I know it's easy to cast aspersions at Mr Simpson, but...

Who among us has not murdered our wife and her waiter friend a time or two, and then, after acquittal, written a book called "If I Did It"? 

Let he who has not committed a double murder and then brazenly mocked the justice system via a cheeky, taunting book publication cast the first stone!

I do still find it amusing that he made that book and because he'd lost the civil case he then lost control of the rights to it and they then changed the cover to this.

Is it a Bills football website, or not?  Simpson was found not guilty of murder, just like Tyreek Hill was never convicted of domestic abuse or whatever it is that people here constantly smear him with.  I don’t see the hypocrisy you’re talking about.

That doesn’t mean much. Especially if you watched the trial.

Even if he was pretending to be innocent he sure was able to show so much compassion for the situation :rolleyes:

 

Nothing screams innocence more than re-enacting a scene from the movie “psycho”to describe how the mother of your children was murdered. Seems normal to me.

Few here even remember Simpson’s college career. I followed it intensely. Most -if not all USC games in his senior year were televised because of his on field exploits. As a forlorned Bills fan then, 1968 was a terrible year. We lost 5 QBs to serious injury, eventually turning to seldom used WR Ed Rutkowski to finish the season. Throughout that bitter campaign, all Bills fans kept an eye on O.J. as we may well earn 1st overall pick in ‘69. I vividly recall the fear and tenseness the final weeks of that season as Philly was equally inept on the field and it very close. Then Philly won a game very late and we ‘earned’ the 1st pick. WNY was beside itself with anticipation and when he 1st reported he was swarmed over at the airport. One of my favorite players at the time was Gary McDermott (no relation) who wore #32. So O.J. was issued #36 and there are many pics available of him wearing that number. But McDermott was cut at final cutdown and the number given to Simpson. Gil Perrault and Bob McAdoo were huge 1st rounders but they paled in comparison to the arrival of O.J.

None of those three could hold a candle to John Hummer!

Four posts in and you've managed to say absolutely nothing...are you going to contribute to the thread or not?

I know you don't realize it but my point is made and says plenty! Have a great night!

And then the Bills’ coaching brain trust decided OJ was best used as a decoy in his first three years in the NFL…

This is such a joke of an argument.  I think there's a lot of people in here who never watched the OJ Simpson Made in America documentary which was well done.  He just simply was not a good person.  He was not only a sociopath but a huge NARCISSIST who was good at tricking people into thinking he was a decent guy.  To me the fact that all of his old inner circle from back in the day walked away from the guy is most telling.  They would know better than any of us. I get he was a great football player I really do but I think sadly some fans really seem to struggle letting go of those feelings of him being a great ball player.

I read these posts and not sure if I should laugh, get mad, or cry; man we got problems! But hey this America 2024!

I had two turtles I kept in one of those little oval turtle habitats with the plastic palm tree.  They were named OJ and Sogge.  Steve Sogge was the USC quarterback.  That’s how big OJ was.  Knowing he could be a Bill had a seven year old following USC’s college team.

I remember seeing some special regarding his college career when we drafted him. I was a kid, and I think that might be the most excited I have ever been about the Bills. It was THAT BIG!
