Get Well Soon Wilbon

Michael Wilbon, columnist for The Washington Post and co-host of ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, was rushed to the hospital early Monday morning after complaining of chest pains. It was determined Wilbon suffered a minor heart attack, and after “doctors found a minor blockage in one of his arteries” they performed angioplasty. (link) Wilbon’s ailment became somewhat public knowledge when he went missing from his PTI desk Monday afternoon and the procedure was then confirmed Tuesday by ESPN.com. According to reports on PTI Tuesday and Wednesday, Wilbon is recovering nicely and already doing much better.

Anytime a person suffers a sudden heart attack it’s upsetting for friends and family. It’s especially shocking for the general public when that person has come into millions of living rooms every day for the past 6 years. What can I say, I’m addicted to PTI and I can’t go more than a day without watching it. Trust me, its one of the few things I watch that Al can’t stand. With that being said, here’s a heartfelt "Feel Better Soon" for Mr. Michael Wilbon. Lord knows the world can only take so much of Dan Le Batard on TV - BAM!

Just kidding Dan!
