RIP Craig Sager

Submitted by ATC on
https://www.google.com/search?q=craig+sager&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&… Craig Sager was the first to offer an early morning Saturday football show...... well before the genesis of ESPN gameday. EDIT: It used to be hell Saturday morning waiting until noon for football.....then came along Craig Sager hosting "Sager Says" on SuperStation TBS. Unlike several hosts, he wasn't provocative and focused on the story rather than attempting to be the story. .....*interesting note, He served as Northwesterns Willie the Wildcat mascot as an undergraduate.

I loved Sager.  Never took himself too seriously.  Wore the most ridiculous suits I have ever seen.  Seemed like one of the good guys.  BOO on you 2016.

You tried to take my Dad with the same cruel Leukemia, but he kicked your ass.  Prayers and love to the Sager family and all those who really knew him.

Why are all these people dying?

Why do people die?

Why does everyone have to die?

Well I, for one, don't think they do! Look at the evidence, of allllllllllllll of the people ever born in alllllllllllll of human history, about HALF of them are STILL fucking living right this very second! Yes, people have lived and died before sometimes, but what, you think everyone's about to just start dropping like flies?

7 billion people and you're seriously betting that ALL of them are gonna die??? I find that preposterous! 

Goodbye Craig (Even though you're feeding into the conspiracy theory that we're all going to die!)

almost every week for the past couple months. Death sucks but without it new generations would never get to enjoy the earth! Too bad everyone just cannot live to be over 80 in good health.

RIP, Craig,  you were one of the good guys.

My stepdad is going to be really bummed.  He quite liked Sager and got a kick out of his ridiculous suits.

As somebody who also has the C word and just today got good news (a previous test that came back poorly was retaken and the results were much better) I feel real bad for his family.

It's a terrible, terrible desease.

Praying for my Mgobro brethren. Hang in there, please! Make everyday a good day for us. No matter what just keep fighting! My favorite cousin left me right after he graduated from high school and I'm still not healed from it, in 1989.

Wow - I haven't followed the NBA like I used to and had no idea he'd been battling cancer.

I'll never forget his amazing sport coats.  RIP.

Mannn, it's a testament to the kind of person he was when everybody who was associated with him will sorely miss him. I was impressed with all the heartfelt well wishes he got from everybody in the NBA. Craig was loved.
