Sid Rosenberg’s New Gig: No Room for Error
Zero. That’s the number of chances radio sports commentator Sid Rosenberg has if he f***s up again.
Rosenberg was recently let go from his cushy radio job in South Florida after police found him sleeping behind the wheel of his automobile inebriated and parked in the middle of a main street. A Costa Rican bookmaker also accused the radio host of owing substantial gambling debts.
Now he’s back at work at WQAM-560 AM in West Palm Beach, Florida.
There are conditions to his new employment.
“One small minor incident and he is gone,” an on air talent told Gossip Extra. “That’s why they’re putting him on morning drive, to keep him out of strip-bars and casinos.”
No word yet on whether Rosenberg has paid up those reported $44500 worth of gambling debts.
“We can’t sue Sid since what we do is illegal in the United States,” 1BetVegas.com rep Frank Soviero said recently at Gulfstream Park. “I’ve tried everything. He comes up with 100 bucks here and there, and he gives me a big hug.
“It ticks me off because I talked my boss into giving Sid a few chances. And I’ve seen [my boss] do things when he gets mad.”
