[@mshayashi]

I was very touched by the 'Blind Side' story of Michael Oher....Congratulations for him and his adoptive Tuohy family, for the Super Bowl Championship.

[@williamjohnson8735]

God did blessed Mrs Leigh tuohy n her family

[@elvengirl]

I cried like a baby during the movie The Blind Side. This story really touched me.

[@TLAlbert43]

Last night my wife and I watched the movie "Blind Side" and WOW...can't tell you how it moved me. So this morning I looked up Michael on the net...I am so proud to be in this country where this kind of story can exist. God Bless Michael and the Tuohy...what great folks.

[@jimmykong57]

This is one of the most heart-warming stories I have ever seen. God Bless all of them.

[@eriiikaaa21]

Just watched The Blind Side, I love it! It made me cry, such a sad yet inspirational movie

[@leoncaesar1922]

I'm a 60 year old man from Buckinghamshire England & I've played American football in the British Leagues many many years ago & I love watching American football films & ive seen so many, until the day I saw this one, well Sandra Bullock & the whole family, touched an average man's heart like mine & I had a few tears at the end, the real thouyes are the best, the No1 in my eyes for Humanity !!

[@Chlosman]

Just watched The Blind Side. He deserves everything! Such an amazing story!

[@OriginalToma]

Michael I know you are not going to see this comment but I just hope you know how special of a person you are. extremely brave and strong. Congratulations man... congratulations

[@redekulus]

There's so many amazing stories in sports, but this one has to top as my favorite.

[@robaustin4193]

I really admire this man. Disney didn’t have to change the story. Michaels story is great and I really admire the Touhy family to take in a good hearted kid. I’m happy for all involved. God Bless

[@CaliGirl8686]

I Can't Help But Get Teary Eyed. Trying To Fight Back Tears Of Joy. GOD Is Soooooo GOOD. GOD BLESS You Michael Oher & The Tuohy Family. :-)

[@kikenskie]

Thumbs up if you watched "The Blind Side" and cried.

[@Koukla377]

If only each of us do something to help and love those in need, this world woulbe something else

[@2120boy]

I saw this movie yesterday and after the first ten minutes my eyes werent dry the whole time, May God bless you Mike!

[@BeckhamCronaldo]

I watched this movie 4 times in 1week (2x alone & 2x with friends). 1 OF THE BEST MOVIE EVER! Never thought a movie can touch & inspire me so much! Micheal Oher: I have A LOT RESPECT for you, all those terrible things that happens to you still never give up & work yourself to the top! I saw this movie when I had a very hard time, I was (still) injuried from a achilles tendon rupture. You inspired me & gave me strength, I wanna thank you for that! Everybody should always believe & never give up!

[@casandrarhodan2602]

I love Ms.Touhy❤️ May God continue to bless her and her family🙏🏽

[@kurtsherrick2066]

I went to Briarcrest for seven year's and it was a sacrifice for my parents send my brother and I there. I went to school with two kinds of kinds of kids wealthy and kids that their parents sacrificed everything to send us. But it was a loving school and I got paddled on a weekly schedule by Mr. Clayton and Mr. Child's. I went to to the first High School and I believe it's the Elementary School now. I haven't lived in Memphis since 85. Go Saints! Thanks for the Education Briarcrest a school that if you knew the story how the school came to be that Briarcrest itself is a miracle.

[@TBMA125]

Amazing, I read the book 2 years ago. Awesome. It speaks volumes of the family that gave him a chance, to take him in their home, adopt him, and love him as they did their very own. God will always grant this family many blessings.

[@BayGV]

This woman has the kindest and most pure loving heart ever, truly inspirational person, woman and mother. Also, this film friggen ROCKS!

[@Romedude16]

yup i saw that movie today too its by far my favorite sports movie :)

[@sheaahuna9115]

his story is so inspirring ! I love the blindside

[@masterpiece579]

This is by far the most beautiful story of compassion and selflessness that i have ever seen or read about,, that goes to show you that even in the darkest of worlds you can still find a beam of light..

[@planefxr]

This is a great story, and a great movie! The Blindside was definitely worth watching, and I will watch it again and again! Thank you, Michael Oher, for sharing your life story with us. You are an inspiration!

