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.

Here's a video for anybody that missed it.

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.

What an awful tweet from that ***hole.

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.

Im glad hes ok, and like Quake said in the game thread, I just watched the video mk posted above and was laughing pretty hard. He really sounds like he just got **** faced before the game. Glad its nothing serious and hope hes better soon

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
