Dustin Fox, co-host of Afternoon Drive on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland, posted this morning on X that he’s been dealing with serious health issues. Fox, who won a BCS National Championship at Ohio State and played for both the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills, is also a college football analyst for ESPN.
In a since deleted tweet (Fox turned off his account on X), Fox said “thanks for the well wishes y’all. I’ll be fine. Just won’t be on the air for a little while. Gotta take care of my health.”
Fox has been a staple of The Fan’s afternoon show teaming with Nick Wilson weekdays from 2p-7p. He previously partnered in afternoons with Adam The Bull.
After revealing he’d be off the air for a while to address his health, social media provided an outpouring of support. Fox tweeted that unless you have been there, no one knows the trauma it takes on your brain and your family. He expressed his gratitude to the NFL for providing help, and later thanked ESPN for being supportive as well.
One company he was less kind to was his radio employer, Audacy. Fox said he hadn’t heard from anyone at the company. He then suggested he may no longer be an employee for them.
In his since deleted tweet Fox said, “So amazing to work for a company, ESPN, who cares about their employees. On the other hand, Audacy has not said a word. The VP of ESPN reached out to me not a word from Audacy. Thank you ESPN. I’m guessing Audacy will no longer be an employer. ESPN I love you.”
No word yet from 92.3 The Fan or Audacy regarding Fox’s status.
