    Cool. I really didn’t know the particulars, which is stupid of me.

    I don't think the judge or any other official will give one flip about her color wheel.

    Oher’s new book was published Aug. 8, so that might have something to do with this. This gets his name in the news while he’s doing his book tour.

    Probably a good time to compare and contrast the terms:
    • ignorant
    • uneducated
    • unsophisticated
    • and stupid
    and discuss how while they are used interchangeably in common conversation, they are not, strictly speaking, synonyms.

    He played seven seasons in the NFL. Who was signing those contracts?

    I thought I heard a while back that the whole story was hogwash. Was that not common knowledge? Maybe it’s the Mandela Effect.

    So it’s like TV newsrooms in 2023.

    He made it sound like adult adoption was not permitted, but Google disagrees.

    He's been consistent in his clarification of the real story for a while. When he was in the league and did media for his first book in 2011, he would make it clear that he was always motivated to find a better way, was already in and had excelled at athletics before he met them. He's been pretty defensive about that.

    Yeah, it seems a little farfetched that a seven-year-old kid trained him and taught him how to play offensive tackle. I'm pretty sure he was an All-State player at Briarcrest before he met them.
