Michael Oher, the retired Super Bowl-winning lineman better known as The Guy From “The Blind Side” Movie, has submitted a petition in court with major allegations against the Tuohy family. According to Oher, the Tuohy family used him to gain fame and fortune.
Sean and Leigh Anne Touhy, played by Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock in the film, took Oher into their home as a high school student but never actually adopted him, according to the court filings.

The NCAA finds itself at a crossroads with Michigan and Jim Harbaugh as we enter the 2023 football season. What was once a negotiated punishment of a four-game suspension, the committee of infractions has decided to take things a step further.
Talks of a four-game suspension were first reported by Yahoo. The suspension would have seen Harbaugh not take the field with his team in the month of September. The NCAA has been investigating Michigan for recruiting infractions, centering on impermissible contact with recruits during the Covid dead period.
NEW ORLEANS – There is a potentially catastrophic policemen shortage in New Orleans with less than 1,000 officers after 1,106 in 2015 and 1,742 before Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
But there was no shortage of perhaps overly zealous security – aka mall cops – at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday when the Saints hosted the Kansas City Chiefs in a preseason game.
Saints’ Security Hassled Hero Kicker Blake Grupe
Dome security tried to stop Saints’ rookie kicker Blake Grupe (pronounced groupie) from entering the field because he didn’t have a credential. Players do not wear credentials.
Whether you’ve had your fantasy football draft or are still studying rankings, every fantasy manager could benefit from using this list of funny fantasy football team names. After all, just like Christian McCaffrey carried fantasy managers to a championship, your team carries its name for the entire season.

Fantasy team names reflect the manager’s personality, so be sure to find one that fits both a player from your squad and your persona.
In a 14-page court petition, the former NFL star alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never adopted him, instead tricking him into signing a document that gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has major shoes to fill, taking over for Aaron Rodgers as the team’s starting QB, but FS1’s Colin Cowherd wasn’t impressed by his first preseason appearance Friday.
Love’s numbers in a 36–19 win over the Bengals were solid but not spectacular, completing 70-percent of his passes for 46 yards and leading a touchdown drive on a short field during his two series of work.
But Cowherd was critical of Love’s play, pointing out his low yards-per-attempt and a key miss to tight end Luke Musgrave on third down.
The Rays placed shortstop Wander Franco on MLB’s restricted list Monday following the league’s investigation into social media posts involving the 22-year-old.
The team released a statement Monday, indicating the decision to place Franco on the restricted list was mutual.
“The Tampa Bay Rays and Wander Franco have mutually agreed that he will go on the Restricted List and take leave from the Club for the duration of the current road trip,” the team said in its statement.
Justin Verlander has already two starts for Astros since the Mets traded him back to Houston ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline. But his brief tenure in New York is once again a topic of conversation.
Former NFL offensive tackle Michael Oher, whose story of adoption by a wealthy white family was portrayed in the 2009 movie The Blind Side, said that the Tuohy family never actually adopted him but faked that fact to make money off his name, according to ESPN.
Oher filed a 14-page petition Monday in a Shelby County, Tenn., court that said Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy coerced Oher to sign a document so they could become his conservators shortly after he turned 18 in 2003. Although the Tuohys have long referred to Oher as their adopted son, Oher says that it not the case.
Wander Franco did not travel with the Tampa Bay Rays to San Francisco ahead of their game against the Giants on Monday. He also missed Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians.
Tampa Bay then placed Franco on the restricted list on Monday afternoon. According to a statement from the team’s communications department, he and the organization agreed that his designation will last through the current road trip, which ends on Sunday, Aug. 20.
