Great PTI Host M.I.A. w/ UPDATE

Okay, Tony Kornheiser, co-host of Pardon the Interruption, has been on "vacation" for well over a month and maybe even two months if you count all the time PTI doesn't air because of poker, racing and golf. This show delicately balances older men's frustrated aloof-ness and distance from contemporary culture with quality sports analysis.

Kornheiser is the master of that endearing, old-man grouchiness. Without Kornheiser this show suffers, which isn't to say that I don't like Wilbon, the other co-host, or Dan LeBatard, Kornheiser's substitute. But I am suffering just trying to watch it, especially when Wilbon decides to take a day off too. Its bad enough the show is somewhat boring, not through their own doing, but because baseball lingers on forever with its prima donna players hogging up sports news all summer long. At least, I could pacify my boredom with the NFL off-season and the MLB penant race with the rantings and ravings of a cool, old dude.

Long story short, where is Tony Kornheiser? PTI needs him. And I think I'm suffering withdrawal.

If anyone knows drop me an email or comment. **Eyes tear up**

**UPDATE**
Kornheiser is easing into his position as co-host of Monday Night Football on ESPN; hence, the absences from PTI.
