Hrs soon after WFAN host Brandon Tierney abruptly cancelled an interview with Paul O’Neill thanks to his refusal to explore the Josh Donaldson controversy from the weekend, he fired off a tweet outlining his reasoning.
“My #1 priority is the display. The viewers. That will under no circumstances modify. When we acknowledge dictated phrases of what we can/are not able to ask–and we accept–all reliability is misplaced. That will under no circumstances transpire. To keep away from the largest matter of the weekend, basically simply cannot have it,” Tierney tweeted.
“No disrespect at all,” he included to the end of the message.
O’Neill was meant to seem on “Tiki and Tierney” — the mid-early morning show featuring Tierney and ex-Giants working again Tiki Barber — on Monday to promote his new e-book, “Swing and a Hit,” co-composed by Jack Curry.

Tierney produced the decision to pull the plug on the job interview stay on air, just after the duo experienced put in a greater part of the demonstrate talking about the situation prior to O’Neill was supposed to join.
“I explained, ‘We just cannot do the interview if that is the circumstance.’ I said, ‘Please convey to Paul, we will navigate this responsibly. We will not belabor it. But I just can't have Paul O’Neill on the present after we used an hour and 35 minutes speaking about Tim Anderson and Josh Donaldson and not check with him about what transpired,” Tierney mentioned at the time.
“That sucks. No disrespect to Paul. I love him. Actually, my 2nd all-time beloved Yankee. We have a duty to the clearly show.”
Donaldson was suspended Monday for one particular activity as a consequence of the remark, which was dubbed “racist” by White Sox manager Tony La Russa. Donaldson was also put on the COVID IL close to the exact same time the suspension was handed down.
