Dan McNeil on Dan Bernstein’s firing: ‘It’s a mistake to think any unrest at 670 The Score delights me’

Back in 2020, long-time 670 The Score host Dan McNeil was let go after questioning on social media if Maria Taylor was an “NFL sideline reporter or host for the AVN annual awards presentation” based on her outfit.

There was further turmoil at the station this week, culminating in the firing of veteran host Dan Bernstein Friday following his threats against a social media critic. Some thought McNeil might take a victory lap to see his former station in the news for this negativity, given the way his tenure there ended, but he stated on X that’s not how he feels at all.

It’s a mistake to think any unrest at @670TheScore delights me. I was 30 when I laid the first breaks in ’92. Twice I quit. Once I was fired. And the place still holds a place deep in my heart. Best to @SpiegsAndHolmes , now the station’s only link to its ’90s DNA. #MyGuys

That came after another post where McNeil said Rosen “had no choice” and “social media provide America’s HR departments.”

@dan_bernstein is out at the Score, @MitchRosen670 announced 30 mins ago. Those mad at him, he had no choice. Social media provide America’s HR departments. Wishing DB the best. He knows he screwed the pooch.

McNeil’s exit from The Score had many celebrating, which was the case with Bernstein’s departure, too. In particular, Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy (who feuded with Bernstein last year) popped champagne following Bernstein’s exit, something he’s done around the departures of many he’s clashed with. Barstool’s Dan Katz was a bit more moderate with “I don’t care who gets fired, I don’t like seeing people lose their job,” but added, “He is a dick. He had like ten strikes in the last decade.”

But some, like former The Score host Danny Parkins, have come out in support of Bernstein.
