The Blind Side

Finally went to see the Blind Side this afternoon. Terrific movie, very positive. Sandra Bullock was amazing, and it reminded me why she has always been one of my favorite actresses. Michael Oher's story was pretty amazing, even if they took some liberties with it. And if he is as half as positive about his misfortunes as a child as the film portrayed him to be, it's such an important lesson. There was no reason someone like him should have ended up an NFL player, drafted in the first round, first runner-up to the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. But he did that.

A good man and a good role model. One reason to root for the Ravens (though until the Superbowl, it's Indy and Nola!).
