Michael Oher was found in a field, unable to communicate, living in harmony with nature. He never knew that other humans existed or had beds until The Tuohys civilized him and taught him Foot-Ball, because his size and aggression, honed after years of living off the land, made him an ideal OT.

this is bullshit, the truth is Oher was forced to walk in circles in a large grain mill known as the Wheel of Pain which is how he got so ripped for the NFL

Michael Oher crashed to earth in a spaceship, was found and taught by a turtle man and found the seven dragon balls and wished to win the Cotton Bowl.

pssh what really happened was Oher traveled to Earth on a spaceship that existed on a different timeline. So even though the trip took days, for him it was hundreds of years in gravity 100 times that of Earth. He used that time to do situps and pushups, raising his power levels over 90,000. Tuhoys recognized this and trained him for the NFL and also to beat Vegeta.

THE LIAR
I saw the last bit of The Blind Side on TV once and the only thing I remember from it was the white woman threatening to shoot a black guy if he ever came near the black kid she had kidnapped. And I thought wow, this movie is really racist. Then I realized that the black guy she was threatening was supposed to be this badass gangster guy and he and his fellow gangsters were all just totally cowed by a threat from some housewife and I thought wow, this movie is really loving stupid.

Lewis went to the same private school as, and was friends with, Sean Tuohy. Draw conclusions as you wish from that.