[@ennalovinlife]

I just watched the blindside. I AM EXTREMELY inspired.

[@Stark_dan97]

Michael calls Leigh Ann mom, she's the only mother that he's pretty much had in his life. His biological mother has been arrested before. Michael said the relationship with his biological mother over the years has been rocky.

[@tammybray1455]

I was wondering if he stayed in touch with his natural mom .

[@Stark_dan97]

@@tammybray1455 I believe he does he said it’s not what it use to be! I believe my guess is her rights to Michael were severed which allowed the tuohys to adopt him

[@ancestralblue]

Thankyou Michael! And thankyou to the community of people who helped the true Michael emerge! These stories are so important!

[@lass-inangeles7564]

What a great story! Just think... it took 2 human beings a simple act of kindness to unleash the full potential of a child into a star. The black man who first took Michael to Briarcrest School, and the white woman who met him there and gave him love and a family. Such kindness, and such a huge reward. Well done Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy! I salute you! Thank you for your kindness and for making the world a good place.

[@oscar3114mike]

God works in mysterious ways.

[@socommaster]

Like during the holocaust

[@redmustang03]

Now he's got a fucking Super Bowl ring.

[@USERC18]

This man´s life will probably change mine..Honor and Courage, Michael... I will NEVER forget that!

[@ladymusic333]

Loved the movie, couldn't stop wiping my tears. Oh what a blessing. I pray and God continues to Bless him and his family.

[@MicBergsma]

I watched the movie last night with some friends wow I love it!

10 years later and you're verified now that's crazy. I'll be your first like on comment

[@TiffanyMathers1]

the blind side is my favourite movie

[@doughboyfresh61]

one of the most inspirational amazing stories i have ever heard in my life. i am truely touched by somebody i have never even seen in person.

[@CatMomo99]

I`ve been watched that movie..Blind side...it touch my heart..what a amazing story.Good on you TUOHY FAMILY..Thank God for showing you the way to help other kids out there. MICHAEL is a special boy..Thanks for making this story on film..wanda if everyone had heart like this family are..WELL DONE TUOHY FAMILY!!!!

[@Lseers08]

My Mama raised me to be an independent woman....Leigh Anne is who I want to be

[@VnTheMad]

No offense but religion have nothing to do with this...Not all Christians are good and not all none-Christians are bad. The amazing thing about this is Mrs.Touhy's decision when adopted Michael Oher, a black guy as her son, even though she and her family are all white. Truly to say how many on this planet will do that ? Leigh Ann Touhy is a kind-hearted woman we havent seen one for decades...I didnt believe The Blind Side's story was true until i search on the internet and i really touched ^^

[@esatdemir1466]

me too

[@truthsetsyoufree777]

Awesome movie, made me cry. His life story is so inspiring, touching and humbling. What a wonderful man and what a wonderful family. God bless Mike and family.

[@DARIOTZ29]

I loved the movie, Michael oher you and your family are idols. I wish there were more family's like yours, the world would be so peaceful right now if we did. Congradulations in making the NFL.

[@Stark_dan97]

You could tell when Leigh ann bought michael into her home he knew that he found his forever home. If she do what she had done Michael could be dead or in jail.

[@darlinglamaj9297]

and look now HE IS THE SUPER BOWL 50!!!

[@SIMBACHANEL]

The Toughy family is one to admire! God put you in eachothers path for a reason and that reason is to show people that there are still good people out there. You are awesome Michael!

[@MVProductions2010]

michael oher..u have my full respect..and touhy family...thank you to show us that there is still ppl out there..with a huge heart.

[@Margio182]

A teddy bear congratulation to this family

[@Xzmyra]

I'm a Christian but find that the biggest nonsense. Don't ever think as a Christian you are better than others or that none-Christians don't do anything for others. I know non-Christians who do better things with their lives than some Christians I know. Luckily, God doesn't just judge by your 'good' works cause we would hang if that was the case. If you're a Christian you should know better....

[@budmantpa]

My wife and I just saw the movie tonight. It was a great, inspiring, story. God bless Michael, and God bless the Tuohys.

[@JARpapa1234]

Even though he lived in these hard times he never gave up and he never let anything happen to his family he is an idol to all

[@bugsy1028]

Collins is super hot !!!!!!!

