Wow! Now that the type of person who should be helped to back on his feet.
Creative, know his mistakes, making a effort to change his live (creative and different effort) ... if I had a radio station or a producing videos/ games this guy would be hired

That rocks. I haven't seen him out and around though as I travel that way 2-3x a week.

Trying to think he sounds like Casey Casem (sp) in a way? Maybe.

Damn. Next time I head home from Columbus I'll head over to I-71 instead of taking 315.

Wow, for a homeless man, he really seems to have his issues in order again. Most homeless folk you cant understand 3 words that come out of their mouth, that guy might as well be doing a top 40 countdown.

Hope someone see's that and gives the guy a shot. Honestly, everyone deserves a second crack at life, maybe he will do something positive with this go around.

So things got pretty amazing for Ted this morning. He was on the WNCI Morning Zoo w/ Dave and Jimmy. The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered him a full-time job and a house!!! He was also offered numerous other jobs from all around the world. It was emotional to listen to the show and hear this guys story, and also how grateful he was for the opportunites. I truly believe this is a guy that wants to turn his life around.

I only heard a little bit of it on the radio on my way to work but I do agree it was a very good and emotional story. I heard the offer from the reality show and the MTV job offer.
