What a shame. So unfortunate he could never find the real killer. 

I heard they took all the mirrors out of his house.

 

edit: interesting not a single mention on Buffalobills.com or the app.

I have his autograph...does the value of that go up or down after his death?

Does it have a bloody show print on it?

I may have shared this story before, but it seems appropriate to do here again now.

 

I am the Director of Tourism for a major hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario. In the early 2000s, OJ stayed with us for a couple of weeks.

 

It was in the timeframe after the “Trial of the Century,” but before the sports paraphernalia trial, that would eventually send him to prison.

 

We had a lobby bar and OJ would come down every morning and hold court for a couple of hours.

 

Now I have seen countless numbers of celebrities at the hotel in my 23 years of service. Almost all of them wear hats and sunglasses and keep moving to avoid unnecessary interaction with the public.

 

OJ, on the other hand, would come down each morning and do what can only be described as preening. He would strut up and down the lobby to make sure that as many people as possible saw him. 
 

Then he would sit at a prominent table and converse with, and sign autographs for, anyone that dropped in. If people had nothing to sign, he would sign a cocktail napkin.

 

I also found that he was polarizing with the guests of the hotel. Half were delighted to see him and half were disgusted that we would even allow him to stay there.

 

Not sure what that says about him, but I can tell you that it is unique in all of the celebrities that I have encountered.

"David Cook, who represents Ron’s father, Fred Goldman, said that the judgment in the case has now risen to $114 million due to interest.

As of February 2021, Simpson had only paid around $133,000 of the settlement, according to KNTV, which cited a Nevada court filing."

Not to derail things, but it makes me think of Pete Rose. Incredible career. Gets disgraced, then wants to be loved again.

Great.  Now we'll never find the real killer.

Wherever the real killer is, I'm 100% sure he or she is dead.

Any blood stains on it?

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.

 

I read that in one sitting at Barnes. Still did not answer that crime for me. I need to go back and read the counter arguments for his son, Jason, doing it. The insight FOR was really good.

Is his name going up on the wall at the new stadium?

Time to queue up the CTE talk!

No comparison.

 

99% of baseball fans love Pete a feel he should be in the HOF.

I highly recommend people give this Documentary a full watch and then come back and give your opinions on what a great guy OJ was

[skibum]

OJ never truly acted like an innocent man in any way, besides empty words. He absolutely did it, and I think he spent the rest of his life trying to convince the world, and himself, that he didn't.
