Book Review for The Blind Side
Many of us loved the Sandra Bullock movie The Blind Side. And so I bought the book by Michael Lewis – and it was terrific. A slightly different and more detailed story of Michael Oher’s rise from from a homeless teenager in the Memphis ghetto, with virtually no education to a starter on the NFL Baltimore Ravens.
But at least half of the book is about the changing salaries of NFL offensive lineman since the free agent system was established in 1992. For a former offensive lineman (not very talented) it is a great explanation in the changing strategies of NFL football from a run-dominated game to a pass-dominated game. And with that came salaries for offensive lineman that are sometimes the highest on the team.
A great read.
