Homeless guy has a voice for radio!

[~~whimsy~~]

Hopefully this exposure will turn his life around and he will be able to get a living.

Saw this earlier. Somebody get that guy a gig.

He's pretty articulate, considering most of the homeless people I come across are incoherent crackheads. This guy's just one of those people who's down on his luck I suppose.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

He would do well on a talk show or TV announcer. Price is Right!

Come on down!

Of course enlightening stories like this will usually have people dig through his past and we will find out he is some kind of serial rapist/murderer. I hope not though.

This guy is gonna be the next LeBron James for the Cavaliers. Then he will dump them for Miami and Cleveland will get into another emotional uproar.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered a job to a homeless Ohio man with a golden radio voice.

Ted Williams, whose deep baritone and plight have made him an online video sensation, was contacted Wednesday by the Cavs. Team spokesman Tad Carper said details are being worked out on the possible position. It could include Williams working in Quicken Loans Arena.

The Columbus Dispatch reported that video of Williams posted this week on its website has commanded millions of views.

In the clip, Williams stands near a Columbus highway ramp demonstrating his smooth, deep speaking voice. He holds a sign that asks motorists for help and says, "I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times."

Williams said he had trouble with drugs and alcohol but is two years sober.

Yeah. That same sweet voice is what he used to lure his victims back to his dirty little grief hole of a dwelling. His voice was the last thing those poor souls heard. Those poor poor souls. . .

That's a pretty quick turnaround... I hope everything works out for him.

What did your father do to piss you off so much? Stop taking it out on board members. YOU'RE ANGRY AT HIM, NOT US!

He does indeed have a job for Cleveland Cavaliers as I mentioned in a previous post. This is on Yahoo.

Damn, I wish I knew of him before he got famous. I would have paid him a hundred dollars to narrate a day of my life.

I would have him narrate Patrick Stewart narrating my life.
