OT - NO POLITICS We’re on to April & May

A teammate of mine texted Sunday to say he wouldn’t be at the game because he donated blood and was feeling some side effects.

Texted today to tell us he is actually in the end stages of kidney failure and the doctors do not understand how he is alive.

Latest he texted, he’s being transferred to a different hospital, but that they do not expect him to survive the night.

I am completely floored.

Yikes.

I know one should not speak ill of the dead but- I hope the bastard roasts in hell.

I will be curious to see what happens with his estate given the Goldman's judgement against him.

He is pure evil and I am glad he is gone from this earth. It will make me sick to hear some defending him and pretending he was a good guy, because you just know they are out there.

 

[Seidenbergy]

He can finally rest now after spending all those years tirelessly searching for the real killer.

My brother had kidney disease and ended up on dialysis. He was pretty sick before he started dialysis so it's hard to understand why your friend was not feeling sick and didn't know he had this. Good reminder to have your doctor do regular blood labs that include checking your creatinine levels.

In an additional statement, Simpson’s family stated “Our greatest regret is that [O.J.] didn’t get to die doing what he loved: killing people”

that can't be true can it

Hm. He never did find the real killers… I’m sure it wasn't for a lack of looking.

Throwing the whole double murder thing out the window, I will say, OJ was really charismatic. A good announcer and comedic actor, and his Twitter videos were surprisingly entertaining and endearing. Of course, that charm probably helped him get away with some things.

Hell of a running back too. Greatest athlete in Buffalo Bills history.

Where's Norm MacDonald when you need him?

Rewatched the original last Friday.

We heard from my sick teammate this morning.
He seems in good spirits and is undergoing more tests.

I had to look it up but it seems Ron Goldman's father out lived him.

AFAIK debts must be paid before anything can be paid to his heirs. And that judgement is most certainly a debt.

I just wonder how much he's hidden or tied up in things that aren't easy to liquify. Based on the judgement against him, there is very little that will go to his heirs.

This is an excellent piece about Nicole Brown Simpson and what OJ did to her before he murdered her.

 

[McGarnagle]

Everyone blames the jury and is mad at OJ for getting off, but in reality they should be mad at the LAPD and DA's office for absolutely bungling the case. Mark Fuhrman's behavior single-handedly tainted the prosecution's case, and Ito should've recused himself for bias after it turned out that Fuhrman had a previous workplace conflict with his wife and was taped disparaging her.

It was honestly the perfect example for the state of how not to run a trial. Johnny Cochrane didn't even need to do much other than make a couple memorable quips about the glove not fitting and to implant the racism factor in the jury's mind since they were barely 3 years removed from the Rodney King riots.

Some of the jurors over the years have admitted they found him not guilty in revenge of Rodney King. No case is handled perfect by police and DA but with what the jury was given it was not very difficult to see he was guilty. Hitler had less evidence against him.

That jury (predomenantly women) knew from day one what they were going to do. Revenge for the Rodney King case plus athlete worship doomed the prosecution.

You also have to add in that a majority of women at the time thought talking about domestic violence was taboo and that wives should try and work it out with her husband. Nicole was blamed for "bringing it on herself". The jurors have admitted to that line of thinking as well.

OJ was a monster and now he's finally where he belongs.
