Steinberg's Sager Interview Will Change Your Life (And His Thong Will Give You Nightmares)

I'm a frequent abuser of hyperbole, but I think I can legitimately qualify Dan Steinberg's interview with Craig Sager, posted this morning at the Bog, as the best thing the internet will see this month. I would go with "today" but that's just obvious and I don't want to insult Dan and I'd go "4eva" but the internet is a fickle beast. Much like Craig Sager.

There's so much to choose from that I'm tempted to blockquote the entire thing -- he talks about being a college mascot, trampoline dunking, Hooters, hot blondes, his incredibly hot and young wife, getting hammered -- but the following exchange, re: Sager's thong, probably sums it up the best. (Yes, I meant to type "Sager's thong"; they're discussing how hard it is for him to simplify his wardrobe in Beijing).

There's no way to accent it at all?

The only thing I can do is have this [belt] and have a matching thong. That's about the only thing I can do.

Do you have a matching thong? [laughing]

Yeah! I'm not going to show it to you though.

You really do? [staring]

Yeah, but I'm not going to show it to you.

Why would you have a matching thong? [horrified]

Because you've gotta be excited!

Does it have to be blue, though?

Yeah. I brought all sorts of different underwear that match my shirt. That's the only thing I can do.

I mean, wow. Just ... wow.

That "really?" feeling permeated my stomach and brain throughout the entire article while I read it. And I'm several thousand miles away reading, so I can't imagine what Steinberg was thinking as this happened.

Seriously, take the time to click over and read it. It will change your life. Or at the very least, how you think about Craig Sager. He is not, in fact, the goob that he appears to be. Rather, he is married to a hot, blonde former cheerleader for the Bulls and has an obsession with Bud Light, blondes and the restaurant Hooters.
