Craig Sager's family drama is apparently just as colorful as the suits the famed sports broadcaster was famous for donning.
Sager, known for his NBA sidelining reporting on TNT, died in December 2016 at the age of 65 after a long battle with leukemia. But more than a year later, his son Craig Sager Jr., revealed he and his two siblings were “100% excluded” from their father’s will.“Nothing like getting served, pestered by Sherrifs & taken to court over a Will that myself and my sisters are not only 100% excluded from but do not even have any interest in contesting in the first place. Thanks Dad,” Sager Jr. tweeted Tuesday.Sager’s daughter, Kacy Sager, also chimed in shortly after, saying she supported her brother for “finally coming clean about some of the dumbassery” they have been dealing with.
“Family is everything, and it's incredibly painful to know others are trying to erase you from it,” she tweeted. “Not gonna let it ruin our 2018 though :)”The apparent feud stemmed from drama surrounding Sager’s second wife, Stacy Sager.
Brenna Simon, Sager Jr.’s ex-girlfriend, tweeted there was tension between Stacy Sager and the late broadcaster’s three eldest children. Kacy Sager backed up Simon’s account.“Once (still married) Craig met this POS [Stacy], she’s all that mattered..Krista [Sager II and Kacy Sager’s sister] is getting married and was left nothing,” Simon tweeted Tuesday afternoon, referring to Craig II and Kacy’s sister. “Also she was roughly my age when she shacked up with married Sr. I’m Jr’s ex so it’s not my place to comment but I hate that woman so much my head is about to explode.”
Sager Jr. tweeted Wednesday he never “contended anything to do with a will” because he expected the outcome.“It is what it is. We put our heads down & moved the hell on. But 2018 & I’m called on vacation bc another Sheriff came by,” Sager II tweeted. “I’m not in it + I’m not fighting = Leave me alone!”
Kacy Sager tweeted “things were complicated” in the family but said she still loved her father despite the drama. She added she never intended to change anyone’s view of her father.
Sager had five children from two marriages. His eldest children had not previously revealed any of the family tension. Sager Jr. previously wrote an article for sports illustrated saying he was “proud of every second” he spent with his father.

totally agree - I will add that there is nothing worse than a c$nt that comes along and is able to coerce a man to somehow forget about his family (assuming his kids love him and he loves them) - I fucken hate women like this - Sager seemed like such a great person that I would assume this second wife personally wrote the will herself

Reading up on all of this it turns out Sager left his wife and family when he was 49 for a 24 year old Chicago Bulls dancer that he eventually married and had a couple kids with. Sager Jr. was the one who spent all that time donating bone marrow for his father's treatments and ended up being left out of the will along with his other siblings from the original marriage. It sure sounds like Sager wasn't exactly the saint they made him out to be with all those tributes and such.

Then this would make him "not some Saint".

There are two or more sides to every story, and there are younger woman who divide a man from everything he knew, I've seen this first hand, and their are children who deserve to be left out. However, a son giving up bone marrow to save his father does not deserve to be left out

my guess is that they gave pops and his new wife the cold shoulder for a few years out of loyalty to their mom and that led to the new will

but damn....still seems like new chick is a major bitch.....and Craig seems like he was pussy whipped and weak minded.....

bone marrow donation is no joke.....his son clearly moved on and wanted to do anything for his dad that he could....why couldnt Craig?

i am on the national registry and would do it for a stranger if/when I am a match, but it shouldn't be taken lightly

do something positive today and think about joining....what a legacy it would be to help save someone's life

I don't know how the law works there..But I knew a wealthy man, owned lots of property etc..he had no children but 2 younger brothers and no wife... One of his brothers took him to a lawyer to get a living will drawn up.. He left him everything except 1 dollar.. It was challenged in court and the other brother got a sizable hunk of the estate rather than the 1 dollar. Laws and lawyers make money from each other. It doesn't end at death sometimes.

Kids are not entitled to the money. And Sr wasn't entitled to Jrs bone marrow. People get to decide what to dobwith their own property.
Guessing she made him happy and they didn't.
