Miami radio host Dan Sileo fired
A former Miami Hurricanes player and South Florida radio personality has been fired after he posted a bounty on a Florida State player on Twitter, following the Seminoles' 41-14 win over Miami on Saturday.
Dan Sileo, a defensive lineman for the Hurricanes in the late 1980s and an on-air personality for WMEN 640-AM in Miami until his termination Monday, posted a photo of Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan on his personal Twitter account with an offer of $1,000 to anyone who "takes this kid out."
After fans criticized the tweet, Sileo deleted it and suggested it had been a joke, but station management didn't accept the excuse.
"As a result of Dan Sileo's action on his personal Twitter account on November 3, 2013, WMEN has terminated his independent contractor relationship with the station," WMEN said in a statement released by executive producer Marc Eisenberg. "The ownership, staff, and management of WMEN 640 Sports do not condone his actions, which have no place in sports."
