Outgoing SEC commissioner Mike Slive: 'I feel as good as I've felt in a very long time'

With his right-hand man and successor sitting beside him, Mike Slive provided a room full of media members with an update on his health Monday afternoon during the Associated Press Sports Editors' Southeast Region meeting at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.

In October, the longtime commissioner of the Southeastern Conference announced that he had a reoccurrence of prostate cancer and would retire in July 2015, after leading the league for 13 years.

"I'm pleased to say that the last time I talked to the doctor he said, 'That's the last chemo treatment,'" explained Slive, 74, in his first meeting with the media since July.
