The former ESPN anchor David Pollack shocked his fans on Monday when he revealed that his wife was set to undergo brain surgery.

The 42-year-old host, who was fired by ESPN in 2023, revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that his wife Lindsey Pollack, was going under the knife as she battles brain cancer.

He asked his fans for their ‘prayers’ ahead of the grueling ordeal.

‘I do not share much of my personal life on social media but today is gonna be different,’ he began his post. ‘If you are the praying type please lift up my wife Lindsey. She has brain cancer and surgery is Wednesday at Duke. 

Pollack — who stirred up controversy in the past by saying that women should not be able to serve on the College Football Playoff selection committee — added that he was ‘So thankful to serve a loving God that meets us in our struggles!’
