Judge tosses Romo-backed Fan Expo claim

DALLAS -- If Tony Romo's fantasy-football themed convention is to win its court case against the NFL, then it will need a comeback.

On Monday, Judge Carl Ginsberg granted summary judgment to the NFL that throws out the tortious interference claim brought by the Romo-backed The Fan Expo, LLC, that led to the cancellation of the National Fantasy Football Convention in 2015.

"The NFL is gratified with the court's ruling, which was a careful analysis, and we believe it was the correct one," said attorney Thad Behrens, who represented the NFL.

The Fan Expo's attorneys, Michael Hurst and Julie Pettit, said they will file an appeal but they hope two other claims, including breach of contract, will head to a jury trial.
