what i found funny:
Freeze was the high school football coach of Michael Oher, whom the book was centered on, and the two had grown close during Oher’s career at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis. Still, taking time to read the book was not in Freeze’s plans. Instead, his wife, Jill, highlighted all the parts where he was mentioned, creating an abridged version of sorts that he could flip through.
“It’s my personality that I can’t sit and listen to anyone for more than 30 minutes, except for my pastor,” Freeze said in an interview this week.
he does the same damn stuff on twitter. a few other interesting tid-bits that seem pretty hilarious now.
“Man, I got to go sit with Pete Carroll and Lane Kiffin for a whole week,” Freeze said. “I learned a vast amount about recruiting and offensive and defensive football from those guys.”
But Freeze is still not the type to pore over game film for hours on end. A big fan of auto racing, Freeze regularly tapes Nascar races so he can fast-forward to the last 40 laps, stopping only to check out the crashes.
