He was on my local station again, probably replaying his interview, and he's amazing! I love listening to him

Yeah that made me bawl when I watched it :(

Typical, there are some trying to say this is all a big hoax, why doesn't that surprise me? :rolleyes:

I seen this on CNN and they did a follow up on him, it was very interesting. I'm glad he was given a second chance and hope he does something with this chance. He does have a great voice for voiceover work or radio.

He's working for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I dunno if he can help the worst NBA Team of 2010-2011.

i am really happy for him and that he has managed to turn his life around. i'm sure he has a lot of stories to share but also words of advice for those who find themselves in a situation where they feel there is no hope for them in this world.

as ted shows otherwise and plus, it was so wonderful to see. :)

Bummer. It turns out he hasn't been clean for two years. His family says he's been drinking daily.

The pressure of sudden fame has gotten to him, but I will say that one daughter of his, something about her I don't trust. She seems like she's after her 15 minutes of fame

I don't think it's necessarily the pressure of fame getting to him; I think he's been drinking and even abusing drugs all along, and has been lying about his sobriety.

As for his daughter, I feel sorry for her, as well as his entire family. She obviously missed out on having a dad. I don't blame her for being mad at him, and I believe she's telling the truth about what happened in the hotel.

Hopefully Ted Williams can get the help he needs in rehab. I'm still rooting for him.
