WILBON HAS HEART ATTACK
By MICHAEL STARR

January 30, 2008 -- MIKE Wilbon, co-host of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," suffered a minor heart attack on Monday and underwent an emergency angioplasty at a hospital in Arizona, officials say.

"He's still in the hospital resting," an ESPN spokesman said yesterday. There's no timetable for Wilbon's return to the air. Wilbon, 47, in Scottsdale for ESPN's Super Bowl coverage, felt tightness in his chest early Monday. Doctors discovered a blockage in one of the main arteries to the heart.

"PTI" will use substitute anchors in Wilbon's absence.

My prayers to Michael Wilbon for a fast and successful recovery. We watch him every night, and find him quite fair, knowledeable and funny.

Hopefully he is ok. I don't get to watch PTI that often, but I like it that he's a hockey fan. They are a good duo.
