not so much
Nov 21 2006
Is is just me or is O.J. the luckiest man alive? Not only did he win the Heisman, set quite a few NFL rushing records that stood for decades, star in a 4-star series of Naked Gun movies, commit a double homicide and get off scott-free… wha-wha-what????
Sorry, maybe I should have said cleared of committing a double homicide.
The fact of the matter is, that now, years after his name was cleared in what was one of the most publicized trials of the 20th Century, O.J. Simpson is confessing. Well, maybe not confessing, but our lovable running back is now trying to tell his version of how he ‘would have’ killed Nicole and Ron. I’m wondering, was this to fill the need of telling the public how things really happened? Was O.J. just sick of all the speculation surrounding the events? Maybe he’s just had a lot of time to concoct the perfect double murder during the many years that he’s been trying to find the real killer.
I’m sorry, but to come out with a ‘speculative’ book about how your ex-wife and her boyfriend ‘may have’ died (when you were put on trial for the deaths) just smells like O.J. Simpson is trying to show the world just how big his brass balls are. Or were, considering that the book and subsequent TV special has been, for the time being, shelved due to public uproar. This is understandable, considering that it’s akin to Scott Peterson choosing to teach children to swim if he’d have been punished with only community service instead of the death penalty. As for O.J.’s book, at least we would have finally had the chance to hear, in my opinion, the most accurate account of how the deaths occurred. I mean, who better to tell the story than the kill…er…. man that was at one time accused of the killings(**did you get the pun).
That little tid-bit right there is probably the most intriguing news story to come out over the last week, unless you take into consideration the people that were robbed, shot at, shot, and swore off showers, all in the hopes of securing a Play Station 3. Whoopty-freakin-doo!!! Way to sacrifice countless precious minutes/hours of your life in order to buy something that will be $100 cheaper in 6-8 months. I’ve played one of the ‘Next Generation’ is video games already, and while they are phenomenal in graphics and all the good stuff, I just can’t see spending $600, plus the cost of an extra controller, plus any number of accessories to make the system fully functional. Call me crazy, but for the time being (this week) I’ll continue ravishing myself with the games of the first generation XBox. I mean hey, the PS3 is certainly no Zune. Yes that’s a joke, and yes you should laugh.
Fantasy Update: In the past two weeks, my ‘big money’ team has climbed from a $158 deficit to a $10 profit. Thank you Ocho Cinco and Carson. Who says Christmas comes after Thanksgiving? For this small accomplishment, I give you a new Terry Tate, new feature presentations, and new links. You can thank me later. Oh, and people in Washington, what’s with the animal love? For the love of god, I like animals, but I show my admiration in different ways that don’t involve orifices.
~Enjoy
**kill…er, put them together and there you go.
