Erik Spoelstra, yes, Erik Spoelstra has some explaining to do. On Monday, Craig Sager, who is still recovering from acute myeloid leukemia, made an appearance on the Marc Hochman Show with Zach Krantz to discuss his partnership with Chideo to support the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In addition to Chris Bosh's current health situation, Sager dropped an interesting little nugget of important information.  

Per CBS Miami:


“This is the Miami Heat organization, they’re very supportive of me and I talked to all your guys down there,” Sager said on 560 WQAM. “Coach Spoelstra was sending me care packages from Hooters. So I know that Chris is in good hands, he has a great support system down there, and he will make it through.”

To that, we say...

What goes into a care package from Hooters? And, follow up question, how did Spoelstra know that this existed? And one more question, how do we get one? Unfortunately, there was no follow-up to that vital piece of information. Anyway, Spo, we need answers!
