Big Mike

If you have not taken the time to read the article about Michael Oher in the New York Times you are missing out. It is an incredible article that I highly recommend. The article is pretty long so be sure you have some time before you start reading. It tells the story of how Michael was taken in under a caring families wing and he was transformed from a kid who could not read and write to one who is now an All American at Ole Miss.

The article tells the story of Michael's first football game. Oher blocks a kid 25 yards down the field, over the opposing team's bench, over the track, and into the fence surrounding the field. Oher had full intentions of putting this kid on the bus, for talking smack to him the whole game.

It is a great read, check it out here http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/magazine/24football.html
