Radio host fired after tweeting he'd pay for Miami to 'take out' player
Former Miami defensive lineman Dan Sileo was fired as a sports radio host on Monday, one day after he tweeted he'd pay $1,000 to any Hurricane who 'takes out' a Florida.
WMEN, the South Florida-based radio station Sileo worked for, said the now-deleted tweet has 'no place in sports. Sileo said he only intended the tweet as a joke.
Sileo has been criticized for on-air incidents in the past at other stations, including when he said last year he wanted Miami defenders to 'pull a knife' on quarterbacks who run on them, and did not respond to a request for comment. He played for the Hurricanes in the mid-1980s and appeared in 10 NFL games with Tampa Bay in 1987.
