105.3 The Fan is the radio home for the Dallas Cowboys. And while the partnership is an important one, morning hosts Shan Shariff and RJ Choppy don’t shy away from doing what needs to be done to cover the team thoroughly.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has filed a lawsuit against a woman he claims has attempted to extort him with sexual assault allegations. The suit claims the woman requested $100 million from Prescott to avoid bringing a lawsuit against him with allegations of sexual impropriety from 2017. Prescott’s counsel has denied accusations of any wrongdoing and launched a $1 million lawsuit against the woman.
On 105.3 The Fan Tuesday, K&C Masterpiece — hosted by Kevin Hageland, Cory Mageors, and Mike Bacsik — welcomed the attorney for the woman named in the suit by Prescott to their show.
In the interview, the attorney claimed that the Cowboys QB raped his client, and admitted the woman asked for $100 million from Prescott.
Wednesday morning, Shan & RJ reacted to the interview, with Shan Shariff admitting he enjoys these types of topics.
“We’re going to talk about the interview yesterday on the K&C Masterpiece,” said Shariff. “One of the very few things I’m proud of with this radio show, over 13 years, is the way that we handle these discussions. I almost get a sick excitement in a rush for these types of topics.”
The topic then turned into the decision for the station to air the interview, with Shariff claiming “people are losing their minds” over welcoming the accuser’s attorney to the air. Co-host RJ Choppy ultimately defended the decision.
“I don’t have a hardcore either or take I think it’s — we’re a new station, and it’s newsworthy, and that’s that, at the end of the day. That’s the bottom line,” said Choppy. “I don’t have a major problem with it.”
The two hosts have continued to defend the station on social media, arguing that 105.3 The Fan informed the Dallas Cowboys that they were going to air the conversation. They revealed that the franchise did not want them to air the interview, but they did so anyway.
Choppy argued with users on X that it shows they aren’t “in their pockets,” adding that letting the franchise know they were going to interview the attorney was a “professional courtesy.”
Additionally, Shariff has fired back at critics who believe Cowboys owner Jerry Jones intentionally asked the station to air the interview, calling them a “moron.”
