Kenny: “why don’t you go to ESPN so then I wouldn’t have to talk to you.”
Chuck: “you’re not going to work me like a dog and not pay me.”

TNT NBA host Ernie Johnson is not expected to leave his longtime employer in the event it loses rights to the NBA, per a report Thursday.
Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal reported Thursday that Johnson is expected to remain with Warner Bros. Discovery in the event that the company loses rights to the NBA. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Comcast is willing to bid upwards of $2.5 billion/year to acquire the NBA rights currently held by WBD, which is paying $1.2 billion/year through the end of next season.
Johnson has been with TNT Sports — previously known as Turner Sports — since 1989 and has served as its primary NBA studio host since 1990. Per SBJ, Johnson would “likely” continue to host NCAA men’s basketball tournament coverage for TNT and CBS and return to MLB play-by-play.

Not surprised by this as Ernie is a Turner lifer.
