Homeless Ted Williams, Owner of 'Golden Voice,' Offered Job by NFL Films, Cleveland Cavaliers - NESN Newswire - NESN.com

Just amazing. And he has an amazing voice. Ted is a recovered drug/alcohol addict. God Bless America that someone will give him a second chance....

I saw this earlier good story

He may not know a damn thing about football...but I'd rather listen to him than Sam Huff

MTK · 01-05-2011, 12:53 PM

This thing sure has gone viral eh? I still haven't clicked on the story yet, yeah I'm a rebel like that

More proof that anyone can make it in this country. And barring mental or physical disaster, if you haven't made it, it's your own damn fault.

Yes... It's easy for anyone that tries to make it in this country. Oh wait, this guy sat on the street, some guy recorded his voice and it became viral, and he got a job.

Good story, but lets not act like this guy is a success story. He got lucky. Best of luck to him, but it's not like he pulled himself up by his bootstraps.

I think you missed his point that the guy is homeless, despite having such a wonderful talent, due to his own life choices.

But that is all history...now he seems to have his head on straight and has a chance to get the rest of his life straight. Good for him. These voice guys never look like what they sound like.

I just watched a video of him last night standing by the road where they interviewed him. That's awesome.

that's a great video, he does have a gift.
Also, the owners may have found a new way to cut some labor costs!
