    Craig Sager is fighting leukemia...

    Sad news.

    What are the NBA playoffs without legendary sideline reporter Craig Sager?

    Apparently we are about to find out.

    Wow, Craig Sager was at the plate interviewing Hank Aaron after he hit his historic 715th homerun.

    This guy has been around forever.

    Those were the days. I remember watching All In The Family and then tuning into Hank Aron's historic night.

    Sager is a bad ass, he's got this.

    He was at the San Antonio NCAA site I was at for the tourney this year. He's good people. He walked around before and in between games either with his regular mic or a prop and pretty much took selfies with anyone who asked.

    Could never see Craig Sager without bringing up a vision of Heywood "Woody" Hale Broun.
    Both were always a treat for me....They were always interesting sartorially and journalistically.

    Sager is the man. I saw him a couple of times walking around downtown Miami. He must get some of his suits from someone down there.

    A legend in the business. Does it the best despite his profession seemingly being dominated by the opposite sex.

    Get well soon.

    I've been very busy, Seaweed.

    I've been keeping myself occupied by watching the first 32 seasons of the Price is Right on DVD.

    I plan on being in attendance for a taping in a few months, and I need to know every nuance of the game.

    Like the great John Wooden said, "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail".

    I knew there had to be a valid reason. It was either you were dead, or you were watching the first 32 seasons of the Price is Right. Good to see you back. It is like a breath of fresh air.
