#245 – Ernie Johnson

Tommy Riles and Art Eddy discuss how they try to teach their kids to stop and smell the roses from time to time. They are inspired by this week's guest Ernie Johnson. Ernie calls these times blackberry moments. We spoke to Ernie about his new book, Unscripted: The Unpredictable Moments that Make Life Extraordinary. In his book he shares stories about his marriage, having and adopting children, his battle with cancer, and all the challenges and hijinx of working in live TV in the sports world. Ernie lives in Georgia with his wife, Cheryl and their six children Follow Ernie Johnson on Twitter @TurnerSportsEJ and visit ErnieJohnsonJr.com to purchase his book.
