Wilbon Leaving WaPo

Longtime WaPo sports columnist Michael Wilbon is leaving the Post to pursue his second life with ESPN/ABC full time.  Memo announcing Wilbon’s departure below: 

“In many respects this should come as no surprise to anyone here, but it doesn’t mean that making this announcement is any easier. The ESPN/ABC rocket ship that Michael Wilbon has been riding the past several years has finally left our orbit. Wilbon will soon be leaving the Post – a place he has called home for nearly 32 years – as he takes on an even greater role for his networks and their parent company, Disney.
