The longtime Cleveland sports fixture, who has been with the station since 2012 and hosts The Tony Rizzo Show and co-hosts The Really Big Show alongside Aaron Goldhammer and Chris Oldach, announced in his return that he’d been away after suffering a “major heart attack. ” “I got bagels for my mom.
I drove them out to Middleburg Heights, and I came home,” said Rizzo in his return to the airwaves . “I got back to my home at 1130 and my chest siezed up, and I couldn’t breathe. I had a heart attack, a major heart attack.
I knew something was really wrong. Because I’d never felt like that before in my life. “ I couldn’t breathe, chest burning.
Knew something was really, really wrong. I had never felt like that in my life. And I was really scared, really scared.
