This is awesome. Your eye will naturally be taken by the star of the show, but watch a 2nd time and keep your eye on the professional one doing the proper sprint start out of the blocks.

On a semi relative note, does anyone remember a Chinese (I think) bloke on Koptalk that posted a picture of him with his girlfriend? He looked like a huge nerd and she was really hot and everyone let him know to the point I believe he closed his account and never returned

Do you mean Univ of Chicago? That was on here, if so, in the early days.

Update on Post #739 above....

Cavs offer homeless man job.



A homeless Ohio man was offered a job Wednesday with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers after a YouTube video was posted showing him demonstrating his made-for-radio voice, The Sporting News reported.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered a homeless man with a golden voice a job and offered to pay the mortgage on a house.

The video of Ted Williams was shot by a Columbus Dispatch reporter who had seen Williams on the side of the road using his voice to collect money from passersby.

In a video interview, Williams - holding a cardboard sign that asks motorists for help and says, "I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times" - explains in his smooth, deep voice that he grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y.. and that he was drawn to radio at the age of 14.

The video was viewed more than 4 million times in a 24-hour period after it was posted Tuesday.

The offer to Williams was made Wednesday on Cleveland radio station WNCI 97.9 FM by a woman claiming to represent the Cavs and Quicken Loans Arena.

Team spokesman Tad Carper said details are still being worked out on a possible position for Williams. Carper said any job could include working in Quicken Loans Arena, the NBA team's downtown arena. It is not yet known if Williams has accepted the team's offer.

CNBC's Darren Rovell tweeted that the offer was genuine, and also said that NFL Films was interested in hiring Williams.

The Cavaliers' offer includes voiceover work on radio and television, and on a new website.

In the video, Williams said he was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and went to school at one point with an eye toward getting into radio. He said he became involved with drugs and alcohol, but has been sober for the past two years.

"Hopefully somebody from one of these television or radio stations says, 'Hey, I need a voiceover or hey I need something," Williams said.

Any publicity is good publicity, perhaps, for the Cavaliers, who are 8-26 and in last place in the Central Division. They play Toronto Wednesday night in Cleveland.
