Re: Former Homeless Man Ted Williams could be new voice of NFL Films

He looks way different now. He got all cleaned up and got a haircut, because he was flying to New York today to do some business meetings and see his mother, which he got very emotional over. He said he hadnt seen his mother in about 15 years, and he said that she was 91 and he wanted her to see him get his second chance. In his own words, he said that his mom was alive when he made it the first time (when he was young), and that she had been praying that she would get to see him get a second chance...just such a good story.

He seems like a wonderful, loving person, he was talking about seeing his family and his children again, and he seemed so happy. Apparantly at the height of his drug/alcohol abuse in 1996, his children and family tried to save him, but he voluntarily chose a life on the streets. I am so glad he gets a 2nd chance to enjoy his life again doing what he loves.

Edit: Despite arrest record, Cavaliers offer job to homeless man with golden radio voice - KansasCity.com

So it appears he is not the saint that I thought he was. But despite that, the team is thinking with their heart first and is going to go from there. The article also said that he is 53 years old, not 71, as some other articles were saying.
