He died while playing hockey with his son. Son confirmed for emotionally scarred for life.

I just read an article that said he was awake and coherent on the gurney and asked his son to take a picture of him with the rink in the background before taking him away. Then he said "I'm good, I'll be fine" before being carted off.

[Salodin]

Omg what if he knew it was an attack and that he might not make it and was just giving his son a last happy memory with him...

[Astylla]

Right in the fucking feels. Reminds me of the last time I talked to my mom , she was in the hospital for a stroke and unknown issues and all she could focus on was asking me if I needed anything including money. I told her I was fine and she will be too. The next morning I got "the call" from my sister..

Craig Sager
Statement from Turner Sports president David Levy on the passing of Craig Sager:

“Craig Sager was a beloved member of the Turner family for more than three decades and he has been a true inspiration to all of us. There will never be another Craig Sager. His incredible talent, tireless work ethic and commitment to his craft took him all over the world covering sports.

“While he will be remembered fondly for his colorful attire and the TNT sideline interviews he conducted with NBA coaches and players, it’s the determination, grace and will to live he displayed during his battle with cancer that will be his lasting impact. Our thoughts and prayers are with Craig’s wife, Stacy, and the entire Sager family during this difficult time. We will forever be Sager Strong.”

As 2016 goes on, I wonder if the year is worse than most years, or if I'm finally old enough to care about the many people who die each and every year.

Growing old sucks.
