Homeless after a life and career marred by drug and alcohol abuse, Ted Williams, 53, has been offered a job by the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers after his tale, revealed by local media, became an overnight Internet sensation. Gifted with a deep and emotive voice, the ex-radio announcer and father of nine is getting a second chance, a two-year contract, housing and living expenses from the Cavs who were touched by Williams' ordeal, said Tracy Marek, the team's senior vice president of marketing. NFL Films, which has chronicled pro football for nearly 50 years, also wants to contact Williams, the golden-throat recently living in a tent on the streets of Columbus. Stay tuned, we'll be right back with more after these messages from your local sponsor.
