JANUARY 5--Before becoming the country’s most distinctive new voice (http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/multimedia/video/video.html?videoUrl=http://www.dispatch.com/live/export-content/sites/dispatch/videos/2011/01/03/golden-homeless-voice-092457.xml), Ted Williams compiled a lengthy rap sheet that landed him in several Ohio lockups on a variety of criminal charges, according to law enforcement records.
http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/release/sites/default/files/assets/tedwilliamssmallmugs.jpg (http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/release/sites/default/files/assets/tedwilliamsmugsbig.jpg)Williams, 53, has been busted for theft, robbery, escape, forgery, and drug possession. He is pictured at right in mug shots (click to enlarge (http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/release/sites/default/files/assets/tedwilliamsmugsbig.jpg)) taken as a result of those Ohio collars, which stretch back more than two decades.
The convicted felon’s speedy rise to fame is not sitting well with one Columbus businessman who called cops on Williams and a female companion in early-July. The man, a manager at National Tire & Battery, told cops that Williams and the woman were “refusing to leave the business property” and had become an “ongoing problem” for the business, according to a police report (http://spurstalk.com/file/williams-police-report?page=0).
While Williams begged customers for money, the woman “gets picked up and dropped off in the parking lot by various and numerous males in different vehicles. The management had repeatedly asked the two suspects to stay off the property and have been cussed and yelled at by the suspects for their effort.”
Cops warned Williams and his companion that they would be arrested if they returned to the property. The businessman, who only wanted to be identified as Dan, told TSG that Williams’s newfound notoriety had left him a “little aggravated.” The man said that he had seen Williams urinate in front of the business, and watched recently as he and his female friend stripped to their underwear as they changed into dry clothes during a rainstorm.
Dan added that his company shares a lot with a Lowe’s store, and he has seen Williams stealing items from cars parked by customers visiting the home improvement firm. “He’s basically been a thief for the past two years,” Dan said. The businessman added that last month he saw cops putting Williams in a squad car. However, the Columbus Division of Police had no record of Williams being collared in December. (1 page)

He was a BUM!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Not surprising.....

[DPG21920]

Cool story. I hope he turns his life around.

[Venti Quattro]

For the homeless :cry

[FkLA]

Is that manager guy serious complaining about him changing into dry clothes? He was homeless, he didnt exactly have a changing room at his disposal. Glad for the guy...hope he takes advantage of the opportunity.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow, amazing voice.

[Texas_Ranger]

Get him in Boston! Those announcers suck balls there.

[jag]

"hey everybody! Let's all shit on this homeless man who's trying to get his life together!!!"

[noob cake]

Cavaliers lost out to Kraft.

Not surprised, he has accepted a job offer from Kraft over Quicken Loans

[LnGrrrR]

Get him in Boston! Those announcers suck balls there.

No Tommy Points for you. :cry

[DPG21920]

I would love for a loose ball to go out of bounds and for a player to jump onto the table and open a gash above Tommy's eye. Not severely injuring him, but enough for him to have swelling/stitches.

[LnGrrrR]

Wtf?

"We were moved by his story and his amazing voice," she said, adding that it was "perfectly suited" for the mac and cheese campaign.


How the fuck is a homeless man giving in to alcohol and drugs, then turning his life around, a "perfectly suited" story for some goddamn motherfucking MAC AND CHEESE?

"Hi! I used to homeless... and I always remember the smell of macaroni and cheese, lifting delightfully from someone's home, while I fought for pizza crusts with other bums. All I could think about was getting my hands full of that delicious mac and cheese, and maybe getting a shower.

Kraft Mac and Cheese! Get yours today!"

[BlackSwordsMan]

They're all just pushing product on this man. He's a huge story and anything associated with him will get publicity like shitty mac and cheese.

[BlackSwordsMan]

kinda like the cavs

[jjktkk]

"hey everybody! Let's all shit on this homeless man who's trying to get his life together!!!"

Count on lefty to come thru in the clutch.

I think she meant that his voice was perfectly suited for the particular voiceover they needed for their ad campaign.

BTW, he did the voice work yesterday and they've already released the ad today, which is scheduled to be aired during the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl game on Sunday:

tbh Easy Mac solves all Spurfan's woes. It's tasty, fattening, you only have to wait a minute for it, and it's cheap. :tu
