The guy who kept Shaq and Charles Barkley in line on TV for 37 years used to spend his mornings shaving and dressing his son, who could barely move and breathed through a ventilator. Then he'd go to work and laugh with those guys all night like nothing was going on.
Tonight Ernie Johnson said this season will be his last, and Barkley tried to thank him on air and couldn't get the words out.
I don't think most people watching that clip know what Ernie was carrying all those years.
He and his wife Cheryl adopted Michael from an orphanage outside Bucharest in 1991, when he was 3. He had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and doctors didn't think he'd make it to his 20s. He lived to 33. When Ernie was home, getting Michael ready in the morning could take an hour and a half, and Ernie did the showering and shaving and dressing himself.
In 2006 he told viewers he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and by the end of October he was back at the desk while he was still going through chemo.
When Michael died in 2021, Ernie wasn't on the show that week, and Shaq, Kenny and Chuck spent about six minutes trying to hold it together while they talked about a kid most of America never met.
Then last year he had heart bypass surgery, and this summer he turned 70.
Ernie's dad pitched in the big leagues and then called Braves games for decades, and he gave his son a rule Ernie's talked about forever: if somebody spikes you at second base, never rub.
If you've ever wondered why nobody's been able to copy Inside, that rule is a big part of it. Barkley could say the dumbest thing imaginable, Shaq could fall out of his chair, Kenny could go running to the big board, and Ernie would just pick it up and bring it back to basketball with that yellow legal pad. Those three got to be chaos because the guy in the middle never made his own stuff the show.
He still calls hosting a "get-to job," and he was calling it that the same year he buried his son.
So when Charles Barkley, who's roasted pretty much everybody alive on live TV, can't finish a sentence to the man, that's why.
Charles Barkley and the guys give Ernie Johnson his flowers. This is a must watch.

If he thinks this is bad just wait til he sees Minnesota. Ant gonna get this nigga ejected cuz he in his feelings
Yaxel Lendeborg on what he and Luka Doncic were going back and forth about:
“I was telling him he sucks. He can’t score on me. You talking, you can’t score on me. I said it the whole game. I said a couple cuss words obviously, you know, that’s why I got the technical and all that. But I was letting him know because he was laughing and talking all this because of that one foul call, and his only bucket was a banker from half court. Like, I know that it’s a team sport. He had 28 on us as a team. Me, I took my matchup personally. Tried not to get caught on the fouls. Tried my best. I was thinking about playing him with my hands behind my back to see if that worked. Probably would have still got a foul call. But, you know, interesting.”

Nolan Wells didn't drown. Emmett didn't whistle. Philando didn't reach for a gun. Trayvon didn't harass. Sonya Massey didn't call the police to die. Ahmaud didn't trespass. Breonna never woke up. Sean Bell didn't make it to the altar. George and Eric couldn't breathe. Rekia didn't pose a threat. Laquan was walking away. Kendrick did not roll himself up. Mike Brown was only jaywalking. Sandra Bland did not commit suicide. Botham Jean couldnt enjoy his ice cream. Tamir Rice didn't have a gun.

These runs are serious. Coach Rico has been running these pickups for decades at UCLA. This is not a shot he would ever take or make in a real game. Players go there to actually get better for the season not shoot bullshit lmfao.

You will NEVER be equal to men. You will never be better than men.
Thats why the only proof you have is child birth. Animals can do that. Show me an animal that created a computer or built any civilization?
We are stronger, faster, taller, smarter, more logical, more emotionally controlled. You run on feelings, we run on facts. That's why we lead and you follow.
Look around you. EVERYTHING you see.
We crossed oceans when there was no map. We conquered continents. We went to SPACE. We built weapons to protect, bridges to connect, skyscrapers to touch the clouds, toilets so you don't shit in the street, computers, cars, planes, trains, the internet, electricity, medicine, farms, banks, courts, governments.
What did you build? Nothing. You moved INTO what we built and then said "I don't need men."
You don't even know how anything you use works. You can't build it, you can't fix it, you can't maintain it. If men stopped working for 24 hours, your world ends. No power, no water, no food, no safety. You'd be screaming for us back in hours.
And the ultimate humiliation? You don’t create life. You incubate it. You are only a woman because YOUR FATHER allowed it. Your mother had zero say. Her X is useless alone. It was your father's X that made you female. A MAN decided your gender, not a woman.
You were created by a man, born into a world built by men, protected by men, fed by men, and you have the audacity to think you're equal?
You are not equal. You are a beneficiary. A guest in a house men built. Have some fuckin respect.
