| NEWS OJ Simpson has passed.

 

[TerryP]

I'll remember him for a few things highlighted by The Naked Gun series.

Hey, while you are at this ...

| TV/MOVIES/MUSIC - Movies you've watched more than five times.

Recently I saw a thread on X asking this question. At the time I thought, "that's a short list, if any." Seeing OJ's news brought the question back to mind. Naked Gun Naked Gun 2½ Naked Gun 3⅓

I was in school at UA, working at Rex Appliance on McFarland, when we saw the Bronco chase.

I saw it about an hour ago flash across the TV. Great football player, horrible husband and is now getting his due IMO.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Now he can expand his search for the real killer to include hell.

I was repairing a damaged laundry basket mold @ Sterilite Corp in Pinson when my pager went off with my wife’s number. She told me about it.

I had just finished my first semester teaching and coaching at Fultondale HS when the chase went down. The coaching staff was having a cookout when the news broke!

Yeah, other than the murder victims, the guy who was impacted the most by this whole sordid affair was John Elway.

All those slow white Bronco jokes..,

The juice. What a shambles of a trial

America was glued to tv.

It doesn't matter what happened. My prayer goes out to his family and friends. That's all I'll speak on this subject.

@Justneedme81 I've got a "don't speak ill of the dead" belief. Feeling nonchalant about anyone's death ... really isn't a good thing. I've been guilty.

After what I experienced in the last few months.... I wouldn't dare to go there...

What a horrible Tragedy indeed.. loved him in the naked gun..
Whether OJ did it or didn’t do it, he is being judged for that now… I blame the mainstream media for what they did to America… they used that case to divide the country racially..

 

[Rolltide24]

I was loading trucks with fireworks when the office lady called us to come see the TV. Bunch of high school guys, we all ran when Ginger called. She was hot. Watched the chase for a good 30 minutes then Terry Anderson came in and cracked the whip, reminded us there were more trucks to get on the road that night before we could go home.

 

[OldPlayer]

Wonder if he left his last words regarding the deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson.

Definitely an event that increased the racial divide. Rodney King incident was another of those fracturing, devisive events.

These two events began the undoings that MLK Jr and the Civil Rights Movement had worked so hard to bring race relations together.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

One of those events where it seemed like the world stopped, both the chase and the verdict. I was in a condo in Destin a HS friend during the chase, we were glued to the TV all evening. The verdict came when we were on a field trip loading up the buses to go back to the HS after a visit to Faulkner State Community College in Bay Minette. Someone on another bus had a radio on as the verdict was read and they relayed it to the other buses as a storm cloud opened up overhead. Reactions were mixed, most were stunned. The whole ordeal from start to finish was surreal. And Norm Macdonald skewering him every weekend on SNL in a way only Norm could... weird, but that will also always stick out in my mind.
