Dan Bernstein Fired From 670 The Score: Doxing Threat Ends Long Career
Longtime Chicago sports radio host Dan Bernstein was fired from Audacy’s 670 The Score on March 21, 2025, following a social media incident involving a doxing threat. The announcement, made by station VP Mitch Rosen, ended Bernstein's nearly three-decade run at the station.
The Controversial Fishing Post
The controversy began with a seemingly innocuous photo of a large northern pike Bernstein had caught. A follower questioned his fishing practices, alleging the fish was a pregnant female that should have been released. What followed was a heated exchange where Bernstein threatened to reveal the follower's personal information, including their children's—a serious doxing threat. This led to immediate backlash and Bernstein's temporary suspension.
Fallout and Consequences
Bernstein’s actions had widespread consequences. Beyond his firing from 670 The Score, he was also removed from the board of Camp One Step, a children's cancer charity, due to the incident. This wasn't Bernstein's first brush with controversy; previous incidents, including a clash with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, added to his turbulent reputation. Portnoy, unsurprisingly, celebrated Bernstein's firing.
A Legacy of Controversy
While Bernstein enjoyed high ratings and a dedicated following for his years co-hosting "Boers and Bernstein," his confrontational style often overshadowed his talent. His departure highlights the increasing scrutiny of public figures' online conduct and the real-world consequences of social media interactions. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible online behavior, especially for those in the public eye.
What's Next for 670 The Score?
The station is currently updating its lineup, leaving the future of the midday show uncertain. Finding a replacement co-host for Marshall Harris may prove challenging, given the tradition of multiple hosts on weekday shows. Bernstein’s legacy at 670 The Score is a complex mix of success and controversy, leaving a lasting impact on Chicago sports radio.
