Never forget Tim Meadows as OJ Simpson writing “I did it” on the NFL telestrater (one of the best SNL opens). This was shortly after the verdict. pic.twitter.com/nFbbANsox4

Heard it was from prostate cancer. Just another reminder for older guys to get a PSA blood test yearly.
I'm sure he died devastated by the fact that he never found the real killers.
It’s unfortunate that we will never find out who the real killers were. As far as I know he was the only one looking for them.
Perhaps a psychic can summon his ghost so he can tell us who the killer is, now that he posseses the limitless knowledge of the universe.
Drudge headline:
CANCER MURDERS OJ
Ouch...
The Onion has done better, but they've never been afraid to print anything
A very sad life after his gawdlike status after football……sad really.
I remember watching the last game of the 73 season when he rushed for over 200 yards to be the 1st back to rush for 2000 yards. I remember how great he was as a running back. Then 20 years later I remember watching him in the Bronco being chased by the cops. How he was able to get off those murder charges is still beyond belief. But that jury would not have convicted him if there was a video showing him with the knife and doing it. No sympathy for you OJ.
Instead of RIP it is RIH you dog.

The OJ trial was the first time in my life that I truly realized the extent that you could almost get away with anything if you had enough money to hire the best lawyers.
What can I say, I was young and naive back then.

They employed some of the best First Amendment lawyers that money could buy. Good Riddance OJ, you worthless POS.

I HATE THIS FN @packers TEAM! WTF!! WHY? WHY? WHY DO WE ALWAYS SUCK! Consistently DIARRHEA DEFENSE YEAR AFTER YEAR

When I heard OJ was dead my immediate hope/thought was he was stabbed and the police found a small glove at the scene.
Personally, I can never forgive him for making the Kardashians possible

I remember a Jim Rome bit where there was a recording where OJ called the cops because his girlfriend was doing cocaine with Pedro Guerrero. Frickin hilarious!
SNL did an opening back then where Tim Meadows played OJ and Will Farrel played Marv Levy(?) as a broadcast team. Meadows was diagramming a play on the telestrator and his markings spelled out "I DID IT".

Did you take a good look at the first post in this thread??

It appears some things never change
Just like many star athletes, OJ got away with pretty much everything his entire life, even murdering his wife. His "suffering" was having to live with enough money in retirement to do anything he wanted, go golfing every day, and "only" have a 3 million dollar net worth when he died. He murdered his kids' mother and the kids were by his bedside when he died.
This hit twitter yesterday, because someone's NDA became void when OJ died. USC covered up OJ's assaults of co-eds when he was winning the Heisman trophy almost 60 years ago.
Favre didn't kill anyone, but it's the same type of thinking that allows him to think he can defraud Mississippi for millions of dollars. Unfortunately, while I think some superstars and Hollywood A-listers have personal accountability, there are a lot more than we realize that get away with stuff like this that gets covered up. Deshaun Watson, Aaron Hernandez (until he murdered one too many people), Bill Cosby, Sean Combs, etc.

I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative assistant to the President of Student Affairs that semester in the work/study program. In early 1995, Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian (USC Alumni) walked up to my desk and said they had an appt with my boss. I was studying to be a criminal defense lawyer with a dual major in PoliSci and International Relations so I knew who they were. The meeting lasted about 30 mins. After they left I looked at my boss like wtf was that all about!? He walked me outside and we sat by the old sprawling big tree outside Topping and my boss lit a cigarette for the first time in years and told me I had to sign an NDA because I could confirm OJ's lawyers were there for a meeting. Then he told me what the meeting was about. Before OJ could graduate from USC, the university paid off two families of two blonde white girls that he had dated and battered. They had both gone to the LAPD to report it. One claimed he also sexually assaulted her in their relationship. The school had a vested interest in OJ going far in football and protected him at all costs. OJ had been in custody for 6 months and lawyers were in the discovery process for the trial and OJ's friend Robert Kardashian, who knew OJ from also being a student at USC, thought it would be best if those stories never saw the light of day. So a large check was written, given to my boss, and they left. I'll never forget holding that check. Now, did you hear about this before now? Nope. That's how much power money enables. After he was acquitted I changed my major to Philosophy/Psychology double major. I understood that I could harm society more than not if I pursued law. This is also why I abhor the Kardashians. They're rich thugs. Nothing more. #OJISDEAD

I'm just old and sometimes naive now.
I'm glad some of this stuff is coming out now...you knew some of this shit would eventually come out. Howard Stern famously said something back then...."Any one of us with HALF that evidence would be sitting on death row."
Money.....Pieces of paper with pictures of dead Presidents on it.....you can buy your way out of anything if you have enough of It.
The "justice" system is just SHIT.

Yes. It's obviously not just athletes.
It's how Robert Kraft can go to a "massage parlor" linked to human trafficking and eventually get a verdict to destroy the videotaped evidence that was obtained during a police sting, while some other random guy would have just had to pay the fine and take the embarrassment .
I was sitting in my office going over files on my computer while listening to the verdict being announced on a radio. The computer had Windows 3.1. lol
Funny how certain events in life happen and you remember exactly where you were and all related details surrounding that event.
I was at a pool hall with friends when we looked up at the TVs on the wall and saw OJ’s Bronco driving down the freeway loosely followed my cop cars. Suddenly TV was way more interesting that our pool game.

I just remember watching the Knicks-Rockets Game 5 up in the corner of small TV we had in our apartment while wondering when OJ was going to get out of the car and shoot himself on live TV in front of 100 million people.
That night was the high point of Patrick Ewing's career. The Knicks won the game to go up 3 games to 2 when he went for 25 and 12 with 8 blocks while going against Hakeem.
Then, in Game 6 Hakeem blocks Starks' 3 pointer at the buzzer that would have won the title and then Starks pulled his immortal 2 for 18 performance from the floor in Game 7.
Ewing becomes almost an afterthought in top NBA players lists ever, and Hakeem vaults into the top 20.
No team in that series scored more than 93 points in a game and I think every game was a one possession game inside 2 minutes in the 4th.
A very competitive and hard fought series that almost no one remembers because it was OJ all the time on the news for many months after that.

A quote from someone on another site who wasn't in the US at the time: All that I knew of it is that police on the chase first arrested John Elway because the APB said to stop a slow-moving white Bronco.
