Can you trust a report from FS1’s Craig Carton? The cast of Shan & RJ on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas isn’t so sure.
Shan Shariff was excited by a report that the NFL was considering using a collection of boy bands from the 80s and 90s to fill the Super Bowl halftime show until RJ Choppy revealed the report came from Carton.
“Oh. Never mind,” said Shariff on Friday morning’s show.
Choppy thought there may be reason to believe the report. He made the case for Carton’s credibility.
“Because he’s in New York and he’s been there forever, he has some kind of connection with the office of the NFL.”
According to Carton’s report, a show similar to the West Coast 90s rap show that won rave reviews at Super Bowl LVI is in the works and would feature Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, 98 Degrees and a potential reunion of N*Sync among others.
“He’s being fraudulent,” co-host Bobby Belt joked, referencing Carton’s time in federal custody on fraud charges.
Shariff suggested that Carton’s reports have a history of not always being reliable. Choppy acknowledged that when Carton says this is what he has heard, there is no guarantee he didn’t hear it from someone on the street or at the golf course.
“He heard it from his cell mate,” quipped Belt.
