heath Fanning here with 610 sports, congratulations, how do you feel?" Grunny: "Oh your the guy! (slaps recorder out of my hand) Get out of my way, i've got bigger fish to talk to. Move along and get out of my way".
So bottom line of the story, why does fanning take PI'ing so well? I've been PI'd my whole life, bring it bitches.... Also, you don't know how hard it is to be an honest journalist in today's world you guise.
