Poetry in motion and incredibly great athlete. Complete piece of crap not even worthy of flush in SpikedLemonade's toilet as a human being

"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."
It is still unbelievable that he got acquitted even everyone knows that he did it
Good riddance.
I met him twice.
The first time I was a college Senior. I was working at the airport for a car rental company, and he flew in with Mr. Wilson, and rented a car from us.
They both signed autographs for the staff.
At one point, Ralph said..."You guys don't want my autograph, you want the Juice!"
He then signed a one dollar bill for my co-worker.
The second time, was at the old Charter house hotel on Transit Road. There was a big Friday January 11th pep rally/happy hour, the evening before the Bills-fish playoff game.
Simpson showed up with the cameras, and it was on NBC's pregame show.
I'm in the video as they scan the bar, unfortunately, OJ's interview of me ended up on the cutting room floor.
My sister told him I had travelled all the way up from Philly to attend the game, so he interviewed me about it.
Here's NBC's clip:

RIP OJ.
FOAD Ron Goldman.
One of the best to ever play his position, a true thoroughbred.
He elevated African American athletes into mainstream advertising.
A real study in extreme contrasts.

It was surreal watching the chase, the arrest, the trial, all of it.
Here was a guy I had met twice.
Both times he signed autographs until his wrist was sore.
Talented, handsome, accepted by everyone in America, regarddless of race, creed, whatever.
A shining symbol for the city.
Then come the murders....the night I proposed to my wife.
It was a real gut punch for all of us.

Shock isn't strong enough a word.
