Video: We should all be like Ernie Johnson when we grow up (Stuart Scott)

This has nothing to do with football, but everything to do with life.

Ernie Johnson won the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Host/Personality last night, beating out giants in the industry such as Bob Costas, Keith Olbermann, Rich Eisen... and Stuart Scott. Scott, of course, passed away in January after a long bout with cancer. His death rocked the entire sports media industry.

Johnson overcame his own bout with cancer and, as you'll see below, encouraged Scott in his struggle with the disease. Instead of accepting the award and taking it back to Atlanta with him, Johnson gave his award to Scott's daughters, Taelor and Sydni.

Here's a trailer for the E:60 piece Johnson references in his speech:

We should all be like Ernie Johnson when we grow up.
