105.3 The Fan

Dallas/Fort Worth 105.3 The Fans’, RJ Choppy was so sure that Tim Tebow would get the call up last season that he made a bet with his radio partner Shan Shariff. Choppy, would EAT, yes eat a Tebow football card if he didnt get the call up to the Majors… Well we all know that call never came.

RJ, with plenty of condiments, kept his side of the bet and ate up,

105.3 The Fan

going with a Score football card, instead of the original Chrome card that was chosen.  Eric Norton, host of Beckett Medias’ Fatpacks show with Eric and Paul was in studio to watch the meal, and also break the news to RJ that Panini was jumping on board to make a digital Instant card of the big event.

105.3 The Fan posted the video to there Facebook page, click here to check it out. 

New School with Shan and R.J. can be heard weekdays, 5:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. on 105.3 The Fan.
