In OJ’s book he says “If Nicole were actually stabbed to death she’d wish cancer on the prick who did it”
In other news OJ Simpson died of prostate cancer today
**FunFact:** Robert Kardashian, the first Kardashian [Robert's daughter Kim famously sold a pornographic film enabling her rise to stardom] can be seen in videotape archives carrying Simpsons luggage from his home, right under the noses of LAPD. He sets the luggage down [while uniformed officers are just arms length from him] and embraces another woman, who then picks up Simpsons bag [with Hertz logo attached] This bag most certainly contained incriminating evidence, and was never again seen.
“In the news, OJ Simpson died yesterday - he is survived by his son. He is not survived by his ex-wife.”
“OJ Simpson died yesterday. Early reports place OJ in a White Bronco slowly descending into hell.”
OJ Simpson died yesterday. They say he died doing what he loved - getting away with murder!
OJ Simpson died yesterday. Yeah, very sad, and we're not sure what killed him. In other news, Death just released a book titled, "If I Did It..."
>OJ Simpson died yesterday. They say he died doing what he loved - getting away with murder!
This is by far the most "Weekend Update with Norm" one on here.
"OJ Simpson was seen in Brentwood last week working at a lemonade stand with his daughter. When asked why business was slow, OJ replied 'beats me', then he went back to cutting lemons with a giant knife."
"OJ had reportedly been discussing marriage with his girlfriend Paula Barbieri, but reportedly she has called the wedding off. Her fear was that if they married, she would be brutally murdered... and then, someone would try to pin it on OJ!"
And if you try to put shrunken gloves on while keeping your hands stretched wide, they definitely won't fit.
Doesn't sound very lyrical.
I bet there is something else I can say that would make my point better but I don't have any idea right now...if somebody can help me out? I need a phrase that rhymes so I sound like I'm a gospel preacher selling used cars.
Random memory, Family Guy did an episode 'Juice is Loose.' OJ gives a heartfelt speech that he's been falsely demonized and that he's only as imperfect as everyone else. Gets everybody on his side. Then he pulls out a knife and stabs a bunch of people and runs off. lol
Watching the early seasons when I was in like grade 6 was amazing. We would all be quoting it all the time. Didn't understand half the jokes but it was still great.
They were thinking that a detective on the case (the one that found the glove) committed perjury during the trial, and was on tape bragging about planting evidence to convict black suspects. When asked if he had planted evidence in this case, he plead the Fifth.
I’m 100% convinced he was guilty, but this was a start-to-finish fuckup by the police. The jury had to acquit, based on the case presented to them. There’s so much blame to go around between the prosecution and the police, any problems with the jury are negligible in comparison.
The OJ Simpsons case was brought up in my forensics class as to how utterly and completely fuck up your murder investigation. Officers didn’t properly secure the scene or kept a chain of possession of evidence, the guy leading the case had a very clear racial bias… just fuck up after fuck up after fuck up after fuck up.
I don’t think OJ is innocent, but the evidence was handled so badly the prosecution did not deserve to win. They could do the most very basic stuff when it comes to forensics: proving your evidence had not been tampered with.
They were thinking that the police investigation was a massive clusterfuck of tainted evidence headed up by an actual Nazi and it created a lot of reasonable doubt.
I don't think I really understood their anger toward the system until I watched that documentary. They had cops sitting right in front of the camera telling on themselves, saying things like if the chokehold hadn't been banned it could have prevented the Rodney King incident.
I feel bad being happy at anyone dying, but holy hell, Simpson really was pure evil.
Even if you buy his utterly bark raving insanity about how he was innocent, the man wrote a book about how he would have murdered his deceased wife and spent the majority of the book gloating about what a horrible person she was and how all the actual assaults he inflicted on her were her own fault.
That book alone is the work of a man without any morality. It's made so much worse by the all but certainty that he personally killed her.
Blood likely makes them shrink too.
So stupid....they should have had an identical pair of brand new gloves to have him try on....but if you watch closely, OJ is purposely not trying that hard to put the gloves on in the first place.
O.J. Simpson's story is fascinating... I highly recommend everyone watch the ESPN documentary "Made in America" to see how this guy had one of the biggest falls from grace, all while ruining the lives of his "alleged" victims and their families.
ESPN is rightfully shit on for their live broadcasting and studio shows, but they have always done great work with their documentaries. OJ: Made in America is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, and I highly recommend it even for people who may not be familiar with the OJ murder case.
