Longtime Detroit sports reporter and radio personality Pat Caputo revealed a dire medical diagnosis in explaining his recent absence from the airwaves. "For those wondering where I've been: I have been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, commonly referred to as a 'death sentence' and had two other serious ailments which put me in ICU for several days. It was sudden. I've literally been on my back for weeks. Bless you all," Caputo, 66, wrote via X on Monday, January 6. Caputo did not go into detail about his condition or a timetable moving forward. He last posted via X on November 10.
