[SlowwHand]

He's determined, to absolutely ruin any shred of good name he may have had left.

LAS VEGAS — Investigators questioned O.J. Simpson and named him a suspect Friday in a confrontation at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia. The former football star said he went to the room to retrieve property that was stolen from him but denied breaking in.

Las Vegas Metro Police Capt. James Dillon said the confrontation was reported as an armed robbery.

"We have reported from the victim that there were weapons involved," Dillon said, but he added that no weapons had been recovered and stressed that the investigation was in its "infancy."

No charges had been filed and no one was in custody, he said.

Simpson was cooperating, Dillon said.

Simpson told the AP he was conducting a sting operation to collect his belongings at the Palace Station casino. He said no weapons were involved.

A sting.

He had even a shred left? After publishing a "this is how and why I did it" book?

QFT!

I can't wait to see the jury on this one.

"No weapons were recovered." Apparently he's skilled in ditching them.

So he was conducting a sting to get back stolen memorabilia. Why hasn't he found "the real killers" yet?

err, why is this in the sports forum?

as far as I know O.J. never played sports, only acted in a few movies (naked gun movies).

seriously he hasn't played sports in many years. He's not a sports figure, he's a celebrity not for playing sports, but for killing his wife and getting away with it.

QFT. This should be in teh Killing Your Wife And Getting Away With It sub-forum.

Dis is turning into an appropriate forum nazi.
Close call I guess, Dis. Next time he breaks the law, I'll put it in Community. Would that be ok by you?

~ahem~

Back in my day, he most certainly did

Here is a short Bio:

O. J. Simpson, a two-time All-America from the University of Southern California and the 1968 Heisman Trophy winner, was one of history's most heralded rookies when the Buffalo Bills selected him as the No. 1 player in the entire 1969 draft.

His career record for 11 seasons, the first nine in Buffalo and the 1978 and 1979 campaigns in San Francisco, confirms the rave notices were well founded. He rushed for 11,236 yards, added 2,142 yards on 203 pass receptions, returned 33 kickoffs 990 yards for a superb 30-yard average, and amassed 14,368 combined net yards. He scored 456 points on 76 touchdowns.

O. J. was not an immediate success and, in fact, did not even win Rookie of the Year acclaim in 1969. Incredibly, he was used sparingly as a running back through his first three campaigns until Lou Saban took over the reins in 1972 and immediately decided to give the 6-1, 212-pound speedster the football as often as possible.

Simpson immediately responded with massive ground-gaining performances. O.J. may be best remembered for his sensational 1973 season when he became the first back in history to rush for over 2,000 yards. With 219 yards in the next-to-last game against New England and a 200-yard output in the finale with the New York Jets, Simpson totaled 2,003 yards, tops for a 14-game season.

Many say the 1975 season was even better - 1,817 yards rushing, 426 yards on receptions and a then-record 23 touchdowns. O.J. led the league in rushing four years in 1972, 1973, 1975 and 1976.

In various selections, he was named NFL Player of the Year in 1972, 1973 and 1975. He was both All-AFC and All-Pro five straight years from 1972 through 1976. He played in six Pro Bowls, winning Player of the Game honors in the 1973 game.

No, I dont support what he did nor want to honor his name, however, he most certainly was an athlete...

[Dis]

yeah he was a bit before my time. never seen him play. does he still hold any records or did TD break his?

[ColdWizard]

John Riggins broke his record for touchdowns in a season and Eric Dickerson broke his record for yards in a season.

[Tuberski]

He has been arrested.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

He has?

Man, I learn everything at ACS.

[Tuberski]

I learned it on CBS.

ACK!

The ****** OJ jurors complained that the DNA evidence in the case, which linked Simpson to the murders as much as DNA evidence can, was "unconvincing" because "lots of people have the same blood type."

I hope they are not allowed to reproduce
