If you owned the Bills would you acknowledge O.J. Simpson?


Recommended Posts

This is always a sticky situation. OJ is one of the top players in NFL history, he was the face of the Bills and city until the Superbowl Bills, and his accomplishments have stood the test of time. He also probably (he was acquitted) killed two people and the stories before that of him as wife beater etc.. are beyond awful.

 

I think the Bills have approached this correctly so far. You cannot erase his impact regardless of his fouls after. If the Bills put out a press release quietly on the day each year he hit over 2000 yds saying it happened I have zero problem. It happened and is an accomplishment. It doesn't need much fan fare either for it but it does recognize the accomplishment occuring.

 

I read a piece on espn about RBs and their decreased value and how coaches are legitimately afraid to even say or compare a guy to OJ as the standard of what you'd want if you draft a RB #1 or pay him etc.. So it kinda hurts their ability to even compare RBs when one of the best is taboo to basically mention anyway.

Tough call.He and L.T. i believe are the only felons in the HOF. One for Robbery,kidnapping. The other for sexual assault,with a minor. Both bad deeds,but their career was worthy. OJ had the juice...LT had the gin.

Maybe they were just "Grandfathered" in, as I doubt we see Sharper get in on his serial rape scandel, tho even after his charges he was nominated.

The thing about OJ is, if you put him in todays NFL, in his prime, he would be just as good as he was back then. The guy was like smoke, youd think you had him and he would just be gone. He was so big and powerful, and just had such moves, speed, elusiveness. Truly one of the all all time greats.

Let me start by sharing my condolences over the loss of Ron and Nicole and their families and friends!

 

Now, should anyone like to study the facts leading up to the crime, during the trial and post verdict, please consider reading O.J. is Innocent and I can Prove it by William C. Dear.

 

I, like many on this board and across the country never thought for a moment O.J. was not the killer of these two innocent victims. That said, for no other reason than reading pleasure, I dug into some long since and recently published evidence and as such, have no doubt that O.J. is not only innocent, the actual killer is named with more evidence than that which found O.J. justifiably "not guilty".

 

I understand the sensitivity of this case, so many years later...however, read the book, you too might be shocked at what has finally been made public and why!

 

PS - William C. Dear is a world renowned homicide investigator. For instance, he was appointed by the court to the exhumation of Lee Harvey Oswald.

 

PPS - In my personal opinion, what he did on the field has nothing to do with what happened in his personal life.

Interesting. Thanks for that perspective.
