    Homeless man with golden voice

    [YOUTUBE]uTysXITBCmk&feature[/YOUTUBE]

    The Cavaliers offered him a position and NFL Films is looking to use him also. Great story that's exploded over the Internet over just a few days.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

    The crazy thing about that video is that yesterday morning when I saw it on Barstool it had 3,000 views, now it has almost 9 million.

    This might be the most viral video in the history of YouTube.

        Same. Pretty amazing what has happened to this guy in the span of 24 hours. The guy from the newspaper that put this out there has to be feeling pretty good.

          I think it's too early to tell if this is a feel-good story. It might just be the genesis of a new tragedy.

            I think this is great that this guy is getting a chance. I hope that the job has benefits like a local AA sponsor that will make sure the guy stays straight and easy access to counseling if he needs it. He's making a huge transition and there will be a lot of pressures and he needs a support network to be successful.

            I also hope that people look at homeless people in a new light. Many of them do have stories like this guy and just need a second chance and a support network.

              The biggest pressure of all is that millions of people are now watching to see if you can stay sober and responsible.

                yes, but the nice thing is that if he does stay sober, nobody will ever care and the media will forget about him and he can just live life. The only story beyond this point is if he doesn't stay sober.

                    Sorry, but I've seen too many of these things IRL (not with millions of people watching) to know what kind of obstacles still remain.

                      What Indy is talking about is the reality of the situation. This guy's going to need some support. Most likely some professional support will be provided to him by his employer or he will be required to have some professional support while he's employed.

                      The guy really does have a special voice and these companies coming out the woodwork for his services aren't only in it because they're charitable. His voice is distinctive in a James Earl Jones way and I imagine a James Earl Jones voice over costs a pretty penny.

                        No one's arguing that Debbie Downer doesn't have a point.

                          Can we also say that David Sirota has a point then?

                          This, then, is a microcosm of a media that has become far more a manufacturer of false establishment-serving storylines than a documenter of genuine everyday reality. The idea that the American Dream still exists and that everyone can "make it" like Ted Williams is, by all objective economic measures, demonstrably false. But that idea is nonetheless incessantly promoted by politicians, corporate leaders and their media servants because it convinces large swaths of the put-upon general public to refrain from asking fundamental questions about inequality, poverty and the punitive structure of our economy - ie. questions that corporate-backed politicians, pundits and media institutions do not want asked.

                            I feel dumber for having read/skimmed that column.

                              so, I'll take that as a no, Sirota doesn't have a point.
