This is a bit like sending Al Capone to jail for tax evasion, but still, it is nice to see there is SOME justice in the world. ESPN - Simpson |

Maybe he'll find the real killers somewhere on his cell block.
The most amazing thing about this is that the conviction was on the anniversary of his acquittal for the murders.

I can't believe OJ Simpson is over 60. When the #%^$ did THAT happen?!?!?
Anyway, as my mom likes to say, "Good riddance to bad rubbish."

HEY NOW! Don't you start, wiseass. Besides, my mom could kick Mary Poppins' butt at everything she does.  (I hope all of us believe our moms our superhuman heroes. Or, if you don't now, that you will someday.) |

Is it bad that I saw this thread on the sports board and thought it said "Sampson Convicted"?
I remember the original OJ trial but I don't associate him as a sports figure even though he clearly is one. Nor would I naturally associate him to his acting career because Naked Gun and all that was before my time. I don't know how common this is amongst Generation Y-ers (even late Y people like me) but for me OJ was famous for one thing only: the trial

I can't stand the guy, but he is one of the top 5 running backs of all time Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, OJ Simpson. Simpson won the Heisman #1 pick in the NFL Draft First guy to rush for 2000 yards in one season, etc. Was the primary spokesman for Hertz, appeared in all their ads. This guy was everywhere. He was like Michael Jordan, or Tiger. That's what made the murder and trial so incredible and famous. |

The real shame of this whole sorry frame-up of poor OJ isthat his new prison locale will keep him from scouring the golf courses and nightclubs of America in his desperate search for the "real killers".

Reminds me of that time at Irish Times when OJ got off and Bob Packwood didn't. Good Times.

Maybe he'll find the real killers somewhere on his cell block. I always thought OJ would be the one to find the WMD in Iraq.  |
