Indeed. :(

I like Wilbon quite a bit. Easily one of my favorite ESPN personalities. Prayers for a quick and complete recovery.

As long as he's okay, I think it would be funny if a doctor was talking to him, somebody came up and started talking to the doctor and the doctor told Wilbon "pardon the interruption".:D :D

how old is he? looks to me like mid to late 40's? early 50's?

prayer sent for a quick recovery

One of a very,very small group of respectable media members who work for ESPN (And overall for the national media as well). They were joking around a bit this afternoon on PTI about Wilbon so I assume he'll be just fine.

I actually am one of the few that likes Kornheiser on MNF, but I agree that their shows are great...much better than Jim Rome or Stephen A.

Mike and Mike said that he could possibly be back at work TODAY!

well, if they were just joking around and Wilbon wasn't doing well, that would be pretty mean-sprited don't you think?

I can't stand Screamin' A, Scott Van Pelt, or most of the other guys on Sportscenter nowadays. I miss the days of Kenny Mayne being on everynight at 5.

I'm partial to John Anderson and Robert Flores. I still remember Flores from his days on KWTX CBS10 in Waco. Even back then you knew the guy would wind up making it big one day.
