Michael Oher and Leigh Anne Tuohy of The Blind Side Make News

Michael Oher with Sean And Lean Ann Tuohy

Ironically, Michael Oher and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who's adopted son and parent relationship make up the story and movie called The Blind Side are making news at the same time, but for different reasons.

Michael Oher, now Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle, who followers of this space may remember as the focus of this bloggers' interview at the 2009 NFL Draft, was fined $5,000 for hitting Cleveland Browns defensive end Robaire Smith.

Reportedly, Smith had pushed Baltimore Ravens tight end Todd Heap after a play had been whistled dead.

Michael Oher rushed to his defense by attacking Smith, stating that Heap's his teammate, and given the same set of circumstances, he'd do it again.

Leigh Anne Tuohy Gives Message

Meanwhile, Leigh Anne Tuohy was in Savannah, Georgia, giving a message that everyone should hear, explaining that "We devalue people too quickly." Tuohy was telling the story of how she and her husband Sean gave the then homeless Michael Oher a home. Oher was eventually admitted to Ole Miss, Tuohy's alma mater (which was controversial in itself), and then was drafted by The Ravens in 2009.
