The Super Bowl part sporting spectacle, part Hollywood blockbuster, a particularly fitting description for Carolina Panther's Michael Oher who had his life brought to the big screen in the Oscar nominated film "The Blind Side".
It tells his story of being taken in by a family who raised him as their own and set him on the path to sporting success
Sandra Bullock won a best actress Oscar for her portrail of Oher's adopted mother... Leigh Anne Tuohy.. But there's nothing like hearing the real life story, and that's what Caroline Barker did back in 2013 when she went to Michael Oher himself, who was preparing for his first Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens
