You gotta give Sager credit for turning nothing into something with Popovich. Even got the guy to smile once or twice.

Sager's been wearing the colorful suits since he started out a weatherman back in the 70's. A rather shrewd move that made him stand out and it eventually became his trademark. (However, unlike Frazier, the crazy suits are just for TV.) To me, he's always been a pleasing presence (for a sideline reporter, a job that…

Wakefield is a piece of shit who so wants to make a name for himself he is trying (and succeeding to a small degree) to actively harm children. For example, cases of measles in the US were effectively zero for decades. Now it's making a small comeback in certain pockets where, surprise, a number of parents are…

The start of those drums always got a burst of applause opening day, it was practically a reflex response. The lack of it was like a gaping hole (and, I would imagine, an obsessive compulsive's nightmare.)

He also likes repeating things.

"Oh, this is probably some Hollywood prank, like on the set of Ocean's 12 when I put that snake in George Clooney's bed. I was not in the movie."

"There's a garbage bag in the hall with a reef shark in it. Just put him in the tub with a reef."

Blah blah blah. Rapateta…

I know he would love to break the fourth wall at the funeral. "I guess I was wrong when I said I wouldn't want to be seen dead in that suit."
