omg Rest in Peace, Alex. I honestly thought you were going to outlive us all. What a strong man. Don't ask if it can get worse, AJ. It just might and I'm not feeling particularly able to handle any more bad news right now. I caught this in the notice: Alex also told Levin he was seriously considering retirement before signing a contract extension. He seemed serious at the time ... naming 2 potential replacements: L.A. Kings announcer Alex Faust and CNN legal analyst Laura Coates. Do you or does anyone here know anything about these two? Especially, the CCN woman. The December 25th show will be the saddest Christmas present ever.
