Is O.J. Stale?

O.J. Simpson is involved in a new investigation, this time as a suspect in a Las Vegas hotel theft that took place last night.

While USC hasn't done much to promote the former Heisman winner, his name isn't coming off the record books anytime soon -- nor off of the Internet message boards. No anti-USC tirade is complete without a cheap reference to The Juice.

At what point is O.J. Simpson no longer news? Are you sick of hearing about him? Or will he remain one of the greatest sports-talk lightning rods for years to come?

The reference to "The Juice" is never "cheap."
Though his stock would have to triple for him to rise to "cheap."
Condom Nation is still in bed (with apologies to Jerry Lee Lewis)
with "The Killer." Condom Nation get out of the gutter and split
the sheets with "The Killer." You are known by the company you keep.
Any defense of "The Juice" is sour grapes.

Is cancer old news? Are you sick of hearing about it?

I knew it; that is O. J. Simpson in the Tommy Trojan outfit holding his big knife?

Richard Ray Harris

The OJ case was an experiment in furor manipulation aided by media. You can just throw out all American principles of justice and fairnes when today's media gets heavily involved. The most untrue rumour, inuendo and bias is immediately broadcast without the slightest effort to vett the info. It is about being "exclusive" rather than truthful.
The "mountain of evidence" in OJ's trial didn't include a motive, a witness, a murder weapon, nor physical evidence that only one person committing double murder sequentially.
Mark Fuhrman's previous involvement with the Simpson family and his racial tirades about blacks marrying white women might be an area of full inquiry before history freezes the public's false perception as fact.

Wade Collins

OJ Simpson is a lowlife murderer & punk. It's idiots like Richard Ray Harris who amaze me. There was more evidence in the OH trial than any 5 murders normally would have. Richard is still in denial, oh buddy how is OJ's investigation into the real murderer going?. It sounds like another angry Black man who refuses to admit anyone he has held in high esteem could be in fact a fraud. I wonder who the real racist is?

Perhaps Wade Collins could have offered up his expertise and keen insight to the prosecution during the O.J. trial. The truth is the prosection team was "out-lawyered" during the trial and subsequently lost the case.

Tommy

USC hasn't done much lately to promoted OJ? What do you call prominently displaying his #32 jersey at the Coliseum at every home game? USC AD Mike Garrett should take down that display, and put all memorabilia of OJ including his Heisman Trophy in storage and his number dropped from the USC student store apparel. All vestige of OJ should be removed from Heritage Hall. OJ reminds us daily of what a blight he has become against the good name of USC. He was a wife beater and represents everything USC is against. Last night we dismantled Nebraska and today should be a time of celebration. Instead we are reminded anew of our most prominent alum.

Not the end of the world; but, you can see it from here.

Let's do this; we've got Cal State-Northridge; Cal State-Fullerton;
University of California-Los Angeles; University of California-Irvine;
we can now have USC-OJ campus. I'm working on a mascot for USC-OJ.

R Armstrong

Tommy's theories, if carried to their logical extreme, would require us to ignore every artist and accomplished person in Germany because of the monstrous Adolph Hitler.
OJ's accomplishments at USC still mark him as one of the greatest football players of all time. He was denied the Heisman in his junior year simply because he was a junior. In his senior year, he received more first place Heisman votes than any winner before or since.
Granted that he is now universally held in low esteem. But intelligent people do not engage in book burning..nor do they erase records.

USC-OJ campus

dateline: Condom-nation:
R. Armstrong surfaces as triple threat:
1) O. J. jury pool; 2) USC-OJ campus alum; 3) O. J. apologist.
R. Armstrong is working on all "32" flavours.

Hey Tommy,

Remember, yah OJ was a wife beater, but then he cut her head off and stabbed a waiter to death...Call him what he is. He is a double murderer sociopath that is free to walk the streets. Raydeluxx must be a lawyer to think it's cool that the prosecution got "outlawyered." Hey Ray, maybe you can introduce your sister to OJ and you could all go out on a double date and talk about the good old days.
