He will not be on the air for two days as Curtis Stevenson will fill in as midday host. Sileo lost his job as Miami Hurricanes football postgame studio analyst after one season two weeks ago.

    He played for the University of Miami Hurricanes football team during the mid-1980's as a defensive lineman. Sileo had a stint as a sports host on Fox Sports Radio. He would host a late morning shift at WFXJ-AM in Jacksonville. He was a sports commentator on WJRR-FM in Orlando. Sileo hosted a morning show on several Clear Channel Orlando stations that included WQTM-AM, WFLF-AM and WYGM-AM.
