Taylor has admitted that early in his career, he had a problem controlling his aggression and was involved in some physical, comical incidents.

[6] Towards the end of his playing career, Taylor was approached to write a weekly column in the Sunday Herald newspaper.

[7][8] Taylor called the Friday night and either the Saturday or Sunday afternoon game for 3AW, alternating with Tony Leonard subject to commitments with the Seven Network.

3AW's General Manager, Shane Healy, stated that Taylor "would focus on his TV career and that 3AW would move forward in 2015 without his involvement".

[10] In 2017, Taylor replaced the retiring Dennis Cometti joining Bruce McAvaney as a commentator of Friday night while also doing Sunday afternoon games for Seven, while remaining calling Saturday afternoon games for Triple M.[11] Also in 2017, Taylor started a segment during the Channel Seven coverage called "Roaming Brian".

During this live segment he roves around in the winning teams' change rooms collecting ad-lib interviews with players.

Often catching them off-guard, Taylor manages to get some candid, off-the-cuff comments from players, coaches, relatives, and other AFL identities, which provide some entertaining moments for viewers.
