Can't seem to make myself vote for OJ (though he was incredible as a football player)... Thurman was a key cog in one of the best NFL offenses ever... but I really admired Joe Cribbs back in the Chuck Knox era.

 

I know, it's kind of sad, isn't it?  Time was when the Juice could probably have walked from Orchard Park to Buffalo Airport, Crocodile Dundee style from fan to fan without touching the ground.

 

In hindsight, does anyone else wonder if CTE may have been involved?  Loss of judgement, loss of impulse control?

Who is your favorite RB that has played for the Bills and why? The RB could have found more success after their stint in Buffalo(Lynch) or not(Jackson, Spiller).  Maybe you prefer O.J. because of his role in naked gun. Any reason at all.

I picked Cookie. for reasons of legend.

Fred is my Man. He was my favorite.

LeSean is fun as heck and takes his craft seriously. respect there from me

NO.

 

He had a long history of violent, deviant behavior, growing up in San Fran.

Dark horse: marshawn Lynch is the realest you get. You can take the RB out of Oakland but you can't take the Oakland out of the RB

 

POS

Fred. I loved watching Thurman play. He was an elite talent, but there was something special about Fred. He didn't have any elite athletic traits, but his vision, and most notably his balance were elite tier. The guy did it all on a team that gave him nothing in return. He and Stevie could have been modern day heroes if we ever had a QB.

What a difference the era of social media makes.  I did not know that.  " Future wife Marquerite, his childhood sweetheart, described Simpson as "really an awful person then";[14] after his third arrest, a meeting with Willie Mays during which the baseball star encouraged Simpson to avoid trouble helped persuade him to reform"

 

Thanks - I think?  I guess his overall behavior makes more sense but....another part of an icon tarnished.

Yeah, he was a gang leader (allegedly) as a teen.

 

I judge his football career and personal life separately. I think it's fine to admire his on the field accomplishments. It doesn't mean you are glorifying anything he has done off the field. I mean, to act like he wasn't a massively talented and accomplished player is ridiculous.

Thomas, was my favorite, I was not around to see OJ play

I've got a Robb Riddick game jersey - wasn't around to see him play though.
