On a Lighter Note....

On Saturday afternoon I was watching the NFL draft when the story of first round draft pick Michael Oher came on the air. "Big Mike" is a foster care success story. Now a multimillionaire, Michael Oher was placed into foster care at the age of 8 when his father was murdered and his mother became a heavy drug user. He bounced around to four different foster homes before the age of 16 when he was adopted by the Tuohy family, a rich white family from Memphis. With the help of the Tuohys the 6'6 330 lb Oher, overcame major learning disabilities and attended college at the University of Mississippi where he was a standout Offensive Tackle. "Big Mike" has had an amazing journey and has one of the most heartwarming sports stories of the year.
