According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the Uber driver claimed he and Oher got in an argument April 14 while the driver was giving Oher and four of his friends a ride to downtown Nashville. 

The driver claims he put his hand on Oher's face before Oher knocked him to the ground. The driver also alleged that Oher kicked him in the leg before the NFL player was restrained by his friends

 

Seems like there is some missing info.

Oher, 30, was charged with misdemeanor assault after police said he pushed the Uber driver to the ground and kicked him in the leg over a fare dispute on April 14, multiple Tennessee media outlets reported Thursday. Oher is a former Tennessee Titan and subject of the award-winning film “The Blind Side.” According to a police report, the Uber driver was taking Oher and four friends from a house to eat in downtown Nashville when Oher and the driver began arguing over the fare, The Tennessean newspaper reported. Oher had asked the driver to follow another car that also was leaving the home, according to the police account, Nashville ABC-affiliate WKRN reported. Along the way, the driver suggested he take the lead, saying the other car didn't seem to know where it was going, according to the police account, the station reported. Believing the driver was just trying to get more money, Oher began arguing with him, police said, according to WKRN. On the way to their destination, two of the passengers needed to use the restroom, so the driver stopped at a Mapco convenience store on Eighth Avenue South, according to the police report. The driver got out to open the door for the rear passengers, and Oher stepped out to confront the driver, the report said, according to The Tennessean. When the driver put his hands up toward the offensive tackle’s face, Oher pushed him to the ground and kicked him in the leg, according to the report, The Tennessean and at least two Nashville TV stations reported. The friends then got out of the car and held Oher back, according to the police report.

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
