Get well Michael Wilbon

One of my favorite shows on television right now isn’t scripted and it isn’t on regular TV and not even primetime. It’s Pardon the Interruption on ESPN which is on every afternoon at 5:30pm EST.

To me, it’s like Oprah for men. They run down the list of the hot topics in sports and give awesome, quick and quality commentary on all of it. Tony Cornheiser and Michael Wilbon are two of my favorite sports personalities out there and both of them are great at what they do.

But with that being said, it appears that Michael Wilbon suffered possible minor heart attack early Monday morning and was taken to the hospital.

Tony let the viewers know that Michael had chest pains early that morning but was doing great.

From Sports Media Watch:

Wilbon, scheduled to cover the Super Bowl this week, “complained of chest pains to his wife who took him to the hospital. Doctors found minor blockage in his heart and performed an angioplasty, which successfully removed the blockage.” Wilbon is expected to return to his Scottsdale, Arizona home tomorrow. There is no word on whether he will continue covering the Super Bowl.

You can watch the video below where Tony mentions the incident on Monday’s PTI.

Get well soon Michael!