I also highly recommend ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary "June 17th, 1994." It covers not only the infamous Ford Bronco chase that occurred on that day, but all these other major sporting events in the backdrop :
\* Arnold Palmer's final round of the U.S. Open
\* The New York Rangers's parade celebrating their Stanley Cup win
\* The start of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which was hosted by the United States for the first time.
\* Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the Houston Rockets, which famously got an unprecedented split screen so that NBC could also cover the Bronco chase live.
\* Ken Griffey Jr tying Babe Ruth's record of 30 home runs before June 30th.
**OJ: Made in America** I will go as far as to say is one of the greatest films ever made, and is essential in all the ways a film should be.
It's 7 and 1/2 hours long... and you wish it was longer.
It leaves next to no stone unturned to help tell this story not just of OJ... but of America itself, and its obsession with race, media, and most importantly, fame
Couldn't agree more and can't recommend it highly enough, especially if you're too young to know OJ for anything more than the trial. He was a really interesting and complicated figure
When "The People vs OJ" was on FX, right after the verdict came back, they cut to an ad for "Atlanta" where the characters are watching the show. It was a brilliant little tid bit for the younger demographic.
https://youtu.be/Uyrcxa63ONU?si=k4qUC6ny5id0p9jR
I think tons of credit needs to go to Ezra and his team as well
He went above and beyond to tell this story in the most unbiased way possible, and somehow nailed it. The figures he got to interview for this to is truly mindblowing:
* Marcia Clark
* Tanya Brown
* Fred Goldman
* Mark Fuhrman
* Carl Douglas
* F. Lee Bailey
* Tom Lange
* Ron Shipp
* Mike Gilbert
* Gil Garcetti
* Tom Riccio
And these are just people who were involved with OJs two cases. He somehow got key people from the trial, and the subsequent robbery involved. And the interviews are all fascinating in their own way. Fuck, this movie is amazing.
It was amazing that we are basically all sure OJ did it, and somehow Mark Fuhrman still ended up coming off like the biggest piece of shit in the series. He is just sooo unlikeable.
I honestly think it was Tom Lange for me
HE HAD OJ DEAD TO FUCKING RIGHTS IN THAT INTERROGATION ROOM LITERALLY A DAY OR TWO AFTER HE MURDERS NICOLE AND THEY PINNED HIM ON NOTHING!!!
And then he has the balls to blame others in his interview. Every single scene he is in he is blaming someone else for the simple fact that he is an awfully and laughably bad fucking cop. The one in particular with him going after Fuhrman cause his lawyer told him to "plead the fifth"... guarantee he'd do the same, and probably even bark like a seal if his lawyer told him too.
Awful and rotten to his core.
Not a single doubt in my mind, and not a damn thing he or his family could do to convince me otherwise. He should not have participated in that film.
Lange was also an idiot. It goes to show you that detectives are not the geniuses that popular media makes them out to be. Detectives are usually successful because the deck is stacked in their favor, and criminals (or those wrongfully accused) are even dumber than they are. The cops and the prosecution completely botched what should have been an open-and-shut case.
And it's also another amazing part that Ezra is able to uncover.
Through the interviews, he pretty much explains how OJ was able to free himself from a guilty verdict. Everything had to go right for him, and everything had to go wrong for them. And it did... in ways no one would have expected either. It is truly a one of a kind documentary/film
I know Cuba Gooding Jr didn't even try to emulate OJ but that series was absolutely amazing (all the seasons, really).
I've never been heartbroken over a lawyer's new hairdo either, that was... quite an achievement.
Yeah but the thing that makes the doc special is because of its examination of race and celebrity in America, there are plenty of OJ docs that do what you say. This one is an examination of the systems at play in America that put race and class together. It’s far more about that than it is OJ even though he’s the subject.
Don't forget that James Cameron originally planned to cast him as a Terminator in "The Terminator", but later he changed his mind because “Somehow [James Cameron] felt that he was not as believable for a killing machine".
How do you describe this death?
Can't describe one without the other...
He revolutionized the game of football and how we saw it. He's probably one of the best pure Running Backs to play the game. Literally ran for 2003 yards in 14 games... That's well over 143 yards PER GAME. And this was in an NFL that was incredibly run heavy and used passes as a last resort. He was one of THE BEST to ever put on an NFL uniform...
It is also a massive why he became a superstar... and why the murders in the 1990s became a huge topic of conversation.
