Longtime Pardon the Interruption co-host Michael Wilbon wasn’t afraid to shade one of his fellow ESPN broadcasters during Wednesday’s show.
We’ll let you guess who it was. A hint: he doesn’t often wear a suit.
As Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser discussed LIV golfers potentially giving their salaries up before merging with the PGA, Wilbon discussed why he would detest someone asking him to do the same.
He wanted to use saltier language on the program to make his point, but he decided to rib Pat McAfee while talking about his self-censorship.
“I guess that if I wore a black tank top, that I could get away with those words on this show,” Wilbon quipped to Kornheiser on the broadcast.

Of course, that is a direct jab at McAfee for his less-than-stellar reputation for swearing on his daily ESPN show, which is frowned upon in daily television of any sort.
We’re sure McAfee will catch wind of this and respond, as Wilbon didn’t seem afraid to get a dig in at his foul-mouthed ESPN co-worker.
