Costas paid tribute to Craig Sager on 'TNF'

NBC's Bob Costas took some time out of the Thursday Night Football broadcast to pay tribute to the late Craig Sager, who died on Thursday at the age of 65 after a long battle with cancer.

As always, Costas's words were eloquent and beautiful:

"In the best sense of the word, Craig was a character. He turned the role of a sideline reporter into something distinctive. First and most obviously with his, shall we say, unique wardrobe choices. But second, and more importantly, with his irrepressible good nature. The joy he conveyed was every bit as important as the information he conveyed. And we know we speak for so many of you when we convey to his family, his colleagues, and all who enjoyed his work for so long, our sympathies and our appreciation for the pleasure of his company."
