McNeil sent out the following tweet about ESPN's Maria Taylor, who was the sideline reporter for last night's game between the Steelers and Giants. Here's what he said:
The tweet stayed up for about 30 minutes before he deleted it. Here is Taylor's response:
Honestly McNeil was on borrowed time as it is. This was at least the 4th or 5th chance he has had at the Score and the show with him and Parkins was tough to listen to. A lot of meatball Chicago sports takes and more sports betting talk then was probably needed. McNeil would commonly admit on air to not watching the NBA (granted the Bulls haven't been great in years but still). And I've never been a big fan of Parkins to be honest. Part of the reason they even brought Danny Mac back was because of the uproar with the Kaep stuff a few years back and some of the complaints they got for Jason Goff's comments on the issues. They moved Bernstein to mid mornings (who was probably going to be moving at some point to that time slot with a kid in college and another in high school) and let go of Goff (who honestly ended up getting the best end of the deal anyway as he's since had a national weekend show on ESPN Radio and now has a role as a pre and postgame host for the Bulls on NBC Sports Chicago).
