Former NFL football player Michael Oher, whose story became the inspiration for the Oscar-nominated movie "The Blind Side," signs books at an event for his new memoir at a store in Baltimore Aug. 21. The Memphis couple who took in former NFL offensive lineman Oher when he was in high school denied in court documents filed Sept. 14 that they used a legal agreement between them to get rich at his expense and lied about intending to adopt him.

Oher has been battling the Tuohys in court about a conservatorship that gave the couple control over Oher’s finances, education and medical decisions as well as the ability to sign contracts on his behalf.
