One thing I can say is he could carry the football. A great RB.
First NFL running back to rush for 2,000 yards in a 14 game season.😎
And he was just about to sign an NIL with Dr. Pepper. Yeah, I know…
Also the first NFL running back to commit a double homicide and then be acquitted with the help of a lawyer whose wife he had slept with. 😎
only good thing was his skill as a running back. As a man………..
This is the best!
People should give him a break, it was his first double murder…
I had a lawyer ask me that one time. I had to turn him down.
Some of his golfing buddies say he had a killer slice
After watching social media for the past 24 hours, one thing is patently clear - OJ is as divisive in death as he was in life.
From watching many documentaries on murderers, he was certainly a really nice guy who no one would ever have suspected could do such a thing. 😏
Him and Ted Bundy were both likeable I hear.
He was an American Icon. Probably the most famous athlete of his day and beloved movie star. Complete shock to the nation.
He a DV expert who got away with a lot. Unfortunately, there are millions out there.
His next stop since entering the portal might not be too pleasant?
one never knows what was in his heart/mind at the end - might surprise folks.
Absolutely!
“Will you remember me?”
“Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
That's my point. He was one of my heroes too, as a kid. I watched the chase from the Chili's bar in Athens while I was working. The common factor is that we assume the external appearances and performances of people is the same as their inner selves, which causes us to be surprised when they do things that, in reality, are in their natures to do all along. We can never really know someone from afar, but we are capable of loving or hating their public facades or choosing to ignore them if we like watching them preform.
We found out afterwards that not everyone in his circle saw him as a good guy all along and after the trial his callousness, ego and lack of empathy really came through to the world.
Or not. Anyone, friend or family, who came to see him the last week had to sign an NDA. Vain and controlling to the end.
True. Plenty of people had no idea of the DV he inflicted on his wife over the years. Not many knew of his drug abuse. But locally, his behavior was well-known.
I met and spoke with him a few times. Very charming.
He isn't excused from his actions although it is worth acknowledging that one of the foremost experts on CTE believed OJ was likely a sufferer and in particular because he had an abnormally large head. Physics.
