Ralph Lawler's Condition

Everyone was troubled by his slurred speech during the game against the Lakers, but subsequent tweets indicated it was food poisoning. Now this does not look good at all.

I hope Ralph isn't just trying to put on a good face.

According to Ben Bolch, Lawler was battling a flu.

I think he may have had another on-air stroke. Hope he is okay.

Hopefully the slurred speech were just him being exhausted from the food poisoning.

he's had one before?

I think he should see a neurologist. I'm quite concerned about him.

The one time he had it, Brian Sieman filled in for Lawler. Don't remember which game it was.

People like that are why I hate twitter, sites like this and the internet in general. People think it's cool to be an a-hole all the damn time! Keyboard warriors...

Glad Ralph is ok, he's up there on that list for legendary broadcasters here in LA. The slurred speech was not a good sign of whatever it was he was battling, but glad it was just some simple issues.

I thought he had one. Like I said, I don't remember much. All I knew was Brian Sieman filling in.

Oh I remember that game where Sieman filled in. I was wondering why he was doing the TV broadcast. I hope Ralph is ok, he's up there with the other LA greats like Hearn, Scully.

I'm upset that they haven't given him a statue beside Chick Hearn outside of the Staples Center
