i heard he had a hard time getting a plane ticket because he didn’t have an id or a home address for his id.

either way, this is a wonderful story and yeah…awwwwwwww(wwwww!)

I have never seen anything good come from drugs…this is another case.

Will he make it…the odd’s are probably against him!
It will end up too much, too quick and most likely he will revert to what he knows best….the street.
He just does not have the his personal infrastructure set up…when he gets his first check from a job…it won’t be good for him.

Pretty sad!

How long until Obama latches onto this story?

As for the plane ticket was it just a case of no ID or did he tell the TSA fondler to get lost.

Now that he has a job, he better hurry and buy health insurance, as will soon be required by law. And start sending in estimated Federal taxes. And estimated states taxes too. And medicare taxes. And FICA. And if starts driving there will be gasoline tax, and registration and licensing fees. Not to mention tolls and use fees. And he may want to consult an accountant about the alternative minimum tax. And a good thing about being homeless is no property tax, but if he wants a home that will kick in too. And if he is thinking about doing work in New York, there are the city taxes to consider. If he makes too much, however, the death tax will become an issue. But there isn’t much chance of that, since after paying all the other taxes, there isn’t much opportunity to accumulate any wealth.

Now I feel compelled to call my Mom :) Wow, 92.

She’s such a sweet Mom. She reminds me of my dearly departed Grandmom.
I hope everyone gives this guy some space soon too so he can adjust to all the big changes in his life and also hope he can overcome whatever urges he might be feeling.

How about his nine kids???
Did he pay child support??
Did they get to meet his hooker friend??
Any NYC arrest warrants…..deadbeat dad/child support???

Quite true. He almost didn’t make it out to New York because of this.

I didn’t realize that Ted Wiliam’s head had a body… um maybe that was a different Ted Williams.

Definitely not the same Ted. If brought in from the cold the ex-Boston slugger Ted Williams would not fare nearly as well. This dude is going to make serious bank. Thankfully the years of abuse he heaped upon his body didn’t ruin his “gift.”

That is the issue my friend…you hit the nail on the head.

How many TV shows has he been on?

We have seen some of our young pro athletes go through the same thing…
For that matter so did Iron Mike.

I am pretty sure the media will not give this guy his space.

Just my thoughts…

I sure hope this guy has someone saavy looking out for HIS interests and not simply trying to take the biggest piece they possibly can.

This shows why the News Network do not have the good of the people at heart. They don’t care.

Those network news folks ought to be ashamed of themselves. They don’t own this story. They don’t own these people. How dare they toy with their emotions. How dare they use them as pawns in their rating games. CBS and NBC are trying to come off as being so concerned about Williams and his mom when this shows that they are truly heartless. How can you sleep at night knowing that you needlessly kept this poor man away from his mother for almost an entire day because you both wanted to have an exclusive. Nice one guys. Bunch of selfish idiots.

I mean just look at that vulture camera man getting in Willams’ way as he trys to make his way to his mom. Disgusting. Stand back a-hole.
