Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Michael Oher is accused of assaulting an Uber driver last month in Nashville, Tenn.
Oher, 30, was charged with misdemeanor assault after police said he pushed the Uber driver to the ground and kicked him in the leg over a fare dispute on April 14, multiple Tennessee media outlets reported Thursday.

Did Her blindside him?
I thought UBER Fares were paid in advance through the App.
He’s supposed to protect the blindside, obviously he no longer cares about his true mission in life.
Story is lame...classic case of a taxi driver taking someone on a route that isn’t the route you’d like. Rider complains, driver pushes back.......next thing you know, there’s a shoving match. Dumb assed cab driver tries to shove a huge passenger and loses the pushing match. Idiot. Move along, not much to see here.
Uber charges a pretty standard rate by both time and mileage, like most taxi services. There’s really no arguing the fare, you an only argue about the route taken... and for most rides, that difference is going to account for about a dollar or two. I presumed that Oher, between movie royalties and his long NFL career (3 contracts totaling $40.8M so far), wouldn’t have to worry much about an unexpected $2 addition to his credit card.
Read the book. The writer is great. A lotta Bill Walsh and Lawrence Taylor mentioned + the technical aspects of football. Oher? He was a fish outta water the entire novel. The movie I didn’t bother to see. Susan Bullock does not pass as somebody’s mom. In one chapter Oher decides he’s gonna hurt someone. The reader feels he’s justified. Maybe a leopard just can’t change his spots. Still I’d side with him.
They asked the drive to stop so they could go to the bathroom.
Idiot football player trying to play tough guy. Hope he sues the jock off this guy.
I’m reserving judgment. His family are members of our old church and I know they are good people. We moved and changed churches, so it’s been several years since I’ve seen either his dad or Michael. I don’t know what happened here, but even if he was in the wrong, I believe deep down he is a good man. Unless he’s really changed, it’s hard to imagine he would simply attack an uber driver. I think of him as polite and rather shy.
Other night Uber had a $50 bump from the airport because of congestion pricing. It’s not always $1 or $2 dollars.
Susan Bullock? Sandra is her name.
Typical Ole Miss alum.
“Typical Ole Miss Alum”
What? You must be an LSU fan
Sandra bullock looked so dang delicious in that movie
She did. You know, she turned down the role at least 5 times before grudgingly accepting? But she was born for that role.
Oooooh, you have a guitar.....
