Well, the wheels went off that particular train pretty quickly, didn’t it?  Ted Williams, the homeless man with the golden voice who lost everything to drugs and alcohol, claimed he’d been sober for two years when the Internet turned him into an overnight superstar.  Well, after looking into the incident where Williams and his daughter were detained by police after an argument, apparently some of the shine is off of Williams’ redemption story.  According to sources at The Dr. Phil Show, Ted Williams has resumed drinking alcohol and has agreed to go into rehab to kick his addiction.

“If Ted is ever going to get better, he’s got to be honest with himself and admit he’s addicted to drugs and alcohol,” said Dr. Phil McGraw, the eponymous Dr. Phil who the show is named after.  “I’ve told him it’s not going to be easy and it’s going to take a lot of hard work.  It might be a long journey for him, but this is a big step in the right direction.”

Williams had traveled to LA to film several episodes of The Dr. Phil Show.  It was during the taping of the third episode, after many long one-on-one talks with Dr. Phil, that Williams admitted that he still used alcohol and agreed to head to rehab to get clean and sober for real.  It is unknown whether or not this will affect his various job opportunities.  Hopefully not, because he’ll need something to take his mind off drugs and alcohol once he gets out of rehab.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
