    Sorry, but talent trumps and if you can find this litany of unemployed announcers with better voices than this dude, I'll eat my hat. The guy's got pipes that few people do.

    He's every bit as deserving of an announcing job as someone like McLovin (from Superbad) is deseving of an acting gig just because he looked like a nerd. Sometimes the raw talent is just there. What he does with this opportunity is up to him, but acting as if he needs to pay some imaginary dues calling games for some single-A team in Iowa is ridiculous.

    Yeah, I don't think anyone's suggesting he should get thrust into the booth for ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, but a local TV or radio station would be well-served to hire him to do voice-overs for commercials and station promos.

    If you get laid off, don't worry. Because 13 years from now (after you fight off your alcohol addiction and live homeless for a year or two), you too can find a new job just like Ted Williams. See, he was laid off from his most recent radio job in 1997:

    Co-sign.

    Dude's good. Really good. And he's probably going to get a job others have been trying to get for years. Them's the breaks.
     
  6. Yep.
    Unfortunately, I'll bet he keeps said job six months to a year before he winds up back where he was found.
    I'm glad this guy is getting anothter chance. I hope he uses it to get right and stay straight. But I wouldn't bet on it.

    Holy cow that is an awesome collection of mugshots. Looks like something from a comedy album. The hair, the mustaches...and one surgical mask??
