I love the story of CMR's recruitment of Michael Oher...

...as told in the book "The Blind Side."

As I recall, he placed a call to Leigh Ann Tuohy and asked her if he had a shot at Big Mike. She told him flatly that she couldn't see herself going to Athens for games. He promised never to bother her again, the kid signed with Ole Miss of course.

And she talked about how nice CMR was, how he never went back on his promise to leave them alone. What a nice guy he was!

When I read the book, in 2007, I think, I thought, "Classy guy!"

But as the face plants accumulated, I cared less about about how classy he continues to be.
