I Thought Craig Sager’s Suit Was Reserved And Tasteful

By Eamonn Brennan

In the above clip, you’ll see Kevin Garnett criticizing Craig Sager. Actually, “criticizing” really isn’t the word. More like “destroying.” I actually sort of feel bad for Sager. Sure, he knows what he’s getting himself into with those suits, and I’m sure he thought this interview was hilarious, but come on, Kevin. Don’t hate the man’s style like that. No one rips on your for having ugly basketball shoes. I actually prefer Sager’s red gators.

Anyway, the point of this post is to celebrate another bit of “Inside The NBA” information: Charles Barkley will be making his return to the set tomorrow night. Of course, he will have to do a very solemn apology thing that, knowing Charles Barkley, he’ll only barely be sincere about, but once that’s over it’s back to normal: Charles and Kenny ripping on each other; Charles saying things that barely make sense; funny photoshops by the TNT staff flashing across the screen; Ernie Johnson keeping a lid on the entire thing. It’s a beautiful thing, and I can’t wait.

Craig Sager Tells Us About Ted Turner and Jane Fonda’s Weekend Tryst

By Ryan Corazza

Strangely, TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager is not wearing a flashy suit in Pete McMurray’s interview with him here — perhaps we felt it would break our camera. (But don’t worry: we have a flashy intro title screen to make up for it!)

However, he is telling us a most excellent story about flying to Seattle in 1989 to promote the Goodwill Games with Ted Turner, until Turner decided to get off the plane in Denver to hang out with Jane Fonda. Naked. Most likely touching each other’s bathing suit areas.

So yeah, watch the video.
