    10 to noon has been a punch out for me for a long time, but I thought the new guy was good filling in for Bob on the hardline, and I haven't minded him in the few times I checked in. If anything, Donnie is the weak link there.

    I want to get an outdoor burner for frying but it never dawned on me to just put it on the blackstone. I wonder if the heat transfer to actual pans like cast iron would be too slow?

    The other team isn't going to know what hit them when their receivers hand the ball off to Black and he houses it.

    That's fine I don't disagree, my main point that this isn't 100% Ohers story. It's not a biography of his life. It's about the circumstances of a specific period in time, and he wasn't even the prominent character in the movie.

    Depends on how integral your family is to your story. I don't know about the book because I haven't read, but the movie which made all the money featured the mom as the star of the movie, and Sandra Bullock won an academy award, so she was the most prominent figure in that story.
  7. Gene Parmesan
    Well because it's their story as well, but agree given what they are already worth they should just go to him, but then again at the time of the movie's release he was a first round pick, so it was pretty much chump change to everyone.

    Don't they write in appearance requirements? While not tied to the school, you aren't going to show up a Columbus, MO Ford, if you are going to school in Austin.

    According to the speed limits in Texas there are no scenarios that you should be doing over 85. Off the top of my head as to why not is that 100+ mph traffic accidents are probably rare in the grand scheme of traffic accidents, and an engine governor law would be pretty far reaching to prevent them. I have no idea if any other countries do that.

    Are there countries that limit the street legality of a car to a certain limit?

    I get it. They either didn't want to adopt him and give him rights to their estate, or getting the conservatorship was the easiest option to get him eligible for Ole Miss. Had he not developed into a good enough player for Ole Miss and took a scholarship elsewhere his relationship would be nothing more than friends. Had he went to Alabama then NFL you have the same story with no need for adoption/conservatorship. Until we get the screwed over facts I don't think either of those two scenarios are nefarious other than they steered him to their alma mater.

    I don't know when they sold the restaurants but he would have to be pretty stupid if he thinks the family that helped him through high school and college was going to give him 1/3 of a nine figure estate. You guys are taking the word family more serious than Dominic Toretto.
  13. Gene Parmesan
    I agree he was absolutely chosen because of football, but those facts seem to have been there all along, and they didn't have to choose anyone. As TwiceHorn has commented the book seems to make that a lot clearer.

    I am not sure what it matters had they never used the word adopted. Unless they are running some charity scam based on that. Obviously he truly wasn't your definition of "family" to them, but they still helped him. It's semantics in my opinion until we get to the receipts of him being screwed over. The only thing that's come to light so far is that the movie was a ridiculous embellishment of the true story, but everyone should have already knew that when they saw the trailer.

    I'm not delving into the NCAA rules as they are likely so ass backwards there is no point to make sense of it. As I understand the only reason he is anything other than a family friend to them is because he and they wanted him to go to Ole Miss, but they were boosters. Otherwise he'd just be a friend that they helped had that went to a different school. If the conservatorship solved the NCAA issues I don't really care vs adoption. Family is not strictly a legal term, it's commonly used to express a bond to the people you care about most. Typically that's blood relatives, but if it's not, I don't require an adoption in order for somebody to be considered family. If there is evidence that they screwed him out of money with the conservatorship, I'm all ears. I don't believe they got paid what he is alleging for the book/movie, and there is no evidence they were doing anything to his NFL money.

    Same opinion. I watched it for the importance of the story, but it tried too hard to be clever with the topic like The Big Short and it just didn't work.

    Give me carrots and corn over black olives. Olives are my kryptonite. There has to be something with my taste buds with olives, because I can't wrap my head around anyone thinking that is good. There are plenty of foods that aren't for me, but I can at least discern qualities in them that others may prefer, an olive just completely bottoms me out.

    When you sell your story for a book maybe it standard that it includes an option for the author to sell it for a movie.
  19. Gene Parmesan
    I really don't understand what it matters adoption vs conservatorship? I get that they have different legal definitions and duties, but otherwise it boils down that they did take care of him, and of course it was because he was good at football. Now if they screwed him out of money, I hope they get exposed, and he gets paid, but I don't really give a crap if the family let everyone think they adopted him when they only had a conservatorship.

    I had no idea the family was that rich. I never saw the movie, but just assumed they were suburbanite rich. Maybe this needs to be posted on the movie forum, but selling your story for a book/movie deal is definitely worth something. That should have all been given to Oehr given they had 9 figure worth, but I can't believe it would be millions of dollars. Non fiction anything wouldn't be a thing if those were the costs.
  21. Gene Parmesan
    Seems like the movie wouldn't had done so well if there were dozens of stories just like it.

    Nobody, Mcdonalds was just a stand in for any food service that people traditionally never tipped but are now being asked to. In theory those workers could be shifted to the 2.13 waiter wage scale if enough people tip. Also if a restaurant pays it's servers minimum wage or more, aren't they basically be able to keep all tips? The whole thing is ass backwards in our society. Even in simpler times there wasn't much logic in it.

    Why was his wife having trouble conceiving?
  25. Gene Parmesan
    I probably don't know what I am talking about, but if a waiter doesn't make at least make minimum wage between base pay and tips isn't the employer responsible for the difference? Also wouldn't a shitty McDs manager be able to pay his workers 2.13 an hour if he can prove that tips bring them up to minimum wage?