[@peterrodby2786]

You gotta go through Michael first.

[@nubserver]

Collins is a hawtie...wow..just like what i picture while watching the movie...

[@RipTraxx]

The Touhy family has restored my faith in humanity..God bless them. Beutifual people, inside and out.

[@James7lfc0]

Such a heart Leigh Ann and Her family had. From Nothing to evertything, Such a humble and down to earth family. God bless them

[@furstenfeldbruck7506]

Every family should adopt a black baby

[@vishalranganatha1293]

WTF 😂

[@aceule]

Fantastic movie! Incredibly motivating to reach out and get involved where you are needed... Loved it. Michael Oher is an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!

[@ruthietreselan]

Mrs T you are an angel !! God bless thanks for helping and paving the way for such a great success story and great movie !!!

[@CJAtlanta2]

I am not a football fan but I am a Michael Oher fan now. He was blessed to have a family take him in and love him. It just so happened that these people, his adopted family, were "winners" and driven people. This released his potential and made him who he is today.

[@ZaimahBeloved]

This was the best movie I've seen this year. Sandra Bullock deserves the Oscar. God bless that family, and Michael, for never giving up.

[@fatty88intit]

we watched blind side with my husband over and over again, still keep touching our hearts.. what a wonderful real life story..

[@matheusg21]

Man,great history,great family. I watched his movie and I can talk that was one of the most beautiful movies that I have watched in my life. The world need people like this

[@trinity1160]

What a great story. If only everyone could show the kind of unconditional love this whole family has for one another the world would be Utopia. God Bless them all and God bless Michael. I saw The Blind Side and like all of you guys immediately was fascinated by this story.

[@Cabeza281287]

Michael Oher...you are an example of life, your family too...how different would be our world with more people like you...I saw the movie and the story touched me forever...without being a fan of the sport, I`m your fan.

[@4bidden2c]

What a truly amazing family...god bless! We need more people like the Tuohy family in this world...

[@sherdon23]

Just got back looking at this movie. it was beautiful and touching. Michael I wish you all the best. God bless you and the Tohu family for adopting you.

[@CSayyid]

Many lessons in one great real life story. God bless all those who invested in Michael life and success. The movie was amazing

[@buffbob69]

I just saw the movie "The Blind Side" and have read online about Michaels' life which the movie followed very well. I have a Certified Therapy Dog and we visit many people in a year that need support and help. The Tuohy family gave Michael a gift they will never realize the impact of in his life. What the Tuohys' gave Michael is a special part of his heart that no one will ever really know. God Bless the Tuohys' and what they tell us we can all do, if only we do it.

[@jaggerryo27]

i was in tears when i saw his story,,leigh anne youre owesome..god bless you for your kindness...hope you can help many people like him...more power..amazinggg

[@50SteveF]

I recently read Michaels book. It was a selfless humble creation that was obviously written to give kids and adults hope to never stop fighting to better their situation and make the right decisions and choices. This entire story has taught this old man a lesson in humanity when I didnt think I could be taught anything about life. I feel blessed to have become aware of this story and think Mike Oher is one hell of a man.

[@mav51063]

Just saw this movie yesterday. What a testimony on the power of faith, hope & love! Everyone should see this movie!

[@lazaruza]

This is one of the best movie I've ever seen in my life, ( Blind Side ), based on true story, perfect acting and I have some tears when I see this movie, great beautiful life , on top of that LOVE was showed by his teacher, foster parents and people whom involved in his life, God bless y'all.

[@kathyrinathepink]

This is absolutely amazing. I can't tell how i'm happy to know there is people like the Tuohy family, people that see a problem, know they can do something to help, and help! This is a lesson. I'm not saying we should do the same thing, but at least be open to oportunities where we can give something of ourselfs to make other people's lives better. I take my hat off for Sandra Bullock, the Tuohy family and to everyone that did such a great job putting this story out there for everyone to see.

[@juanmacru]

michael its a great sample of life its a honor to watch he¨s story here in mexico thanks mike god bless you and family

[@edygl2]

hy everybody,i want to say that I am from europe and i don't like american football but this story of Michael Oher impressed me a lot and I started to look at american footbal. If i can i will make the same thing for who needs help....only good for Michael and his family..take care

[@profaneslave]

In such a hateful, shamless, materialistic world..........this story is a fix for any good person having a rough time. Flat out rocks. A kid that started out like that (not his fault) but found purpose & love and now is an inspiration to thousands of kids. Yo Michael,..................you rock bro!

