    After re-watching Blind Side this week and seeing Clutch's interview with a very friendly and polite young man named Thabeet ... I'm wondering if we can get Sandra Bullock to come to Houston in her powerful, football milf, Southern accent and grab Thabeet by the jersey in front of McHale then lead him to the rim and say "you see that...you see that rim ... Your job is to protect that rim." Then she goes and grabs Kevin Martin and pulls him into the lane. "Kevin, come here, as she pulls him by the jersey. Thabeet, you see this man. He is you teammate. Other SGs get passed him all the time. You must have his back. You must protect him."


    Then Thabeet says,

    "Yes, ma'am." And the rest is history.

    How much can Sandra Bullock cost? :D

    She lives in Austin, maybe I will just pop over unannounced and ask her.

    She has a house in New Orleans. Perhaps I will leave the casino and get her during my two months work there beginning next year. :)

    You make a good point heypartner, what Thabeet needs is someone to instill a sense of aggressiveness into his play. He seems too nice.

    Maybe if Les promised to donate $1,000 to Tanzanian schools every time Thabeet blocked a shot?...

    So... how is Michael Oher doing nowadays? Is he a pro-bowl level LT or struggling at the NFL level?

    She lives in a city, maybe I will go to that city and get her to leave that city and go to the city that Thabeet is in.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but...

    Remember that the family in the Blind Side lived (and still lives) Memphis? In fact, the dad in the family (Sean Tuohy) is the TV color commentator for the Memphis Grizzlies, of whom Thabeet was member.

    So, I'm sure Hasheem has had contact with the family already and if the "Blind Side" remedy could have been tried, it would have already.

    She wouldn't be just a good asset, she HAS good assets.

    Wouldn't that be great to see Thabeet get whistled for "excessive blocking" like Big Mike.

    Also I'd like to know who "rewatches" the Blind Side.

    Was Netflix all out "The Bucket List"? :confused:

    actually, I totally forgot I had seen it before...that usually means I saw it on an international flight while half asleep and after a few wines.

    Holy crap, I live in Austin, and Sandra Bullock is like my hero.

    Do you happen to have her home address? :)

    Let us know what the bail amount ends up being and if the ClutchFans tip jar runneth over perhaps Clutch can help out with that part. :)

    Maybe the vehicle from last years attempt to convince what's-his-name to sign with us is still available for a road trip so we can van pool and just plain make a party out of it in case they won't release you to your own recognizance.
