Oher On 20/20 Tonight

[Mishel]

well technically tonight lol, Tuesday the 29th at 10 on ABC will be a feature on The Blind Side and from the previews it looks like Oher did sit down with their interviewer and answered questions. Looks like it should be a good feature and some good publicity for the Ravens.

[I AM LEGEND]

Thanks alot...my family has been obsessed with Michael Oher since we've seen blindside...I'll be sure to watch

[McBoller]

Yes! I forgot, Can't wait. I have heard mixed things on his opinion about the movie. One that he thought it was very accurate and another stated that he felt it made him look like a fool. we will see.

Your sig is sick man...

I heard that the movie was very accurate about his upbringings, and being taken in by the family, but they downplayed his football knowledge into making him look like a moron and having never stepped on a field in his life. They had him line up squatting on the front line, as opposed to getting in his stance. Come on Hollywood! My 3 year old nephew knows how to line up!

I am so excited about 20/20 tonight! I really want to see what Oher's opinion is on the movie...

[FlaccoFlicker]

this is a really touching story,nice to see there is some good in this world,havent'seen the movie yet unfortunatly

[I AM LEGEND]

I must say I loved the movie...even though the movie I obtained was a pirated copy lol..I enjoyed very much

and it really was a feel good movie...but all stories have problem plots..and I must say the issue they bring up about whether or not the touies(??) took Oher in out of the kindness of their heart or whether it was to mold him to be a OLE MISS football player seems like a very valid argument...and has really made me look at this story in another light..

But needless to say it was a great deed whatever the reason was and they helped transfrom a young man into OUR FUTURE StAR!

[K-Dog]

that was cool.

[Moderator 2]

I've read the book and will most likely see the movie on DVD the way its going, but I really enjoyed Debra Roberts interview and the story about the other kid following in Michael' s foot steps.

[edreedfromtheu]

All I want to know is where that Collins Tuohy girl sits at the games. She's gorgeous! And she definitely has her mother's attitude, haha.

[FlaccoFlicker]

great story certainly enjoyed it

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

In a world so tied up with problems this was a like a breath of fresh air and totally inspiring to others! Time well spent.

[ChiTownRavens]

The Blindside was just a great feel good movie, it left me wondering what good have i done recently. I also had a huge tear at the end when they showed Oher getting drafted....lol i love the story too much. Pity i missed this episode of 20/20, probably find it somewhere.

[catty112]

I missed the 20/20 showing on Oher. did anyone catch it? Im interested to hear what he had to say about his movie and how it depicted him. Also any chance its going to be aired again?

I saw Blindisde Tuesday and it is a feel good movie. According to the 20/20 show, it has inspired another family to do the same thing and pay it forward.

ChiTownRavens..what you have expressed is a really great question that all of us need to ask ourselves , particularily heading in to another year.

" what good have I done recently".

I asked myself this question a while ago ( I am 46).
I decided to tell my wife and kids that I love them every day.I decided to try and not judge or be critical of people ( D.Carnegie) and not sweat the small stuff.

If you have talent, share it.

Michael Oher ended up giving much more than what the Tuohy's expected. They gave back and it returned in ten fold.

Happy New Year Ravens Fans.

As he said in the interview, the only problem he had with it was the fact that they made him look like he knew nothing about football.


The entire documentary had me in tears: my own gratitude toward the Tuohy family and all. I really like how they entwined the stories of Quentin Aaron and the you man from Memphis in around Michael's story.