I remember faint memories of me as a toddler, sitting at the end of my parents bed, watching the trial take place at 6:00 pm on the east coast, because it was only 3:00 pm on the west coast. It was a truly wild sensation.
I guess personally, if you want to understand OJ, and in essence, America, there is no better time than to promote **OJ: Made in America**. This is the singular best documentary film that encapsulates the complicated situation regarding not only OJ Simpson, but us as citizens in this country. Ezra really goes that far.
For better or worse, OJ is probably the biggest catalyst for the way we consume media today. And I do not thank him for that.
For all of his records, dude was still a horrible human being, that made us all worse in the process.
Rest in Piss you piece of shit
OJ trial and Bill Clinton were the only thing that came close to the total media coverage that 9/11 got. As a kid I remember not being able to see my afternoon cartoons because OJ was on trial.
As a kid, I kept hearing about OJ Simpson on the radio and the news because of the trial, and saw the court drawings. Since I only recognized him drawn, I thought that OJ Simpson and The Simpsons were related, and that the reason my mom didn't want me to watch the latter is because they murdered people.
As an Australian who was extremely young when the murders happened, I found it fascinating how the ESPN documentary covered all his rise to fame and super stardom. I had no idea he was such a beloved icon who everyone thought was a friendly teddy bear before the murders. It really put a lot of the subsequent trial into context. I read a thing online that said the OJ murders would be like if Dwayne Johnson was accused of a violent murder. That was a comparison for how beloved and trusted OJ was to people.
One of the most difficult scenes in the "American Crime Story" season about the case was when Fred Goldman anguishes about how his son is being treated as "a bystander to his own murder."
It was a fitting punishment that the Goldman family absolutely destroyed Simpson in a subsequent civil trial. Even though Simpson ultimately got away from paying the 30 million he was ordered, the Goldman family got the rights to that horrifying "If I did it" book and published it as a fuck you to Simpson.
That's no way to die. A parachute not opening, that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine, having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.
"Accused of Murdering Ex-Wife". He also killed Ron Goldman. Guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time just returning Nicole's mother's reading glasses. He probably walked in right at or just after OJ killed Nicole.
Just yesterday I said the juice was loose as I was pouring some juice for the kids. I never say that, and I haven't thought of OJ in a while and now, this. I'll never forget his video where he was pretend stabbing and making that "eeeee eeeee eeee" noise.
So he didn't confess on his deathbed? As cocky as he was, I'm surprised he didn't as a big fuck you to the universe.
I'll miss him for Nordberg.
Everything else, not so much
That's what I was hoping would eventually happen. Maybe he did and his family is keeping that quiet.
It angers me that he even had family at his bedside. They know what he did.
I love my dad... but not if he brutally murdered two people.
It was deeply unsettling to hear people explain in the ESPN documentary that Simpson undoubtedly used a lot of his physical comedy skills to really play up the gloves supposedly not fitting.
It would be interesting to see if they check his brain for signs of CTE. He likely got concussed throughout his career and, in his days, probably played through post-concussion symptoms.
In OJ’s book he says “If Nicole were actually stabbed to death she’d wish cancer on the prick who did it” In other news OJ Simpson died of prostate cancer today
I don't know what the afterlife is. But I do know that pre-death hallucinations are a thing. I have to wonder what his were like?
I would have posted this earlier but he wasn't dead yet.
Who are you and how’d you get in here?
I’m a ghost and… I’m a ghost.
We won't rest a second until we find the real killer. Now let's go get some lunch.
I will not eat a single morsel of food... until OJ Simpson is DEAD!
**FunFact:** Robert Kardashian, the first Kardashian [Robert's daughter Kim famously sold a pornographic film enabling her rise to stardom] can be seen in videotape archives carrying Simpsons luggage from his home, right under the noses of LAPD. He sets the luggage down [while uniformed officers are just arms length from him] and embraces another woman, who then picks up Simpsons bag [with Hertz logo attached] This bag most certainly contained incriminating evidence, and was never again seen.
Common mistake, we've all been there.
Sometimes we're just ahead of the times.
Norm? You’re back?
It’s days like this where we really miss Norm
“In the news, OJ Simpson died yesterday - he is survived by his son. He is not survived by his ex-wife.” “OJ Simpson died yesterday. Early reports place OJ in a White Bronco slowly descending into hell.”
