ESPN profile on Oher

It's interesting seeing the main characters in Michael Lewis' book "The Blind Side" (definitely a good read, if you can pick it up) on television.

The father of the family that picked him up has more than a passing resemblance to Friday Night Lights' Buddy Garrity, which is, for some reason, hilarious to me.

It's getting to the point, though, where all their profiles seem the same to me: inner city neighborhood w/ depressing music (often in black & white), then a benefactor comes into the picture with a sudden lifting of mood. Saw a piece on Missouri's Jeremy Maclin, and it was essentially the same thing.
