Dude is so thankful to God, and was STILL thankful to Him during his hard times. Great story, couldn't be happier for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 6, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/0105/nba_ap_twilliams1_300.jpg CLEVELAND -- With a deep, refined voice, one that had been sadly misplaced, Ted Williams simply asked for help to get him off the streets. He's been heard. Left homeless after his life and career were ruined by drugs and alcohol, Williams has been offered a job by the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and is being pursued by NFL Films for possible work after he and his compelling tale became an online curiosity. "This has been totally, totally amazing," Williams said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, his voice choking with emotion. "I'm just so thankful. God has blessed me so deeply. I'm getting a second chance. Amazing." Williams was contacted Wednesday by the Cavaliers, who have offered him a position that could include announcing work at Quicken Loans Arena, the team's downtown arena. Williams said the team has offered him a two-year contract and said they would pay his mortgage. 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 still being worked out on a possible position for Williams. Williams' compelling tale also has drawn interest from NFL Films, which has chronicled pro football for nearly 50 years and wants to contact Williams.http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5991313 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6kI_u3ho_c What a beast.

TheHutch Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Maybe he can even play? We could use any help we could get right now. But real talk, incredible story. Hope he has a bright career in broadcasting ahead of him. Edited January 6, 2011 by TheHutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashty Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Ted Williams is the man! He has an amazing voice and has a great story. I don't mean to be a downer, but hopefully he doesn't make any bad decisions with his instant superstardom.