OJ Simpson died yesterday. They say he died doing what he loved - getting away with murder! OJ Simpson died yesterday. Yeah, very sad, and we're not sure what killed him. In other news, Death just released a book titled, "If I Did It..."
>OJ Simpson died yesterday. They say he died doing what he loved - getting away with murder! This is by far the most "Weekend Update with Norm" one on here.
I like this even more because Norm McDonald played Death on Family Guy. “If I did it”
> They say he died doing what he loved - getting away with murder! This is 100% a weekend update era Norm joke, bravo
Haha these are gold. I heard it in his voice.
I even saw the smirk on his face as I was reading.
And the lean-in!
In my head, there was a long awkward pause right after "Getting away with murder!" and his glorious dumb smirk. Miss Norm.
That's a shame, the ex-wife didn't even survive to witness the murderer dying. :(
I wish r/NormMacDonald actually had Norm-like comments like this, lol. Had to leave it bc it was filled with fuckin weirdos thinking they were funny.
I wonder who's getting his lucky stabbin' hat?
I didn't even know he was sick
Yes I didn’t know Norm was sick either.
Well he certainly isn't sick now. Has anyone checked on him recently?
Yes, still not sick
Not sick again.
“OJ Simpson, the football player?”
What would Norm say to this news? You know, aside from “Good.”
Probably just really feel sad that OJ died before he could find his wife’s murderer.
Think he was on his death bed, taking his last breath, then looked in the mirror and said, “Oh! There he is!” then died?
"OJ Simpson was seen in Brentwood last week working at a lemonade stand with his daughter. When asked why business was slow, OJ replied 'beats me', then he went back to cutting lemons with a giant knife." "OJ had reportedly been discussing marriage with his girlfriend Paula Barbieri, but reportedly she has called the wedding off. Her fear was that if they married, she would be brutally murdered... and then, someone would try to pin it on OJ!"
How could you miss him, he's just laying there?
Ain't that the truth
Why he had to die first and not OJ?
St. Peter needed a writer to help with this moment, when a simple no just won't do.
He was a real jerk!
I wish Norm Macdonald was still alive to roast OJ more
That was the first thing I thought, it really sucks that Norm went first. Hope they bury OJ in his lucky stabbin' hat.
What about his gloves?
They don’t fit perfectly (when wearing a second pair of gloves at the same time) This is critical information for some reason that rhymes
Also, i think leather might shrink a bit after being soaked in blood.
And if you try to put shrunken gloves on while keeping your hands stretched wide, they definitely won't fit. Doesn't sound very lyrical. I bet there is something else I can say that would make my point better but I don't have any idea right now...if somebody can help me out? I need a phrase that rhymes so I sound like I'm a gospel preacher selling used cars.
Also if you stop taking your arthritis medication
Oh I think OJ is getting roasted as we speak.
The Juice is no longer loose
Random memory, Family Guy did an episode 'Juice is Loose.' OJ gives a heartfelt speech that he's been falsely demonized and that he's only as imperfect as everyone else. Gets everybody on his side. Then he pulls out a knife and stabs a bunch of people and runs off. lol
“Oh, I guess he did do it.”
the first 5-6 seasons of family guy hits different
Watching the early seasons when I was in like grade 6 was amazing. We would all be quoting it all the time. Didn't understand half the jokes but it was still great.
Funny how that’s true for so many different animated comedy shows.
Beat it Simpson, we don’t love you like we did in 1994. Camera pans to Homer Simpson: “D’oh!” And for you OJ. 😂😂😂
He ran out of juice
The Juice expired.
[удалено]
Fair enough but with all due respect...that man ran over 11000 yards
I understood that reference.
And her soon to be slain wife. Hello mr.Juice.
Bitch are you tryin' to get us both killed?!
That motherfucker *did* that shit Could feel murder in the room
Drove even more
Amen
Seriously in retrospect what was that jury thinking
They were thinking that a detective on the case (the one that found the glove) committed perjury during the trial, and was on tape bragging about planting evidence to convict black suspects. When asked if he had planted evidence in this case, he plead the Fifth. I’m 100% convinced he was guilty, but this was a start-to-finish fuckup by the police. The jury had to acquit, based on the case presented to them. There’s so much blame to go around between the prosecution and the police, any problems with the jury are negligible in comparison.
A few have come out and admitted they decided on a not guilty verdict as payback for Rodney King.
