Hadad had a great little soap box on the blindside story toward the beginning of super talk today. Very enjoyable
Hadad Soapbox
- Thread starter PK Dawg
- Start date
“More fictional than Star Wars”. When he said that I laughed out loud
Be looking forward to hearing that clip. I know what a humanitarian Tuohy is by taking in a 6-5, 300 pound boy, but not helping his "Erkel" sized brothers. Ray Charles could see what was really happening.
How about a link and approximate time stamp?
It is all publicity. You have to ask why this happened soon after his book comes out. It is all planned to drive up book sales.
Maybe so on the book but isn’t he entitled to his share of the movie $$$’s?
They tell lies on you in a movie and make millions from it, would you not be pissed too?

Shame on him for learning about the private movie deal, and his conservatorship earlier this year and telling his story. Shame on him.
Couldn't have been all that little of a soapbox, if Hadad was on it.*****
To be fair, "The Sound of Music" was complete utter ******** as well. Didn't stop them from winning Oscars.
The biggest one being, that it was Maria von Trapp that was the hardcore disciplinarian and not Baron von Trapp.
The worst part of this story is that a conservatorship for a 37 yo is still in place. The Tuoeys should've severed any control over his finance affairs years ago when he became a mature adult.
Do what? Those people made millions off a movie about him, and he didn’t get a penny. A little bit more going on than just wanting attention.
That link was really interesting. Didn't think I'd read up on the von Trapp's today. Thanks.
You mean the OnlyRebs are also the Sithspawn?
Maybe when I get irked at Kiffin I'll call him Darth Joey...

Oher just found out this past February what the rules of his Conservatorship status were when he was trying to get his book published. Talk about the Plantation.
17n Delicious!

So, he learned about this ago but by chance it is made public a week after his new book is released.? The timing is very suspicious. Don't believe for one moment this will not help book sales.

Imagine having being blessed with a God given talent. And all the people that try to get a piece of your profits when you are 18. A book comes out, which you share the money with everyone, just a few thousand dollars. But a movie offer comes in, you don't share that, thats 7 figures plus. You are his conservator so you own his business deals, because he is "incapable and mentally ill or mentally weak". So in the movie you show him as being dense and slow. Oher is not dumb, not sure if you realize how intelligent offensive linemen have to be to play in the NFL.
Oher received offers from Tennessee, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina and Ole Miss. Now imagine that no one knew that he was a highly valuable talent in his senior year of high school with Freeze. Really imagine that.
It appears that someone with knowledge of the movie deal spilled the beans earlier this year. And my guess is that deal is either confidential or going to another chosen fund that does not have the family's name on it. Just a guess.

Both things can be true. Hell, his bank account has some catching up to do thanks to his "family."
All the more reason to ask why the Tuohys still have conservatorship rights/obligations over a 37 yo grown man. It's not like he's Brittany Spears with a stripper's pole and a dog sniffing her.
"If Hugh Freeze is involved, it's sketchy"
