That's too bad. Everyone seemed to genuinely like him, even Pop.

In all the Verne Lunquist tributes, there was a story about how a young Craig Sager sent a demo tape and resume to just about everyone he could think of. Verne was the only one who responded to get in touch with him and give him pointers.

Luckily, this is a little easier to bear than it otherwise might be, given that 2016 has been very, very light on the celebrity deaths front.

That man was one tough sonofabitch. Beat cancer back twice. I hope they do tributes for him for the next two years.

The real question is which of his suits will they bury him in.

In college, I once went to the shop were he got his crazy shoes from in downtown Atlanta just for laughs. Of course he was there and had a couple of outrageous pairs. Crazy ass place (serving either pimps, and guys who wore size 15 and up), but he fit right in & seemed like a really nice guy. Damn.

This is wrong, but let's not have your poor thoughts shit on the legacy of Mr. Sager.

There's one in West Chicago and Batavia. And they make a great pan pizza. And Craig Sager is wonderful.

I think there's one in WC and on the river in Batavia. I've been to the one in Batavia twice, and it tasted like it was out of a can.

His son Craig JR shared that on Twitter a few days ago.

Where in Batavia?

Why am I asking you?

<checks internnetz>

That's where they are? That building seems to change hands every other week. If that's enough to bring a person to Batavia, I can only hope the plague is not far off.

I'd much rather eat the crapola at John's and have to talk to your bartender buddy 'Special Lurch'.

I'm moving to Batavia in the Spring. Board outing at Pal Joey's in honor of Sager?
