totally awesome....
i just heard about this....does he really think he is going to knock off a casino...

starting to wonder is maybe he is looney tunes

For cryin' out loud, are you kidding me?
Charged of robbery? At a Casino nonetheless.

This saddens me. When I was a very young child, my father didn't want me to have interest in sports. Long story - nothing weird. He was more into my learning how to survive in the woods, etc.......
Anyway my Grand pop was a huge sports fan, and every time I was at his house we would watch whatever sport happened to be on the whopping 5 channels available on TV at the time. My first recollections of football were of OJ Simpson. For a little while, when I was a little boy, he was my hero - literally. He had the world in his hands. Everyone loved the guy.
Such a shame.

If the glove don't fit you must acquit! Ole Johnny ain't around now to save him. I wonder how he is going to get out of this one?

I hear ya all the way, remember his airport commercial, can ya imagine him running threw a airport now... Help police he just stole my flip-flops!!!

I definitely can see him spending time in prison yet, if not for this then for some other stupid act.

I remember a time when you said running back he was all I would think of.

And the book "if I did it" goes on sale today..LOL

From what I hear on FOX, he and several other men are accused of breaking into another man's room and stealing, at gunpoint, several items described as "sports memorabilia."

Simpson claims that they were his and were stolen from him.

Anyway, things don't look good for him. Even if these goods were his, it doesn't give him the right to take the law into his own hands and get them back at gunpoint.

This storys sound too unbelievable to be true, but like they say, life is stranger than fiction.

It's a shame the US has sports legends like OJ, Vick, and Tyson to look up to.

What is the matter with the athletes in this country. Is it a matter of too much, too soon. Can't handle all the money and fame and just get too full of themselves and think that they can do whatever it is they want to do, whenever they want to do it?

Well, it looks like OJ did it again, only time will tell right now.

Makes you wonder what he would have been if he hadn't been a professional football player!

A professional criminal?

This is correct. From what I heard today on the news was he was with 5 other men.. And OJ was doing a sting, to get his stolen stuff back..

Thus OJ says, they stole the stuff from me, so I was just getting my stuff back.. He did say yes, he took the stuff.. Becasue it was his to begin with..

I will keep up with this story.. Here is another thread on this subject.
---thread closed-------------

Edit: other thread closed.. there where like 3 threads about this.. Mods have made this one the offical thread to discuss

Just saw a clip of him being arrested. They put him in the front seat to take him away. Very unusual i would think.

Think this is just some PR ploy to raise interest in his collectibles?

Well if it was, I don't think it worked out too well for him seeing as now he's being charged with armed robbery and other charges which could get him over 30 years in state prison.

Yup He is in trouble big time. You can't take the law into your own hands, thats what the cops are for. You would think he would be smarter than this, but I guess not.

As a side note has anyone of you seen the guy on the live feed of OJ's attorney outside the court after the judge ruled on his bond..."I Love Famous People, and his shirt has OJ 07... just crazy they just mentioned him live on MSNBC

Yeah, what I said in the other thread.

One of the guys that was being robbed said the audio tapes played for the public had been edited.

Peace
