I wonder if there was a disturbing pattern of behavior over the last several months ultimately cost Dan Bernstein his job at 670 AM The SCORE today. After all, Bernstein had been a host at WSCR for 30 years.

Earlier in the week, this latest social media spat cost Bernstein his seat on the Board of Directors of Camp One Step Children's Oncology Services, a charity that was near & dear to Dan.

It wasn't that long ago when Barstool Eddie called Bernstein by his last name and Dan got very upset about it.

What remains to be seen is whether The SCORE will rename its midday show as "Harris & Rahimi", referring to Bernstein's most recent co-host Marshall Harris & Leila Rahimi who had co-hosted in Bernstein's absence all week. Will Harris end up flying solo, much like Bernstein himself did from time to time? Will The SCORE hire a new host possibly outside the Chicago market?

Lots of questions. Very few answers at this point.

Immediate reaction to the end of Dan Bernstein from one of Bernstein's now former co-workers who is live on 670 AM The SCORE as I type this.

From @JeffAgrest on Twitter/X:

Matt Spiegel on the air: "We said goodbye to one of the most influential and impactful hosts. Dan Bernstein is gone, and we won't shy away from discussing him. We've been advised not to discuss the events of the past week, but we won't shy away from talking about Bernstein."

Leila Rahimi, who filled in for Dan Bernstein all last week when Bernstein was originally suspended, is co-hosting with Marshall Harris this morning.

670 AM The SCORE has not only scrubbed Bernstein's bio & columns from its Website, they have also tentatively renamed the 10A-2P weekday time slot as "SCORE Middays".

It remains to be heard how long it'll be named "SCORE Middays", let alone if Rahimi has a chance to become the permanent replacement.

Interestingly enough, it's still unclear why Rahimi left NBC 5 a few months ago.
