Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Starting to sound like Oher has pissed away his NFL money. Guy wrote in his book he knew it was a conservatorship since it's what they had to do in Tennessee since he was an adult at the time and the NCAA was questioning the relationship. And his biological mother was involved in the whole legal arrangement. And that was from the book he did in 2012 Edited August 16, 2023 by Serious Darius Bagfelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The Tuohy's (publicity team) were all over the Today Show this morning, claiming the lawsuit is frivolous and in fact countering that he was holding them up for money ($15 million) before filing the suit. But judging alone by them giving their kids royalties and not him.... yeah, I believe every word he says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Michael Lewis, I haven't read the book, but I've always heard it was a lot different from the movie. Is that not the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not the case? The movie is solely focused on Oher's story The book spends a lot of time on Oher but then has chapters about other areas of O-line play looking at (at the time) the current NFL, etc... Like the entire first chapter is about Lawrence Taylor's dominance (and him shattering Theisman's leg) and thus the importance of a left tackle) If you read Moneyball - the structure is very similar And then you add in making the story more Hollywood friendly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 It should be noted that Michael Lewis was High School classmates with Dad Tuohy - so that is how they knew each other prior to the book being written 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Studio claiming the movie made no profit is fully believable. One of the MIB writers occasionally puts on Twitter the statements he gets showing that the movie made X amount this year, bringing it to a total of Y, but the production and marketing has now cost Z so it's still in the red. Didn't the Blindside also feature Jonathan Ogden substantially? I remember people saying what a break it was for Lewis and the book that Oher was essentially drafted to replace Ogden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 A woman has accused Dolphins CB Xavien Howard of secretly taping and distributing a sex tape of them. She was arrested when she went to his house and smashed up his car. He, through his lawyer, vehemently deny the claims and claim she's a stalker/extortionist.

supremebve Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Michael Oher probably has a point. In Tennessee, the state that Oher was a legal resident, you can adopt an adult. Moreover, a conservatorship is only granted in the behalf of people with mental and/or physical disabilities, which doesn't apply to Oher. So, there is no legal reason the Tuohy family should have been conservators of Michael Oher. I was listening to LeBatard's show this week and Dominique Foxworth is filling in while Dan is out morning the loss of his brother. Foxworth was teammates with Oher when the movie was released and he said Oher told the team he appreciate if they didn't watch the movie, because he felt like the movie was portraying him as stupid. This feels like a long con, where everyone got paid but Michael Oher. https://defector.com/the-tuohy-familys-side-of-the-story-has-a-giant-hole-at-the-center 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I imagine that is irrelevant if you can just adopt him outright as an adult. I can't imagine the NCAA punishing someone for receiving benefits from their legal parents.

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 A warrant has been issued for Antonio Brown's arrest. He has missed $15000 in child support payments.

odessasteps Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Quote Jerry being Jerry: #Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on DE Sam Williams getting arrested for a second time: “This sounds a little hollow, but he is maturing. What was he going, 66 mph? ... That’s 32 mph less this year. 98 last year to 66, so that’s improvement.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
