Look, I know its easy to be a sympathetic figure and get all syrupy during a speech given whats happening to him, but motherfuck if he didn't nail it at the ESPY's. Makes bitching about an incompetent update chick or deposed board founder seem a little trite, if only for a night.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Only the most cynical would poo poo a guy who's dying. Seems like a genuinely good dude. I'll check out the Espy speech.

GO BEARS!!!

The ESPYs most popular moments are from people dying. I guess that is because they offer that public forum; I can't recall any of the other awards shows doing it on a yearly basis. And they don't have someone every year, but when they do it is a very visceral, impactful thing. I watched Jim Valvano's speech earlier today and I'm sure he was going through all sorts of stuff at the time, but to have a legacy that raised $150M+ in funds has to be something that is very comforting to the surviving family members. Most of the show is basically junk, but the Jimmy V award is still a must watch every year. Sager did great, and I hope for nothing but the best for him and his family.

Sager always cracked me up with his outfits, and I sympathize with his disease.
There are also a lot of poor people out there with cancer. He has a voice, and I applaud him for using it.
I'm not even trying to be playa hatin......but there are also children who can't even articulate what their cancer is doing to them.
