I was a big OJ fan growing up. We moved out of Buffalo around the time he started playing for the Bills & he was the main reason any Buffalo games were shown nationwide, which was my only chance to watch Bills.
Growing up a big sports fan, my childhood heroes (other than my dad) were athletes & many also turned out to be great people, like Lou Brock (St Louis Cardinals), the Selmon Brothers (Oklahoma football), etc., However, not all of my childhood heroes were worth idolizing and some are now not worth remembering….OJ tops that list for me. In the end, my only wish for OJ was for a deathbed confession, but that apparently didn’t happen, or his family will never share it.
