- Chuck Swirsky criticized the remark on X before deleting his post that drew Silverman’s attention.
- On ESPN 1000’s Waddle and Silvy, Marc Silverman called Swirsky a “bad dude” and “rat” and alleged past unprofessional behavior dating to 2009 involving station management and guest bookings.
- Asked by the Chicago Sun-Times about Silverman’s comments, Swirsky declined to comment.