[@lilmsnorz]

The story has inspired me and my mom! Thanks to the Tuohy Family for showing what it should be like to be TRUE Christians!

[@skap34]

Big Mike is inspiring. I wish to meet him someday. He is a blessing to all. I pray that there will be more Touhys out there.

[@Stefylubsu]

AMAZING!,.. absolutely inspiring to see a persons life changed because of the good of strangers. I wish all people would open their hearts and homes like they did and help at least one person along the way.

[@marcsiesbarna]

I watched the movie and decided to see more of Michael Oher, it is a moving story, I'm glad to hear there still are good people, happy for Him to get where he is now, He deserved this. :)

[@Desicomplete]

Micheal's Story and the Film actually Inspires you and motivates you to do anything it brings you hopee by giving out the message that anything is possible in life if you work hard for it :D

[@WVGID21]

Such as awesome story...The movie really allowed me to see just how blessed I am....Glory to God

[@xandereiss1]

wonderful story, and a wonderful family that adopted him well done for all of them, by being great people, they certainly have a good heart.

[@slinger1000]

To all of the Tuohy family - awesome! To Michael Oher - you have true courage, and are a reflection of your family. It is obvious that they are very proud of you.

[@schloopie11]

What a phenomenal story. Hats off to Michael and also a big hats off to the Tuohy family. Great movie and an excellent book. Its still hard to believe this is a true story.

[@barbara3d]

Hi Micheal. We have an adopted son. He always says "you saved me". I will leave it at that. Just wanted to say my husband was watching the game and told me about the story so I came to my computer to read the Times article. God is so good through your adopted family. God bless you and keep you safe. Great story of inspiration.

[@whitneyMN1]

This story is so amazing. What a wonderful happy family! There should be more people like this in the world!

[@kaka3040]

This story restores your faith in humanity.....to a degree

[@CreativeCaveman]

God Bless You and your Family for doing such a wonderful thing for Mike... Have watched the Movie...

[@SwissiOne]

Really one of the best Movies i´ve ever seen! Unbelieveble Stage performance especially by Sandra Bullock and all others. I dont cry often. Really not. Im one of these "tough guys" ... but in this move are some moments ... huuuhuuu :-) God Bless people like the Tuohys. These people form hearts.

[@jwd3012]

i love this heartwarming story, i wish more ppl in the world had the same type of compassion for there fellow man as the tuohy family. it doesn't matter where your from or your background, its what you make of it that matter's, whallow in it or rise and make something out of it.. love it!!!!

[@notblondetotheroots]

I was deeply moved by the Christ-like attitude of the Tuohy family, but also by the incredible inner strength of Michael himself. He overcame obstacles that would have destroyed others. For him to go from a 0.4 GPA in early high school to the Dean's List at Ole Miss... kudos Michael!!!

[@marvelandgroup]

What a great family with a big heart. Congrats Micheal and I hope you become a HOFer in the NFL.

[@just4mejt88]

i went to see this with my 2 younger nephews (14 and 11), my 2 younger sisters (20, and 17), and we all loved this movie. BEST work by far by sandra bullock. Go watch this movie. I saw it yesterday and my only regret was not seeing it earlier. Bullock definitely has to get a golden globe and oscar for her role!

[@mylifeisaverageist]

watched the movie just tonight, and I was touched and moved...and cried a lot. i agree we do need more people like the touhys

[@UnclePR]

Just saw the movie trailer too...Looks good. Michael Oher's story is very heartfelt. Respect to the man.

[@FullRaidersAlchemist]

Best of luck to you, Mr.Oher, your personal story is one that can surpass even the great sport of football.

[@geronimo6952]

I have seen this movie at least 25 times on HBO can not stop looking at it. This is truly how GOD shows us how to love and care. To see no color of skin but only to see the person and their need.GOD BLESS YOU Tuohy Family.

[@TheNBAfan101]

Just saw the movie. Best Sports Movie of all time Good Luck in the NFL Michael!
