I first saw this video last night around 11 pm. At that point, it had 130,000 views. Now it's over 4 million. Amazing!

I just heard on the radio that this guy was brought into a radio station for an interview and ended up getting hired by the Cleveland Cavaliers to do voiceovers.

Great story. Here's someone who's trying pretty hard to pull it together. I wish him the best. You do what you gotta do, but he's making an effort to stay straight and do it that way.
I don't agree with the Susan Boyle analogy largely because he caused his own downward spiral; he was a discovered talent at one time, whereas Susan never was.

Fantastic story - glad to see the man is getting a second chance.
Maybe the Cavs will pay for a vasectomy as a signing bonus. 9 kids? yikes

Wow, the viral capabilities of the internet are amazing. Absolutely incredible. If this guy stays sober and does his family and community right, it will surely be a well remembered story of redemption. Very cool, I hope he does well with his second chance and amazing global media opportunities. Hopefully not just a story of the day... it certainly doesn't seem like it as the story does strike a chord.