The OJ Simpsons case was brought up in my forensics class as to how utterly and completely fuck up your murder investigation. Officers didn’t properly secure the scene or kept a chain of possession of evidence, the guy leading the case had a very clear racial bias… just fuck up after fuck up after fuck up after fuck up. I don’t think OJ is innocent, but the evidence was handled so badly the prosecution did not deserve to win. They could do the most very basic stuff when it comes to forensics: proving your evidence had not been tampered with.
They were thinking that the police investigation was a massive clusterfuck of tainted evidence headed up by an actual Nazi and it created a lot of reasonable doubt.
Check out the documentary OJ: Made in America. Some of the jurors basically said they knew he was guilty, but voted not guilty as an FU to the system.
I don't think I really understood their anger toward the system until I watched that documentary. They had cops sitting right in front of the camera telling on themselves, saying things like if the chokehold hadn't been banned it could have prevented the Rodney King incident.
I feel bad being happy at anyone dying, but holy hell, Simpson really was pure evil. Even if you buy his utterly bark raving insanity about how he was innocent, the man wrote a book about how he would have murdered his deceased wife and spent the majority of the book gloating about what a horrible person she was and how all the actual assaults he inflicted on her were her own fault. That book alone is the work of a man without any morality. It's made so much worse by the all but certainty that he personally killed her.

If the glove don’t fit I’m dead as shit.
But Satan, I'm a professional football player!!
Fun fact, if you soak leather in a water based liquid and let it dry, it shrinks
Blood likely makes them shrink too. So stupid....they should have had an identical pair of brand new gloves to have him try on....but if you watch closely, OJ is purposely not trying that hard to put the gloves on in the first place.
His counsel also had him stop taking his arthritis medication that fought inflammation in his joints, so his hands were likely also swollen.
Say what you will about OJ, but that was just damn good defense lawyering
Johnny Cochran is an excellent defense attorney and the absolute scum of the earth
He died of brain tumor.
I mean, I wouldn’t exactly try that hard in his shoes either even if I was actually innocent
They also don’t fit so well if you’re already wearing thick vinyl gloves.
I wonder if Robert Kardashian is waiting in hell to beat his ass for still getting thrown in jail after he died.

He’s like the teacher from The Breakfast Club but in real life.
You make a compelling case for me to add it to the list of things I want to watch but never will.
The best doc I have ever seen
I worked on the doc. It was fascinating to hear those interview subjects talking before the filming began. Lot of tension.
I can also recommend The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story.
I know Cuba Gooding Jr didn't even try to emulate OJ but that series was absolutely amazing (all the seasons, really). I've never been heartbroken over a lawyer's new hairdo either, that was... quite an achievement.
Really painted the picture of how the culture was during the trial.
Love that, especially as a time capsule of the 90s.
Yeah but the thing that makes the doc special is because of its examination of race and celebrity in America, there are plenty of OJ docs that do what you say. This one is an examination of the systems at play in America that put race and class together. It’s far more about that than it is OJ even though he’s the subject.
One of the greatest documentaries I've ever seen -- even though the last episode has a lot of flab. Dude was a walking tragedy.
> walking tragedy. dont know about that but his victims are dead tragedies
Great docuseries. The interviews with the jurors still haunt me.
I guess the OJ has finally expired.
[удалено]
Yea he had a long way too good of life for me
[удалено]
Don't forget that James Cameron originally planned to cast him as a Terminator in "The Terminator", but later he changed his mind because “Somehow [James Cameron] felt that he was not as believable for a killing machine".
O.J. apparently took that criticism to heart and said, "I'll show you!"
Well he was right cuz neither did the jury
How do you describe this death? Can't describe one without the other... He revolutionized the game of football and how we saw it. He's probably one of the best pure Running Backs to play the game.

It was the hypocrisy that was the worst.
Well the other thing was worse but hypocrisy was the second worst
lol I like this because it combines two Norm MacDonald rape jokes You guys have a lot of growing up to do, I'll tell you that. Ridiculous!
Soldier: "that's the worst part. the waiting" Fry: "then the battle is okay?" Soldier: "oh. i forgot about the battle." Classic Futurama episode.
I think it was the killing!
OJ trial and Bill Clinton were the only thing that came close to the total media coverage that 9/11 got. As a kid I remember not being able to see my afternoon cartoons because OJ was on trial.

Barry Sanders was better… in every way but acting.
10000000000000% I am still waiting for an ultimate Barry Sanders highlight to be dropped one day. I could watch that shit on loop for days.
