[TheRumGone]

Was kind of worried about him after that concussion ended his career but he seems to be doing really well.

Good read.

He sounds like a kind and thoughtful person....someone who is sincerely trying to make a difference.

Thanks for the link.

Big guy, big heart, still a big future ahead of him.

Great news. Good dude who I wish we had more time with. It's been a long list of huge disappointments after him.

He could.  Not so much anymore.

I actually watched that movie based on his story. 

Cool news he is moving on and not just sitting around idling.

Best play at LT we've had since Gross retired.

Seemingly a great guy.

Glad he wore a Panthers uniform.

It's a really good movie, but Oher says an awful lot of it is Hollywood bullsh-t.

I can believe that as someone in the film and tv industry in another country. They come to us for a good story, and the end result is maybe 15-20% truth, and the rest not exactly false but exaggerations, set up scenarios for the cameras...etc. 

Hollywood is gonna Hollywood. You can live with it....or otherwise not be a part of it.

I heard an interview with Adrian Cronauer once where he talked about the experience of filming Good Morning Vietnam. He said he'd tell a story, and the producers would say something like "hey that's great, but what if we changed it to this and then threw that in and then added the other etc etc" and by the time it was done what they filmed was nothing like the story he told.

He thought the whole thing was pretty much bullsh-t.
