Blind sided

[DirkPiggler]

I hope the Tuohy's are vindicated.  Seems everyone, with zero proof, are taking the side of the football player.  Not sure why but have my suspicions.

In other words, you're just being a contrarian for the hell of it.

He probably thinks Hootie is a fine, upstanding Christian.

There was a video posted on the old board of Lee Anne speaking to a women's group about how she had to persuade Nutt to play his part in the movie and the bad things he said about the UofA and how he said he would never wear Razorback gear, not even to portray himself in the movie.  Her whole demeanor was of a Royal bitch and her description of Nutt was the same. Fuck her and Nutt. Theirs is no doubt that they manipulated a child and a system for their own benefit and for that of a high school and their college. I'm not saying they didn't help him tremendously, but there was always another agenda, and the top of that agenda was inflating their egos.

That being said, this sounds like a cry baby victim deal that Oher is using to shake them down for some cash, so fuck him too.



And fuck Old Miss.




And fuck Nutt.

[Too Big Pig]

All I have to add, is that if they really adopted him and treated him like a son, that had obviously fallen apart at some point way before this. It wasn't like he was hanging out over there for Christmas this year and then dropped this in August.

I thought about that when reading all the thread. I hope someone brings it up during the touchdown club speech and Razorback Hall of Fame ceremony.

Yep, to ALL of that.

I'm just here for the Ole Miss bashing, and thoroughly enjoying this thread.

I can't wait for the Game Day poster boards.

A few thoughts:

1. I believe the Tuohys first motive was to help a good football player get to their beloved school to make Ole Miss better in football. (I hate Ole Miss sports)

2. I believe their second motive was to help a poor young man and make a good story that holds their name in a good light in the community.

3. They never needed money. Sean Tuohy sold his company for $213 million.

4. As far as the ability to put together a legal team, the Tuohys have more "F.U. money" than anyone in the mid-south. Their daughter married Fred Smith's son. I noticed Steve Farese on the legal team yesterday on the news.

5. Sean Tuohy said that they received a fee for the book rights and split it 5 ways between Oher and the 4 Tuohys.

6. If this is indeed a shakedown, they should run the entire legal marathon and make Michael Oher go the distance.

7. Whoever noted the similarities with the Colin Kapernick story nailed it.

where did Sean or anyone say they split all that money five ways with Oher? He didn't get a cut at all supposedly.

Why maintain the conservatorship for more than a decade after this admitted estrangement?

[SwahiliSteve]

yeah why at 37 plus is he still in a conservatorship. Why wasn't that ended long ago after he was done with college. Were the tuohys involved in any of his nfl career and decisions

[hit_that_line]

Creepy SJ got $250k plus 2.5% of net proceeds on a film that likely cleared $350mm on a $29mn budget.

[Show-Me Hog]

- if it were me (Tuohy)
- if they're rich
- if they will not have a relationship with him any more (due to the desires of one side of another, if any family tie is dead)

I would cut the guy a check and get this out of the news ASAP. Right or wrong I wouldn't want my name dragged through the national media mud for any longer than necessary.

[SwahiliSteve]

Doesn't look well that Oher mentions the Tuohys as conservators three times in his book. I guess all those head injuries made him forget that along with the 100k he got from the book/movie shit. At the end of the day I'm guessing all parties involved on both sides are complete pieces of shit.

yeah I'm sure the fam doesn't appreciate him fucking up their story after Sean claims they got zero

Legal filing says $250k+2.5%.
