I would have asked him why he didn’t know anything about football until his hot mom taught him the game in 12th grade.

That would fire him up. He hates how the movie made him look like he didn’t know the game until after his kidnapping.

He also has said

that the movie made him look like an idiot, but I thought it made him look like an underpriviledged kid who learned real quick once he had the chance.

Kidnapping?

A nice family took a homeless kid off of the street and gave him a nicer life. How is that kidnapping?

Well he was a kid who never had a bed before, so he really never took a genuine nap. Hence, they “kidnapped” him.

But really, they didn’t kidnap him, they brought him off of the street.

“bought” him off the streets, depending on how some people look at it.

I was reading something on Oher a while ago and it was talking about how good he was at basketball. Oher played for his high school and actually had some offers from big time D1 schools. FSU and Auburn were two of them. He is a freak athlete.

When his uptown high school football coach

first saw him, he was draining threes like a guard in the gym.

Bruce, why don’t you adopt MaLor and teach him field hockey. He would totally crush at Bryn Mawr. TMZ would follow him everywhere in his field hockey skirt.

by raven on Feb 15, 2010 12:49 PM EST up reply actions

Then he would have a reason to wear

what he probably already owns, in every shade of plaid!

Zing!

Really?

The fact that you are even thinking about me in a skirt scares me. Weren’t you on “To Catch a Predator”? Baltimore Warrior, you better watch out. Don’t post any pictures of yourself on here. I made that mistake with my profile picture and had raven sending me 2 emails a day asking for my phone number.

If I have to get mocked

about my Hawaiian shirt, you have to deal with your rhyming plaid skirt!

Not just Ravens fans comment here. At least he thinks the Patriots suck. Keep stopping by.

What happened to Patssuck 1-455?

Like most New England fans

He’s probably just laying low, waiting for the “fair-weather” when the Pats become an elite team again. (don’t hold your breath)

TMZ's clueless

I guess the guy hasn’t heard the 10,000 times that Michael has said that he doesn’t like the book/movie. I agree with Rexx, that it makes him look underprivileged, but smart once he got the chance. And truly courageous to even be there.

Big positive for the Ravens

I also think that if the book made him look dumb and caused him to drop in the draft, both him and Raven fandom should be very thankful. I know I sure am.
