Oher on "The Blind Side"

I'm writing a note for tomorrow's paper on what Ole Miss lineman Michael Oher had to say about "The Blind Side," Michael Lewis' book that essentially serves as a biography of Oher, among other things.

The kid has a remarkable story that you kind of have to read about in detail to really believe. Here's a pretty good retelling from the NY Times.

Anyway, Oher said he hasn't read the book and doesn't plan to. Why?
"I lived it."

Makes sense, I guess.

Here's a profile of him and his life. It's pretty incredible.
