ESPN says OJ one of the Top 10 overrated of all time
ESPN just had a segment on SC about the top 10 overated players of all time and OJ was on the list. I missed most of it but I did catch this. If any one else saw the whole thing fill us in. I am a little pissed about this. His sad attempt at life after football should not take away from what he did on the field. :angry:

Did you guys know that James Cameron was at first considering OJ for the Role of the Terminator in the First Terminator film, but came to the conclusion that OJ "was just too nice of a guy to play such a villain".
Arnold was also initially cast as the films hero, but after reading the script, he demanded to play the Terminator instead of Sarah Connor's protector.www.gamersconspiracy.com - where gamers conspireComment

He was a great running back and a terrible person.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

OJ was not overrated, I totally disagree with this assessment. He was the real deal, and if it wasn't for the Nicole thing, it wasn't even be a question.

I can't comment too much on those players since i didn't live in their era, just read some about them and saw videos, but some of those profiles are pretty cool. Esspicially Lynn Swann.
I do disagree with Deion Sanders though. I saw him play and he shutdown any WR he faced. Sure he wasn't the best tackler but did that weakness ever hurt him?? ESPN makes it look like he sucks because he hurt Dallas' salery cap. It's not Deion's foult Dallas paid him, thats Jerry Jones fault.Impossible is Nothing.

OJ...
Ok, I watched this guy from the time he got off the plane in Buffalo, and I can tell you...he was the real deal. He was an extrordinary talent that was a threat to go all the way EVERY TIME HE TOUCHED THE BALL. I personally cannot say that about any other back I have seen since. Keep this in mind too...Of his nine years in a Bills uniform, the Bills were below .500 six of them. In 1971 they only won once. They only played 14 games a season back then too. In his 2003 season of 1973, he averaged 6.0 yards per carry. Think about that. That's a first down every two plays. All they had to do was hand off to him to score. In 1976, the Bills were a lowly 2-12, and despite Saban resigning, Ferguson and Braxton missing most of the season due to injuries, OJ responded with an 1800+ yard year, as well as the single game rushing mark on Thanksgiving. That takes talent.
OJ's gifts came from the fact that he was dirt poor as a kid. Often times his mother didnt have the money to feed him, causing him to contract rickets as a kid. That's a softening of the bone due to lack of nutrition. His legs sagged, lowering his center of gravity. That translated to some amazing moves on the field.
Is he a scumbag? Yea. A Murderer? Probably. Overrated? I'm afraid not. Emmett Smith is overrated. My Grandmother could have run behind Dallas' line.Comment
