Feel-Good Football: You Probably Need It

If you’re a Chiefs fan, which this demographic likely is, you probably need something good related to football. I’m a Bears fan, so I need it, too.

Michael Oher with his adopted parents

Which is why everyone should read The Blind Side (The Evolution of Game), the story of Michael Oher‘s tragic childhood, his adoption by a family in his teen years, and his eventual rise to play in the NFL. It’s a true story that, were it not so publicly documented, would be hard to imagine.

This is why you’ll love this book:

  • The book doesn’t have Sandra Bullock like the movie does
  • The author, Michael Lewis, wrote many other amazing books you’ll become a fan of
  • It is easily the most humbling story to come out of sports recently
  • There are zero mentions of Brodie Croyle

Stories that reflect compassion in sports are always touching, but this really is something even non-sports fans should check out.
