Dan Bernstein's Shock Departure from 670 The Score
So, this is crazy. Longtime Chicago sports radio host Dan Bernstein – you know, from "Boers and Bernstein"? – got fired from 670 The Score on March 21st, 2025. Nearly three decades at the station, poof, gone. All because of a social media meltdown. Seriously.
A Fishy Situation Turns Toxic
It all started with a picture. Bernstein posted a photo of a massive northern pike he’d caught. Seems harmless, right? Wrong. A follower called him out, saying it was a pregnant female and he should have released it. What happened next? A total blow-up. Bernstein threatened to dox the guy – to reveal all his personal information, including his kids' – a serious doxing threat. This wasn't just an argument; it was a potential legal nightmare.
You know how sometimes things just spiral? This did. Major backlash ensued. Immediate suspension. And then…the firing.
The Fallout: More Than Just a Job Loss
Losing his job at 670 The Score was a huge hit, obviously. But it didn’t stop there. He also lost his spot on the board of Camp One Step, a children's cancer charity. Ouch. This wasn't Bernstein's first rodeo with controversy either. He's had run-ins before – a pretty famous one with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who, not surprisingly, had some choice words after hearing about the firing.
A Legacy of Contradictions
Bernstein had a huge following. "Boers and Bernstein" had fantastic ratings for years. But his confrontational style often overshadowed his talent. Honestly, who saw this coming? His departure really highlights how much our online behavior matters, especially when you’re a public figure. This whole thing is a stark reminder about responsible social media use.
What Now for 670 The Score?
The station's scrambling to figure things out. The midday show's future is up in the air. Finding a replacement co-host for Marshall Harris is going to be tough. They had a really good thing going for a long time. Bernstein’s legacy at 670 The Score is definitely…complicated. A mix of huge success and some really bad judgment calls. It's going to leave a mark on Chicago sports radio for sure.
