Cavs to Hire Homeless Guy with Great Radio Voice

… and give him a house to boot. Well done! From the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “The Cavaliers and Quicken Loans were so taken with the story of Ted Williams, the homeless man from Columbus with the golden voice, that they have offered him an unspecified job with the team and assistance with housing. ‘When you know something’s right, you just have to launch,” said Tracy Marek, senior vice president of marketing for the Cavaliers. ‘One of the big things that we talk about here with our organization is how important urgency is, and when you see something that feels good and seems right, the important thing that we wanted to do is to let Ted know that we have something here for him that we wanted to talk to him about because he’s getting so flooded by offers.’”

    I’m glad he got a job. He would also look like an awesome anchorman is his hair and teeth would get fixed.

    Tarzan: Porbably because nobody has tried to suggest that it was anything else. Still though, continue with the cynacism. It’s so hard to find on the internet.

    @Tarzan
    Talk about negativity. The cavaliers are willing to help the man because he can also help the cavaliers with his talent. It’s not like he doesn’t have anything to offer them at all. Also, if it is indeed a marketing ploy for their gain, at least they’ve helped someone rather than them not caring or just choosing to be a spectator.
