No way...I'd be surprised. The Bills released a player for an unvetted accusation that never saw a trial...Can't imagine they will recognize an accused murderer who was convicted in a civil trial and by all accounts, the majority of the US population believes is an actual murderer.
Who did they release for that? Wow.. so all someone has to do is accuse me of something and my career is over. Hilariously sad times we live in.

Personally I think it would be sad if the Bills didn't acknowledge his death. He was a GREAT Buffalo Bills player. I've met OJ on multiple occasions throughout my life and he's been one of the most approachable, gracious, ex-football players I've met. I wonder if any of the people that calls him a terrible human being ever met or spoken with him? Maybe he had a Jekyll/Hyde personality. I've had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Jekyll each time
They should but who knows. Nowadays everyone is so afraid to god forbid say anything that may offend anyone. It’s all about pandering and being inclusive ad nauseam. What they should do is state that what he did on the field was not done before or since. Period. His peak was remarkable and his records may never be broken. Leave it at that. This is the NFL no more, no less.

It’s funny how many people suddenly turn into couch attorneys the moment OJ gets mentioned. What plenty of people casually overlook is that Nicole had someone else’s blood under her fingernails. It wasn’t hers, Ron’s or OJ’s. People should look a little closer at OJ’s son.. his actions and mental state just before the time of the murders were absolutely chaotic. There is a lot of smoke there.

RIP Juice
never saw him play live but his stats/highlights are incredible. Then he had an incredible post football career. If that incident doesn't happen, he'd be remember as 1 of the goats
p.s , if ya haven't watched 30 for 30 called June 17th 1994 , it's an absolute must watch.
So many great sports moments were going on at the same time as the infamous Bronco chase. Just watch and thank me later
He is one of the GOATS.. He was a phenom athlete. There’s no denying that. Top five back of all time imo. From a pure talent perspective he was about as good as it gets.
-
I saw some of his highlights at USC recently.. he’s got more highlights in college than most backs have in an entire pro career. One of the very best players ever.

The best back of the 1970s and a top five back of all time. Phenom talent.

I have Thurmans rookies all 3 that hurts the value that when the market exploded the first year proset and score came on the scene. I have them graded with really high grades. 9.5 gem mint for tops and score and 8near mint for the pro set. It's funny I picked the 9.5s up for 25 bucks each years ago. Check em on ebay they fetch around 200 bucks now. The pro set I can never ever find any graded. They just weren't worth it. It's like before covid I picked up a gretzky rookie graded 5 for 125 bucks now 800 all day.
Ha! Man I have been looking around for a signed Gretzky photo or card for a while and the prices are just thru the roof.. obviously he is one of those very few “it” athletes that transcends his sport.. it’s impossible to find something legit of his at a reasonable price. Even the “acceptable” condition stuff is priced high.

It is hard to believe, however, most people outside of the Buffalo market don't even remember who Thurman was unfortunately. As great as he was, his name is never brought up when people think of the great RB's.
I've also got 6 Barry Sanders rookie cards and 6 Emmit Smith rookie cards......the Sanders are worth about $150/piece......the Smith are worth about $50/piece.
It's the same thing, even though Smith owns the all-time rushing title which to most people outside of Dallas means nothing, Sanders is arguably the best of all time, so his card sores, while Smith's is stagnant.
Very, very bizarre market indeed.
I don’t want to go off on a tangent here but boy did I always find Smith overrated during that 90s era. He couldn’t do half of what Thomas used to do. Forget the running for a second.. just take a look at the blocking and receiving. Thomas was a legit three down back, the most versatile of the three. Sanders was just as shifty and quick as it gets. If I were to rank them…
1) Sanders
2) Thomas
3) Smith

Have OJ's legal problems/reputation caused his football collectibles to sink in value, or soar?
I can see it going either way.
Just wondering.
Hard to say.. his signature definitely isn’t cheap. Someone mentioned that Thurman Thomas’s rookie card fetches like $3.00 now? Not signed obviously but still. A value that low for an obvious hall of fame player. I can’t make heads or tails out of it.

Oh, and i've got a Buffalo Bills fishing lure, believe it or not.
A Thurman Thomas rookie card is worth $3.00 ? Hard to believe. What a bizarre market.

If you want OJ signed gear, come to Vegas, he lives here and signs everything
I have a photo and mini helmet signed by OJ. I’m good. I took a look around for some Josh Allen stuff recently but it’s over the top expensive. Maybe after he retires..

