Good luck to this guy, he is going to be making quite a bit of money with this much news attention.

Love the irony (PR brilliance?) of, basically, a loan company that is doing mass foreclosures to make people potentially homeless (quicken loans, who basically owns the Cavs) offering a homeless guy a job.

who the fuck are Zeiger and Tiges?

Someone probably wanted to cash in on some revenue sharing quickly and google found out the guy that uploaded the video didn't actually create it.

Even the copycats are hitting hundreds of thousands of views.

Unreal.

He has a face made for radio.
Also, QuickenLoans can blow me. So some homeless guy gets on youtube and they offer to pay his mortgage, meanwhile, I try to refi through them and they want $7K in closing costs on a ~$100K refi, and they keep finding little fee's to add. Maybe I'll call em up and ask if one of those is the Ted Williams fee.

This might be the feel good story of the year, (;), so far). The happiness will certainly be shared by the mother of his children when she comes forward to report her side of the story. He's riding his fifteen minutes of fame and when his wife, (or ex or whatever she is), decides to go public we might find out about child support payments, spousal abuse or you name it.

Not sure if it's been posted yet (not scrolling through all pages), but he was just on CNN and apparently has been hired by Kraft Foods.

Can you imagine if this whole thing was just a cruel hoax and he will be dumped back on the same corner soon when nobody is looking? :eek:

I just watched a segment on TV that showcased his family.

They all bellowed and exclaimed how much they loved him, and how they took care of him all this time.

What a bunch of pieces of crap. Now that the man has some money, they are all gathering and celebrating him. His two dipshit grandsons were also showing off their "radio" voices for the camera. None of them gave a damn about him when he was living on the street.

I hate people like this. I hope he doesn't give any of them a dime of his earnings.
