Sportscaster Discloses Cancer

TNT sportscaster Ernie Johnson, Jr. publicly disclosed that he does have cancer. Johnson made the decision after public curiosity. "The only reason I'm bringing my condition to your attention now is because the swelling of a lymph node near my left ear has become noticeable to viewers of TNT, and there have been questions asked," Johnson said in a statement issued by the network. Johnson plans to undergo treatment later this summer.
