Jim will undergo a bone marrow transplant to continue to fight this disease as he has for 11 years now. Complete shocker to me. God bless him.

God's Speed to Jimmy Donnovan.

As a Steelers fan in Northern Ohio sometimes the only way to get my NFL fix on a Sunday afternoon is to listen to the brown's on the radio. Always enjoy hearing him do a game. A class act all the way

Wasn't aware that Donovan had this either. He, along with Nev Chandler, have done some of the best work broadcasting Browns games. "Run, William, Run !!!" Hope he gets well soon.

He's had this for 11 years and we didn't know about it. Hard to believe. Hope this transplant goes well and helps him to fight this nasty disease.

That still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. IMO he's the best in the Biz and its not close. Hope he gets well.
