Anyone see this? http://www.dispatch.com/live/content...ice-092457.xml
There's a homeless guy who hangs out by the freeway in Columbus, OH named Ted, who was once an aspiring radio announcer until he made some bad choices.
Hopefully, he straightens his life out and gets a chance somewhere. He's got a great radio voice.

It would be way cool if he was able to make something out of this.
That used to be the exit I'd take off I-71 when I lived in C-bus. Never saw anybody with a voice like that, though!

He seems like a really sincere guy. I hope things work out for him.

|  | Registered User | | | | | He deserves a gig on merit alone.
Then there's his potential value as an inspiration to others who are struggling on the comeback trail.
I'd bet there's a book or a made-for-TV movie in this guy too. |

It looks as though the Cleveland Cavaliers have offered him a job and a place to live.

People would cry outrage at that point and still expect this guy to get special treatment. Not trying to bring the story down but for some reason I have a gut feeling. If he truly changed his life for the better then this is a great story. |
