Ted Williams & The Power Of The Innanets



If you were to look up the definition of a feel good story on the internet, this video would have to come up.  Ted Williams is a man with a golden voice that, after a bout with drugs and alcohol, was a homeless man in Columbus, OH panhandling on the side of the road.  He had the longest sign in homeless dude history...which was probably a smart marketing decision because, instead of reading it, people wanted to hear him talk.  Literally overnight, we went from the streets to the interview room:  this guy has been flooded with offers from everyone to the Cleveland Cavaliers (they probably need him on the court more) and NFL films to Kraft Foods (watching CNN earlier today...he was doing some voice over work for them today).  Last I heard he took the Cavs job and they're going to get him a house too.  Another tribute to the power of these here innanets...just sheer luck and a video camera has changed this man's life...he's back in NY to see his mom he hasn't seen in a long time.  Good job Mr. Williams...I hope you take this 2nd chance and run with it...and get some groupies along the way.
