This week, news came out that my old friend and longtime Deadspin colleague Rick Chandler suffered a stroke at the beginning of this month. According to his sister and his friend Sam Player -- who informed me of Rick's illness by sending an email to "tips@deadspin.com;" thanks to Samer Kalaf and Tommy Craggs for making sure I knew -- it was a "significant" stroke, and that they "don't know how long it will be until he's able to respond or wake up essentially." He went out to get gas one morning, had a stroke, hit his head on the ground and then there it is, that's how it happens, just like that. He has been in the hospital for nearly four weeks.