I’ve got so much stuff I can’t remember all of it. Here’s what can remember.
autographed balls by:
Allen
Kelly
Reed
Moulds
Evans
Kelly, Reed, Moulds
Poz
a few other with misc guys like Nelson, Moats, etc.
autographed jerseys:
Evans
Jackson
autographed pics:cj Spiller
Kelly
Lynch
full size helmet autographed by
Kelly, Reed, Thomas
mini helmets autographed by
Poyer
Hyde
tons of autographed cards from 90s Bills.
probably my favorite item is from when I lived in Vegas and ran a restaurant. I happened to have an official NFL “Duke” ball in my trunk at the time. And Stephen Jackson came into my restaurant and ordered about $150 in wings. One of my employees notified me that he was in the restaurant. I gladly comped his entire meal and didn’t feel bad about asking him if he would sign my Ball. He did it gladly. Really cool dude. Deserves more credit than he gets for a fantastic career.
Like I said I have tons of stuff, probably leaving out a few things. But off the top of my head that’s what I’ve got.
Impressive! There’s nothing like getting memorabilia as a kid though. It’s great to be able to go to a signing or just buy it somewhere as an adult but being a kid and getting things like this is on another level.

I have a football that OJ signed for me the year he gained 2003 yards. The signature is mostly faded after 50 years, but it’s there.
That’s an amazing piece. Keep it away from direct sunlight and it will last for generations.
-
Anyone here collect? If so, what are some of your most prized Bills related items?
I mostly have some signed mini helmets and photos, but I do have an OJ Simpson rookie card, Kelly & Tasker rookies. Have some mini helmets and photos signed by a number of the 90s Bills. Not much of a jersey guy.
May need to add something from Josh Allen to the collection.
Go Bills!

So she played football, got hurt.. and she is suing now?? This exemplifies today’s youth & entitlement pretty well. An embarrassment.

Honestly who cares. That team became irrelevant the moment Brady left. The writing was on the wall. The Pats have returned to actually being the pathetic Pats. I wish Bill would still be the coach there so the Bills could dominate him for a few more years.
-
My opinion of him would improve because he would hypothetically manage to get further in the playoffs. It would be a bitter sweet accomplishment like the other Super Bowl appearances.

Just heard McDermott reiterate that “Only one team gets to lift the Lombardi trophy.” and that “31 teams go home disappointed every season.” In addition to McDermott having said this multiple times already I’ve heard Beane say something similar this offseason. My unpopular opinion is that I hate hearing the leaders of the team say crap like this. It gives everyone an excuse for failure every season. Oh well, there’s 31 of us. <shrug> No big deal. I wonder how he’d have responded to Bass if, after missing the game tying kick, he said something like that?
Your opinion is not unpopular as far as I’m concerned. There is a difference if someone says this if they won a few rings already and the team contends on a regular basis. When you do not win any rings and make comments like these it’s a loser mentality and has no place in the organization. That’s my take.

Fran Tarkenton & Dan Fouts were better than DM & JA. That's my unpopular opinion lol.
Dan Marino is the most overrated QB in league history. There, I helped you out.

DK Metcalf needs to be in a Bills uniform😎
the thing isnt even built?! How about waiting until it is before passing this kind of judgmentIt’s not hard to see the model plans.. feel free to take a look for yourself. It’s an ugly stadium model with absolutely zero charm imo. I wish that they would just add a few things to the current one. The new one is just a generic eye sore. But hey, to each their own.
-
That the new stadium is a total waste of time and money.. plus from the photos it looks hideous. Just another stadium with zero charm to speak of.

Hey all.
Anyone into collecting signed sports stuff?
Bills, Sabres & Red Sox fan here and I like to get an occasional signed 8x10, card or bobblehead.. not just from my favorite teams but from individual players I like e.g., Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Rob Ray, Jaromir Jagr,
Teemu Selanne, Steve Young, Magic Johnson, Carl Yastrzemski, etc.. I think I spent a little too much over the years, lol. Should do a headcount of my collection sometime.. what about you guys?
-
Brady dominated the Bills for so long that I was just numb to it.. I would just plan the L automatically. With The Chiefs it’s not just Mahomes.. it’s Kelce and Fckn Taylor Swift.. gimme a break. Are they going to show her after every Kielce completion next season too? The NFL released an entire vid of her responses to numerous plays at the SB.. it was posted on the official NFL channel on YouTube. The “darlingness” for the chiefs is out of control.

What you THINK you would do is a lot different than what you WOULD do if something like that happened relating to your son or daughter. Would you try to cover something up for your mentally ill son or daughter? Plenty of people would, plenty of people wouldn’t. If this was a cover up and OJ’s son Jason did do it.. everyone is obviously free to think and judge however they want. But as far as profiting from it and so on.. he obviously was not able to find any work on television after this whole thing went down so he decided to profit on it in other ways. I heard he turned down a heck of a lot of opportunities to make much more money off of it. This is one of those things that will forever live in infamy no matter what.
