Wonder if they will take away Sandra Bullock’s Academy Award and Golden Globe?

I bet Disney will not be making a follow up movie to the Blkndside.

So if this family doesn't take him in, convince me he ends up in college and playing in the NFL.

I say the odds are basically zero.

I say this guy is broke and needs money.

The Tuohy family claims Oher has been paid exactly what they have per the original agreement. They also claim this isn't the first time he's threatened to smear their name through extortion. Their attorney presented a pretty strong timeline and explanation of "facts".

The timing of this filing, coming after his NFL retirement, brings some credence to what you're suggesting. He wouldn't be the first pro athlete to blow through their cash.

Anybody can selectively go through the story and pick out stuff that supports one side or another. To me it's just a total mess.

FAQ: Sorting out 'Blind Side' claims

The legal truth is yet to be hashed out in a court, but both sides have laid out evidence about what happened between Oher and the Tuohys, not just in court petitions and news releases this week but also in their books and media appearances.

I've been blind sided by all of this.

Did Oher forget he wrote this?!

Michael Oher knew the Tuohy family were his "legal conservators" in 2011, despite claiming in legal docs that he just became aware this February ... and the proof is in the former NFL star's own book.

Oher wrote "I Beat The Odds: From Homelessness, to The Blind Side, and Beyond" -- a memoir that was released in 2011 -- and specifically talked about the legal relationship he had with the family.

"It kind of felt like a formality, as I'd been a part of the family for more than a year at that point. Since I was already over the age of eighteen and considered an adult by the state of Tennessee, Sean and Leigh Anne would be named as my 'legal conservators,'" Oher said.

Michael continued ... "They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as 'adoptive parents,' but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account. Honestly, I didn't care what it was called. I was just happy that no one could argue that we weren't legally what we already knew was real: We were a family."

Yeah that's not going to help his claim in court.
