Eh whatever, that movie sucked anyway. And why is this coming out now? Everyone knew the story was 'Hollyweirded' for $$$.

Better OL movie is 'Greater'.

I went to a college prep catholic school that brought in athletes from disadvantaged areas to bolster the program, gave them athletic scholarships and many to most couldn't do the school work. Bryce Young went there before he transferred to Mater Dei . He's one of the few who took full advantage. The family structure is pretty critical. Micheal Oher would be going home to a mother who was either high or on the streets. He seems like someone who would get sidetracked easily . Yeah all this looks bad for the family but like I said, there's no movie without them and pretty good chance his god given ability never gets to its full potential. Its a sad situation. Hopefully they all agree to a forensic accountant to look at all the contracts and accounts and he can decide if Michael is owed money or not. Hopefully it's not a Mike Tyson Don King situation.
Or the Tuhdys or whatever the fuck their name is. Identified a kid who was basically an orphan. As someone with real NFL potential n from jumpstart mapped out a long n profitable con.

Rumor Control says they received 2.5% of the profits from The Blind Side. They wrote a damn book.

Got paid for countlesss speeches n personal appearances, started a foundation n who knows what else. Fuck those schiesty mothsfuckers.

Thats quite an ability to pick a kid with NFL potential. Ilol. t's not like he was a 7 foot basketball player or a 5 star QB. Big guys don't always plan out.

Some people just prefer elaborate conspiracies.

I completely don't understand this whole thing people have with their college alma mater, the financial gatekeeping around college education or why people even pay much attention to college sports.

The pros are where you truly separate the wheat from the chaff.

Playing devils advocate here. Without the Tuoghys there is no Blind Side movie. That's just reality. So there would be no money to split at all. Without the Tuoghys he's either living with a drug addict mom, on the streets or in the foster care system during his high school years.. Does he ever get the grades go to college and excel without that family structure?
Part of the problem as noted above. If you come down on the Tuoghys you feel like you're attacking Sandra Bullock . lol

I don't disagree with the Tuohys getting half and Oher getting half. he got 20 percent. He had an equal split to a 10 year old who was inconsequential.

5 star recruits are future NFL guys.

Barring catastrophic injury or prison, almost always. It’s not much of an ability to take one and then get him into your alma mater, then profit off him. Other than an ability to capitalize on a naive kid.

These people suck.

No, he wasn't 7 ft or a 5 star QB in hg school. He was 6'5" 350 pounds. Ranked the 38th best player in the country by 247Sports Composite, the 6th best OT in the country n #2 recruit overall in the state of Tenn. And had received visits from Nick Saban, Lou Holtz, Tommy Tuberville n Houston Nutt.

That's some slavery was good for blacks cuz it gave them a trade bullshit right there.

And why is anyone attacking Sandra Bullock? Unlike the woman she portrayed. She took care of the children she adopted. Not took advantage of, lied to n stole from them.

It's almost like there's no ,middle ground. Either the Tuoheys really had his best interest at heart and the freedom he did have with NFL money he wasted, so he needed someone watching. Or he was just naive and they took advantage of him for years.
There's a middle ground. It benefitted both, but the family ended up wanting to share the wealth within the family.

I mean it's gotta disrupt the other kids' lives to have Oher move in; that's not a real reason for anything, but it's a way for the parents to start rationalizing their shitty moves.

They helped Oher and they took more than their share of him. Both.

She wouldn't go out with him even though he sent her a really nice letter.
Heh. That's a pretty solid route to the friend zone. Not so much if you're hoping she'll let you venture down south sometime in the near future.
