In April 2007, America will time-travel back to 1995: O.J. Simpson is going back to court.
Las Vegas judge Jackie Glass recently ordered Mr. Simpson (along with two co-defendants, Clarence Stewart and Charles Ehrlich) to stand trial for armed robbery of his own memorabilia from two collectors, along with 12 counts of conspiracy and kidnapping.
The victims, Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong claim to have been held at gunpoint.
Everyone has a memory attached to the O.J. Trial. When I was in Middle School my shop teacher turned on the radio for the entire class to hear the “Verdict of 95.” It was one of those seminal events that you always remember where you were when you heard about it, like when your parents heard that President Kennedy had been assassinated. Obviously not as important, but memorable at the very least.
When Simpson was found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife Nicole and Ron Goldman, many people believed (and still do) that justice had not been served. Now, as many in the media have said, karma has come to bite “the Juice” in the a** - and I couldn’t agree more. Read More »

Everybody’s favorite murdering-ex-football-star is currently under investigation for attempting to steal sports memorabilia from Palace Station Casino in Las Vegas.
While no arrests have been made O.J. is still a target suspect and currently still in Vegas. Unfortunately for the former Heisman Trophy winner, whatever happens in Vegas will not stay in Vegas, as everything he ever does - sneezing, coughing, farting, writing books, murdering - is under the watchful eye of the entire planet.
Earlier this year Simpson was denied service at a steakhouse in Louisville, Kentucky. After Simpson and friends quietly left the restaurant - always watch out for the quiet ones - his lawyer, Yale Galanter, had this to say to the steakhouse’s owner, Jeff Ruby:
“[Jeff Ruby] screwed with the wrong guy.”
Tell me about it! Who wants beef with O.J.? Read More »

I grew up with Bo Jackson and Joe Montana in my backfield. Granted, I have been a Bronco fan my entire life, but before I remember watching football games on TV, I remember running over the top of everybody in Tecmo Bowl because I knew Bo. I dominated with either Bo and the LOS ANGELES Raiders or Joe and the late 80’s 49ers on my two button, 8 bit Nintendo system back in the day. Unfortanely for everbody, Bo broke his hip and Joe was long out of the league before any realistic, current generation football game came onto the market. This all changes at the end of this summer.