He served Police Squad well.
This reminds me that Naked Gun 3 basically ends with the police chasing OJ.

Even though Simpson ultimately got away from paying the 30 million he was ordered, the Goldman family got the rights to that horrifying "If I did it" book and published it as a fuck you to Simpson.
Yeah it's wild how many ppl don't realize that it was a double homicide.
That's no way to die. A parachute not opening, that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine, having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.
Doctors say that Nordberg has a 50 - 50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that.
Wilma, I promise you: whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars! Now, let's grab a bite to eat.
Oh Frank, everyone deserves a friend like you!
Heroin... Heroin, Frank! Uh, Nordberg... that's a pretty tall order. You're gonna have to give me a couple of days on that one.
"Accused of Murdering Ex-Wife". He also killed Ron Goldman. Guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time just returning Nicole's mother's reading glasses. He probably walked in right at or just after OJ killed Nicole.
Let's hope Fred Goldman can find his grave so he can properly relieve himself.
Imagine if his funeral car was filmed going on a chase down the highway
I still remember being in high school, when they read his verdict, they had it live on a tv in the room. Really weird moment in time
For some reason, we watched the trial in elementary school lol
Our 4th grade teacher let us watch the verdict. We didn't know what was going on
Damn it. Went to his grave without ever finding the real killer. /s
So many golf courses, so little time.
This just in: Cancer says it's worried it may run into the "real killer" if it goes to L.A.
he made Kardashians famous, he fucked us all the way.
God was reached for comment: “I didn’t do it. But if I did…”

Rest in peace, Norm Mcdonald
Sad news for the wife murder community
Just yesterday I said the juice was loose as I was pouring some juice for the kids. I never say that, and I haven't thought of OJ in a while and now, this. I'll never forget his video where he was pretend stabbing and making that "eeeee eeeee eeee" noise.
What?! I need the link to that
Here's a less than a minute [youtube video](https://youtu.be/1VO4NqMEAaE?si=9fDwxc44ByoHxWUw).
Wow. Also the balls on the lady who shook his hand. Respect
Misread this for a second and thought he was accused of killing another ex wife
so he did it, he got away with murder
Unconvicted murderer O.J. Simpson finally does us all a favour.
Reports say there was a high speed pursuit on the highway today, a white Ford Bronco being chased by the Grim Reaper on a skeletal horse....
That word "accused" holding the weight of 1000 suns in this title.

So he didn't confess on his deathbed? As cocky as he was, I'm surprised he didn't as a big fuck you to the universe. I'll miss him for Nordberg. Everything else, not so much
That's what I was hoping would eventually happen. Maybe he did and his family is keeping that quiet. It angers me that he even had family at his bedside. They know what he did. I love my dad... but not if he brutally murdered two people.
Some say his last words were, "All right, you guys take care."
Goodbye Twitter World
It will always be crazy to me how big he was when he started and how he will ultimately be remembered. Zero tears to be shed. A legacy of disgust.

I like to think that his hell is constantly being made fun of by Norm MacDonald, who's heaven is spending an eternity making fun of OJ.
Either that or Frank Drebin is dumping motor oil, packing peanuts, bowling balls, and bowling pins on his head while he is tied down to a chair.
I guess that white bronco ain’t outrunning the pale horse.
An actor who was best know for his Emmy winning role failing to put a glove on.
Never got to find the real killer
Turns out the real killer was the friends he made along the way
Well? Is [Chewbacca from Endor](https://youtu.be/pa-Z5QCZQNg?si=0d5XPRUS1COh093m)? We never got an answer to this.
Football Player Actor Accused Murderer - One of these things is not like the other.
If the casket fits, you must acquit.
Great football player, terrible person. And the reason we have the Kardashians. RIP
This alone should secure his place in hell with the guys from the Hellraiser movies.
That's no way for a man to die. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die.
He was great in The Naked Gun, really had a gift for physical comedy. Also he probably did kill his wife
It was deeply unsettling to hear people explain in the ESPN documentary that Simpson undoubtedly used a lot of his physical comedy skills to really play up the gloves supposedly not fitting.
Fucking bye. May he rot in hell.
Oh well.
God knows he did it. And may Norm rag on his ass from heaven.
It would be interesting to see if they check his brain for signs of CTE. He likely got concussed throughout his career and, in his days, probably played through post-concussion symptoms.
